3. Don't mount the transducer
directly
behind
strakes or ribs on the
bottom of the hull.
Typically,
a
good
location on aluminum
boats is
between
the ribs clpsest to the
engine. (See
above.)
The
port (left)
side
of the transom is
preferred
for
mounting
the
transducer,
however if this is
not
possible,
the starboard
(right)
side can be used with
good
results.
4. Once
you
determine the best location for the
transducer,
hold the
bracket
against
the transom. The transducer should be
roughly
parallel
to the
ground.
The bottom of the hull should be about
halfway
between
the centerline of the transducer and it's bottom.
(See
the
illustration
below.) Swing
the bracket
up
and mark the transom
through
the slots in
the transducer
bracket. Now drill two holes in the center of the slots.
Use #12 stainless
steel sheet metal screws to
loosely
attach the bracket
to the transom.
