Eagle Electronics 245DS manual Transom Transducer Assembly and Mounting

Fourth, a Skimmer transducer with a built-in temp sensor will show only the temperature of the bilge, not the water surface temp.

Follow the procedure listed in the shoot-thru-hull installation section at the end of this lesson to determine if you can satisfactorily shoot through the hull.

Transom Transducer Assembly and Mounting

The best way to install these transducers is to loosely assemble all of the parts first, place the transducer's bracket against the transom and see if you can move the transducer so that it's parallel with the ground.

1.Assembling the bracket. Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracket as shown in the following illustration. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet.

Place each ratchet into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the dot stamped into the metal bracket.

This position sets the transducer's coarse angle adjustment for a 14° transom. Most outboard and stern-drive transoms have a 14° angle.

Align plastic ratchets in bracket.

2.Aligning the transducer on the transom. Slide the transducer between the two ratchets. Temporarily slide the bolt though the trans- ducer assembly and hold it against the transom. Looking at the trans- ducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust so that its face is paral- lel to the ground. If it does, then the "A" position is correct for your hull.
