3. Don't mount the transducer directly
behind strakes or ribs on the
bottom of the hull. Typically, a good location on aluminum boats is between the ribs clpsest to the
engine. (See
above.) The port (left)
side
of the transom is
preferred for
mounting
the transducer, however if this is
not possible, the starboard (right) side can be used with good results.
4. Once you determine the best location for the
transducer, hold the
bracket against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel
to the ground. The bottom of the hull should be about halfway
between
the centerline of the transducer and it's bottom. (See the illustration below.) Swing
the bracket up
and mark the transom
through the slots in
the transducer bracket. Now drill two holes in the center of the slots. Use #12 stainless steel sheet metal screws to loosely
attach the bracket to the transom.
