2.Choose a location where you can easily reach the transducer from inside the boat. This will allow you to service the unit. Allow at least 6" (152 mm) of headroom above the transducer.

3.When choosing a mounting location, drill a small pilot hole (1/8" or 3.2 mm) from the inside of the hull. Before you drill the hole, be sure you will be able to reach the large nut on the top of the unit, and that there will be enough clearance for the cable. If there is a strake or other feature on the hull, drill from the outside of the hull instead. (This small hole can be filled easily if the mounting location is not suitable.)

4.The position of the transducer is especially critical on high speed boats (capable of more than 20 knots). Check the locations of the transducers on similar boats before installing the transducer in your own boat. Choose the location which will offer the best performance.

5.If the bottom of the hull at the mounting location is flat, you can mount the transducer directly through the hull. If the hull rises at an angle (the “deadrise angle”) of more than 10°, you must include a mounting block or “fairing.” The transducer must be mounted in a vertical position. Attach the fairing block to the hull as firmly as possible. This fairing block must be able to resist the drag of the water against the hull, and must also be completely waterproof.

6.If the hull of the boat has a core-type hull, you will need to follow some special mounting procedures. The core material must be protected from any water which may leak from the inside of the boat. (If the core material is allowed to remain wet, it may rot and weaken the hull.)

7.When working with the transducer, support it by holding the body of the unit. Do not hang the transducer from the cable.

8.It is very important to seal the opening around the transducer using a high-quality marine sealant suitable for underwater use. After installation, do not leave your boat in the water for any amount of time without checking for leaks.
