Skimmer Transducer Shoot-thru-hull Installation
Before attempting any installation on boats with otation material sandwiched within the hull,
consult the boat manufacturer. In a shoot-thru-hull installation the transducer is epoxied to the
inside of the boat hull.
WARNING: Do not remove any material from the inner hull. Careless grinding or cutting
on the hull could damage the integrity of the hull. Contact the boat dealer or manufacturer to
conrm hull specications.

Note: The previous image shows a Skimmer transducer epoxied to a at, solid portion of the
boat hull near the transom. The circled image is a close-up view of the transducer epoxied to
the hull.
On vee hulls try to place the transducer
where the dead rise is 10° or less.
Note: While you can epoxy a Skimmer transducer to the inside of a boat hull, we
recommend using a Pod transducer for this type of installation. Use care when mounting a
transducer inside a boat hull. Once epoxied into position, the transducer can be very difcult
to remove.
