Inside the Hull Transducer Installation

Determine the Transducer Mounting Location

Decide where to install the transducer on the inside of the hull. Consider the following to find the best location:

Preferred Mounting Area

•Observe the outside of the boat hull to find the areas that are mostly free from turbulent water. Avoid ribs, strakes and other protrusions, as these create turbulence (Figure 28).

•As a general rule, the faster the boat can travel, the further aft and closer to the centerline of the hull the transducer has to be located in order to remain in contact with the water at high speeds (Figure 29).
