Furuno GP-7000F Installing the transom mount transducer on a deep-V hull, Transducer preparation

Installing the transom mount transducer on a deep-V hull

This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good performance because the effects of air bubbles are minimal. Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If the boat is placed on a trailer, care must be taken not to damage the transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water and put on the trailer.

Transducer preparation

Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent liquid soap. This will lessen the time necessary for the transducer to have good contact with the water. Otherwise the time required for complete "saturation" will be lengthened and performance will be reduced.

DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.
