Use one of the following methods to determine if your chosen location is satisfactory:

1.Place the transducer in a plastic bag filled 1/2 to 3/4 full of water. Tie or tape the bag tightly around the transducer cable. Wet the selected location and place the bag against the hull, pressing the transducer face against the hull. If the hull is void free at this point, the depth sounder should now operate.

2.Coat the face of the transducer with silicone grease or petroleum jelly. Then press with a twisting motion against the hull. If the hull is void free at this point, the depth sounder should now operate.

Mounting the Transducer

1.If the interior surface of the hull at the selected spot has a rough pattern, grind it with a disc sander until smooth. Any grease or oil on the surface must be removed.

2.Mix the two-part epoxy supplied with the transducer for at least 3 minutes. If this is not done, proper bonding of the transducer to the hull will not occur and false readings can occur. The working time of the epoxy is 5 minutes. The hull temperature must be 60° or higher for the epoxy to bond sufficiently.

3.Apply the mixture to the clean location on the hull and to the face of the transducer in a small amount.

4.Press the face of the transducer into the spot of epoxy. To remove any air bubbles, slowly rotate in one direction only, until the transducer is physically against the hull or within 1/4" of the hull.

THIN LAYER OF 2-PART EPOXY

HULL

No more than 15 Degrees

INSIDE THE HULL

When the epoxy has cured, it should be permanently bonded to the hull and hard to the touch. Test the epoxy which extends out of the underside of the transducer with a screwdriver to ensure that it can’t be dented, and that it is completely hard. Epoxy which is not hardened will eventually cause improper readings.
