TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION

There are three basic types of transducers to consider: High Speed, Puck

Style, and the Ice-Ducer System.

HIGH SPEED TRANSDUCERS

When choosing an area to mount the transducer, keep in mind that you

need clear water flow across the face of the transducer to insure a clear

reading at all speeds. Try to stay away from rivets, ribs, or strakes that

would be just in front of the transducer.

They can disturb the water and scram-

ble the reading.

With the mounting bracket attached to

the transducer, hold it up to the boat

where you are planning to mount it.

Mark the holes on the transom, or

mounting plate, so that when the bottom

of the transducer is flush with the bot-

tom of the boat the holes are located at

the bottom of the bracket slots. This gives

you room to "fine tune" the position of

the transducer and optimize your read-

ing after you've put the boat in the water.

Ideally, the transducer should be just

under the bottom of the boat. However,

you may need to lower it 1/2” to 5/8”

to get a clear reading at top speed.

Drill out the holes and tighten the

bracket to the hull securely. Be sure to seal any holes drilled into the tran-

som with silicone to prevent water from leaking into the boat. Give the

transducer a slight tilt downward so that the back is about 1/8” lower

than the front. Tighten the bracket screws and nuts securely. Run the

transducer cord up to the unit. Plug the transducer connector into the

back of the unit and screw the retaining ring down snugly
