PUCK STYLE TRANSDUCERS

There are three ways in which a Puck Style trans-

ducer can be mounted. It can be mounted In-Hull, on

an electric trolling motor, or portable (with a suction

cup or on an arm of some type).

IN-HULL MOUNTING

This method of gluing the transducer to the hull gets the same results

as if you were using the High Speed transducer, only there are no holes

to drill in the boat and there is no transducer on the transom to get dam-

aged by impact. With a good installation the losses through the hull will

be negligible. This installation is most common in fiberglass boats, but

you can also achieve good results in aluminum hull boats as well.

Finding the best location for the transducer before mounting is critical.

Choose a flat smooth spot near the center of the bilge area and near the

back of the boat. It is a good idea to make a "test run" before you per-

manently install the transducer to make sure that you can get an accept-

able reading through your hull, and when the boat is on plane. Put about

a half inch of water in the bilge area and hold the transducer in the intend-

ed location. Move the transducer around until you get the best reading.

Mark that spot.

To install the transducer, first drain the water from your test run and

then clean the spot of mud and oil. If the mounting area is rough, sand

it smooth with some medium grit sand paper. Using an epoxy or silicone

glue, make a puddle about the same diameter as the transducer on the

hull. Place the transducer in the glue. Press it down firmly, gently twist-

ing it back and forth, making sure that there are no air bubbles in the glue

between the transducer and the hull. Let the glue dry completely before

turning the unit on.

Run the transducer cord up to the unit taking the same care as you did

when you ran the power cord. Plug the transducer connector into the

back of the unit and screw the retaining ring down tight.
