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
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.

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.
