Installation Operation Manual
4.9 Transducer installation
The transducer should be installed in a location free of bubbles and away from disturbed water flow.
Smooth water flow around the transducer and along its surface are very important for consistent
operation. Areas in the center of water line length at cruising speed are usually satisfactory. Forward of
the engine and in a flat area near the center line of the boat are preferred. Do not install the transducer
behind water intakes, other through-hull fittings or irregularities in the hull.

4.9.1 Through-hull installation
Transducer installation for CVS-842/852 is only possible with through-hull installation. Various types of
rectifying tanks (Turbulence Minimizing Enclosure) are prepared according to the material of the ship’s
hull or transducer frequency used. Mount the rectifying tank to the ship’s bottom before mounting the
transducer to in the rectifying tank. The more the tank protrudes, the less the water turbulence.
