3.4.3 "OVER-THE-SIDE" transducer installation
A mount of this type is frequently constructed from a length of pipe. This fixture should be sized to position the
transducer well below the waterline and the pipe then fixed to a sturdy support on the vessel. Lines generally are
attached at the transducer pipe and tied off fore and aft in order to maintain a stable, horizontal transducer
attitude. Care should be taken to assure adequate protection for the transducer cable, particularly at the point
where the cable leaves the transducer body.
In all of the above installations, particular care should be taken to assure that the transducer radiating face
remains as parallel to the water surface as much as possible while the vessel is moving.
