Inside the Hull Transducer InstallationInside the Hull Transducer Installation
In-hull mounting generally produces good results in single thicknessfiberglass- hulled boats. Humminbird® cannot guarantee depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the hull of the boat, since some signal loss occurs. The amount of loss depends on hull construction and thickness,as well as the installationposition and process.
NOTE: In-hull mounting requires an installed and operationalcontrol head.NOTE: The integral temperature probe will not work with in-hull mounting, so you may either want to consider purchasing a Temp Sensor or obtaining a different transducer. Humminbird® offers a transducer exchange program to swap the NEW and UNASSEMBLED transducer, accompanied by mounting hardware, for one without an integral temperature probe.

This installation requires slow-cure two-part epoxy. Do not use silicone or any other soft adhesive to install the transducer, as this material reduces the sensitivity of the unit. Do not use five-minute epoxy, as it has a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged, thus reducing signal strength.
