4. Permanently mount the transducer
1. Make sure the position of the transducer is marked.
2. You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this
procedure.
3. Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the surface is
excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to create a smooth mounting surface.
4. Slowly and thoroughly mix an ample quantity of two-part slow cure epoxy. Avoid trapping air
bubbles.
5. Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy.
6. Press the transducer into place with a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air from
underneath, keeping the end of the transducer that has the mounting knuckle pointed forward,
towards the bow of the boat.
NOTE: Proper operation requires the end of the transducer that has the mounting knuckle to face towards
the bow of the boat.
7. Weight the transducer so that it will not move while the epoxy is curing.
NOTE: When the epoxy cures, no water is necessary inside the hull.
8. If you unplugged the transducer cable at the beginning of this procedure, plug it back into the
control head.
NOTE: Neither water, spilled gasoline, nor oil will affect the performance of the transducer.
