∙Do not install it on a lifting strake since this is the area where air bubbles travel from the bow to the stern, to provide a smooth ride.
∙On displacement power boats (trawlers), mount the transducer well aft and close to the centerline.
∙On I/Os, mount the transducer close to the engine(s).
∙On inboards, always mount the transducer well ahead of the propeller(s), and shafts.
IMPORTANT
Never mount a transducer in direct line or within 4 feet behind another
LOW PROFILE TRANSDUCERS
The low profile style of transducer is ideal for high speed sport boats and sailboats. This style of transducer is designed to be mounted flush against the hull without a fairing or leveling block. The hull deadrise angle must not exceed 10° in order to use this transducer fitting.
Mounting the Transducer
1.Drill a 1/8" pilot hole in the preferred transducer location.
2.Drill a
3.Have some type of soft backing plate or thin piece of plywood
4.Route the transducer cable through the hole in the hull.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull on the cable as this may cause internal damage to the transducer by causing an internal wiring short.
