The 010-10224-00 transducer is designed to be mounted inside a 

fiberglass hull.  The standard plastic transom mount transducer can also be 
mounted in this fashion using this method. If using a temperature sensing 
transducer, the temperature displayed will reflect the hull temperature.

  The location has to be solid fi berglass, devoid of any air bubbles, 

laminates, fi llers or dead air space.  The location needs to be in an 
area of clean water at all speeds. Do not place the transducer over 
any strakes or behind any obstruction on the hull that would create 
turbulence at speed.

Many modern hulls have a prelocated pocket for In-hull transducer installation.  
If you are unsure if your hull is equipped with a prelocated pocket, contact 
your hull manufacturer.

Place the transducer in the water, pointed directly at the bottom and set 
unit for optimum performance. Place the transducer in the test device as 
show on the side bar.  If the sonar performance is signifi cantly degraded, 
another location will need to be tested.

1. Lightly sand the surface of the hull and face of the transducer with 400 

grit wet or dry sandpaper.

2. Build a dam using strip caulk about 1/4” tall. Pour about 1/8” of two 

part, slow cure epoxy in the dam. Place the transducer in the epoxy, 
turning the transducer to work out any air bubbles.

3. Weight the transducer in place and allow to cure for 24 hours.
