Mounting the Transducer on a Transom

When selecting a transom mount location, consider the following for optimal performance:

5333*AYHAWK

• For your sonar to operate properly, the transducer must be

located in calm water. DO NOT mount the transducer behind

strakes, rivet lines, struts, fittings, water intake, discharge

ports, eroding paint, or anything that creates turbulence.

• Mount the transducer as close to the center of the boat as

possible.

• DO NOT cut the transducer lead. (This voids your warranty.)

• DO NOT mount the transducer in locations where it might

be jarred when launching, hauling, trailering, or storing.

• DO NOT mount the transducer in the path of the prop on

single-drive boats. The transducer can cause cavitation that

can degrade the boat’s performance and damage the prop. On

twin-drive boats, mount the transducer between the drives, if

possible.

NOTE: DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake or discharge ports, or anything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. The transducer must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance.
