Positioning the Transom-Mount Transducer
Begin by finding the best location for the mounting bracket. Here are the rules:
•If your boat has one propeller (outboard or
•If the propeller can be turned to steer the boat, allow at least 2" (50 mm) beyond the swing radius of the propeller. This will prevent the propeller from damaging the transducer when it is turned. After installation, check the clearance by turning the wheel so the propeller swings toward the transducer. There should always be a 2" (50 mm) clearance.
