Checking the Angle and Projection
Do not position the bow of the transducer lower than the stern
because aeration will occur.
Do not position the transducer farther into the water than necessary
to avoid increasing drag, spray, and water noise and reducing boat
speed.
1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the transducer relative to the
underside of the hull (see Figure 2-9 ). The stern of the transducer should
be 13mm (1/161/8") below the bow of the transducer or parallel to the
bottom of the hull.

2. Using the vertical adjustment space in the bracket slots, slide the trans-
ducer up or down (see Figure 2-10 ). Be sure the bottom left corner of the
transducer projections 3mm (1/8") below the bottom of the hull.
