Inside the Hull Transducer Installation
Route the Cable
1.Once the mounting location is determined and you have marked the position of the transducer, route the cable from the transducer to the control head.
Permanently Mount the Transducer
1.Make sure the position of the transducer is marked.
2.You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this procedure.
3.Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to provide a smooth mounting surface.

4.Mix an ample quantity of
5.Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy (Figures 28 and 30).
6.Press the transducer into placewith a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air from underneath, keeping the pointed end of the transducer body pointed forward, towards the bow (Figure 31).
NOTE: Proper operationrequiresthe pointedend of the transducerbody to face towardsthe bow.
7.Weight the transducer so that it will not move while the epoxy is curing.NOTE: When the epoxy cures, no water is necessaryinside the hull.8.If you unplugged the transducer cable at the beginning of this procedure, plug it back into the control head.
Your control head is now ready for operation.NOTE:Neitherwater,spilledgasoline,noroilwillaffecttheperformanceof thetransducer.
