Positioning the Transom-Mount Transducer

Begin by finding the best location for the mounting bracket. Here are the rules:

•If your boat has one propeller (outboard or inboard-outboard), mount the transducer about 18” (455 mm) to the side of the centerline of the boat. See Fig. 2-3. Choose the side that is on the downstroke of the propeller. (This is usually the starboard side of the boat.) This will reduce any interference caused by air bubbles.
