3. Now move the transducer around to find the best location with the 

strongest possible bottom signal. If you find a spot with an acceptable 
bottom signal, mark the location and move on to Step 4. 

If you can't get an acceptable bottom signal, try turning up the 

sensitivity by three or five keystrokes and then move the transducer 
around once more. If you find a spot that works, mark it and move on to 

Step 4. 

If you have to turn up sensitivity by more than five keystrokes to get a 

good signal, the transducer should be mounted on the outside of the 

hull. This is especially true if you have to turn sensitivity all the way 
up to get a decent bottom signal. 

4. Most people can get good results by following steps 1 through 3, so this 

step is optional. If you want to make an extra effort to be absolutely sure 
that your selected location will work under all conditions, make a test 

run with the boat on plane and observe the bottom signal. You'll need to 

figure some way to prop the transducer into position while you make 
your test run. (A brick or two might be sufficient to hold it in place.) 

5. When you're satisfied with a location, mark it and proceed with 

the installation. 

Shoot-thru-hull Installation 
If you are installing the transducer on a hull with floatation material 
sandwiched within the hull, refer to the text "Hulls with Flotation 

Materials" beginning on page 21. 

1. Make sure the area is clean, dry and free of oil or grease, then sand 

both the inside surface of the hull and the face of the transducer with 

100 grit sandpaper. The sanded hull area should be about 1-1/2 times 

the diameter of the transducer. The surface of the hull must be flat 
so the entire transducer face is in contact with the hull prior to 

bonding. After sanding, clean the hull and transducer with rubbing 

alcohol to remove any sanding debris.
