NSTALLATION

Tool List (not included)—drill, 3/8" wrench or socket, 5/32" and 

1/8" drill bits, masking tape, #2 Phillips screwdriver, marine sealant.

1.  Position the transom mount at the selected location, making 

sure the transducer is parallel with the water line. Mark the 

center locations of each hole on the transom mount (see 

figures to the right).

2.  Using the 5/32" bit, drill the pilot holes approximately 

1" (25 mm) deep at the marked locations. To avoid drilling the 

holes too deep wrap a piece of tape around the bit 1" from 

the point of the bit. 

3.  Apply marine sealant to the 5 x 30 mm screws. Attach the 

transducer to the transom using the 5 x 30 mm screws. Adjust 

the transducer to extend beyond the bottom of the transom 

approximately 1/8" (3 mm) on fiberglass hulls or 3/8" (10 

mm) on aluminum hulls. Adjust the transducer to be aligned 

parallel with the water.

4.   Tighten the 10-32 locking nut until it touches the mounting 

bracket, and then tighten 1/4 turn more (do not overtighten).

  NOTE: After you install the transducer on a transom, it is highly 

recommended you test the installation (see
