Installation

Installation Notes – Thru-Hull Transducer or

Low-Profile Transducer

The installation process for these two types is almost the same. Detailed

instructions for this installation will be included with the transducer. In this

section, we will note just a few important points.

1. Earlier we listed three general rules for placing transducers. All of

these rules apply when you are mounting a thru-hull or low profile

transducer. Here are some other rules for selecting the best mount-

ing location:

For planing hulls – Install in the flat planing area near the stern.

Always install forward of the propeller(s) and shaft(s).

For small displacement hulls – Install near the centerline of the hull

and 1/3 of the way forward from the stern. Always install forward of

the propeller(s) and shaft(s).

For large displacement hulls – Install near the centerline of the hull

and 1/3 of the way aft from the bow. Always install forward of the

propeller(s) and shaft(s).

For sailboats – Install forward of the leading edge of the keel, to one

side and near the centerline of the hull.
