Level

Level

Seam aligned with boat hull

NOTE: The transducer has a natural downward slant of 4-5 degrees from leading edge (closest to the boat transom) to trailing edge (farthest away from the boat). Looking at the back of the transducer, the seam should be slightly below the bottom of the hull.

8.Continue to adjust until the bracket is also level from port to starboard (horizontally level as you look at the transducer from behind the boat).

9.Mark the correct position on the transom by tracing the silhouette of the transducer mounting bracket with a pencil or marker.

10.Tighten the pivot bolt, using the pivot screw and nut to lock the assembly. Hand tighten only!

11.Snap open the assembly and hand-tighten the two mounting screws, then snap the assembly closed.

NOTE: You will drill the third mounting hole and finalize the installation after you route the cable and test and finish the installation in the following procedures.
