Figure 2-3: Transom Mount Transducer Location
• Do not mount the transducer behind any hull fittings, intakes or other parts
extending from the hull that may cause turbulence or air bubbles.
• The bracket has a quick-release mechanism, shown Figure 2-4 . This allows
the transducer to flip up if it hits any debris or the bottom. Allow enough clear-
ance above the transducer for it to swing upwards completely – this is about
10" (254 mm), measured from the bottom of the transom.
