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
conrm hull specications.

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 difcult
to remove.
