Installation  The Transducer

Read this section carefully before attempting the
transducer installation. Remember, the

transducer location is the most critical part
of the installation. If this is not done properly,

the transducer can’t perform at its designed
potential. Therefore the performance of the
fishfinder, especially at higher speeds, will not be
satisfactory.

 Transom Mount Transducer

Location

The transducer can be installed on any outboard
or sterndrive powered boat. The transom mount
transducer has a safety “kic k up” mounting brac ket
to help minimise damage to the transducer should
it impact the bottom or floating debris in the water.

Select a position for the transducer that will:

• allow the transducer a smooth flow of water
over its surface at all times.

• ensure a mount as deep in the water as
possible.

• be clear of any interference from the trailer
when launching or retrieving the boat.

• be away from planing strakes or other
projections from the hull that may cause
aerated water to flow over the face of the
transducer.

• be away from the propeller

• be at least 150 mm ( 6" ) away from the keel

of the boat.

Mounting

Once the best location of the transducer is
determined, hold the transducer and bracket
against the transom. The bottom surface of the
transducer needs to sit parallel to the surface of
the water for the best signal return. The lower face
of the transducer should extend down below the
bottom of the hull so that it will be below the
surface of the water at high speeds. (See fig.

2.1)

fig. 2.1

Ideal water-line

Mark the transom through the bracket slots to
correctly place the two outer screws. Now drill
the two holes in the centre of the slots. This will
allow you to adjust the transducer position later
on if required. Use two of the three stainless
screws supplied to attach the bracket to the
transom. Ensure the lower f ace of the tr ansducer
is parallel with the ground (see fig. 3.1 and 3.2).
Tighten the two screws.
