DEPTH TRANSDUCER
The SonarMite system uses a „boat‟ shaped transducer in a „knock off‟ fitting for
fixing to the transom of a light boat or more commonly in a temporary mounting
using a survey detail pole.
Hydrodynamic shape provides vertical sound beam orientation on hull
deadrise angles up to 30
Reversible wedge allows mounting to transom angles from 2 to 22
Integral release bracket protects against impact damage, mounts with 3 screws,
and provides 12 mm of vertical adjustment
Chemical and impact resistant plastic housing
Designed to meet CE requirements
Shielded piezoceramic element for noise free echo sounder display
Standard cable length: 7.6 m (25‟)
Transom Mounting Transducer
Transducer Mounting
When mounting the transducers the following points should be taken into
consideration …
How near to the Metacentre of the boat is the transducer
Is any turbulence generated around or in front of the transducer when moving
Is the turbulence from the propellers in the field of view of the transducer
The only important consideration in mounting is that the transducer is always in the
water and that the transducer does not represent an obstacle when the boat is used at
