How to assemble the piggyback mount kit

1.2 Transducer

The performance of this sounder is directly related to the mounting location of the transducer. When selecting a mounting location keep in mind the following points:

Select a location not influenced by air bubbles and engine noise.

As a general rule the position between 1/3 and 1/2 of ship’s length from the bow is usually a good location.

The face of the transducer must be facing the sea bottom under normal cruising conditions.
