Installation Notes – In-Hull Transducer

Detailed instructions for this installation will be included with the trans- ducer. In this section, we will note just a few important points.

1.Choose the best mounting location:

For outboard powerboats – Install as far aft as possible

For inboard/outboard powerboats – Install close to the engine(s) For inboard powerboats – Install forward of the propeller(s) and shaft(s)

For sailboats – Install near the centerline of the hull and forward of the leading edge of the keel

2.An in-hull transducer may only be installed in a fiberglass hull which is no more than 1" (25 mm) thick. The in-hull transducer may not be installed in wood or aluminum hulls.

3.Use the standard in-hull transducer if it will be installed in a flat part of the hull, or a section with no more than 10° of deadrise. Use the angled in-hull transducer if the mounting location has up to a 22° of deadrise.

4.Do not try to compensate for the angle of the hull by fairing the epoxy adhesive on the face of the transducer.

5.Use the epoxy supplied with the in-hull transducer, or an equivalent epoxy glue. Do not use any other type of adhesive, including silicone or RTV adhesive.

Installation Notes – Trolling Motor Transducer

Both Downlooker and Sidelooker transducers may be installed on a trolling motor. See Fig. 2-8.

Detailed instructions for these installations will be included with the transducer(s). The Downlooker transducer is mounted on the horizontal gear case of the motor. The Sidelooker transducer is attached to the vertical support tube. These installations are simple, but it is important to keep these points in mind:

1.Keep the Sidelooker transducer fully submerged. The transducer will only produce an image if it is immersed in water.

2.Keep the Sidelooker transducer clear of weeds or debris.

3.When the position of the trolling motor is changed, the field of view of the Sidelooker also changes. The Sidelooker can be aimed at interest- ing echoes, but can also be positioned so that it is looking back at the hull. Be aware of the position of the Sidelooker transducer.
