1.3 Installation of Transducers
Installing the inside-hull mount transducer
Necessary tools
You will need the following tools:
Sandpaper (#100)
Silicone sealant
Remarks on installation
Do the installation with the boat hauled out of the water.
Turn off the engine while installing the equipment.
Install the transducer in the engine room.
Selecting the mounting location
Keep the following points in mind when selecting a mounting location:
The mounting location should be where the hull is of single-hull thickness and is void of air
or flotation materials other than solid fiberglass between the transducer face and the water.
Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribs which run under the hull.
Avoid a location where the rising angle of the hull exceeds 15°, to minimize the effect of the
boat’s rolling.
You will finalize the mounting location through some trial and error. The procedure for this is
shown later.
