WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL UNDERNEATH A GASOLINE OVERFLOW AS THIS WILL
DESTROY THE PLASTIC MATERIAL OF THE TRANSDUCER AND THE BRACKET AND IS NOT
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. Also, do not use LOCKTITE or any similar adhesives on the
mounting hardware as these materials also destroy the transducer.
1. Attach the transducer to the bracket as shown.
2. WEDGE FORWARD: The style of the transducer with the wedge installed pointing toward
the bow is ideal for aluminum hulls, deep-vee hulls, and flat bottom boats. The wedge allows
turbulence and water to flow around the face of the transducer and will give high speed
performance.
3. Keep the face of the transducer clean and do not paint unless you use paint designed for
transducers as described in the section on Transducer Painting.
4. Keep the transducer cable as far away as possible from engines, motors, and other wires.
5. If you leave your boat in the water, follow the instructions for transducer maintenance and/or
painting the face of the transducer with transducer paint designed for this purpose.
6. Just before launching your trailerable boat, thoroughly wipe the face of the transducer with a
detergent type liquid soap to clean the face of the transducer. This reduces the amount of
time required for the transducer to establish good contact with the water.
INSTALLATION: TRANSOM MOUNT TRANSDUCERS
8
Transducers can be installed on either side, although on single engine boats, the STARBOARD
(right) side is preferred due to the potential of engine cavitation caused by the rotational pitch of
the prop. (i.e. The turbulence caused by the transducer could cause your boat’s engine to
cavitate if the transducer is on the Port side and the rotation of the prop is clockwise.)
WARNING: DO NOT PUT UNDER FUEL OVERFLOW!!!
