3.2 Ways of mounting the transducer
Inclination of the transducer face
Incline the transducer face approximately 2 degrees, so that the
flowing water meets it directly. This assures laminar water flow.
Mounting screws should not be extruding from the transducer,
and the space around the screws could be filled with a
compound or a locking ring.
External mount
Some transducers have a streamlined housing, designed for
installation outside the hull.
Figure 4 External mounting on steel hulls
A fairing, made by the shipyard, is placed between the
transducer and the hull, to adapt for the deadrise angle of the
hull. The fairing can be made of wood or steel, and should have
the same outline dimensions as the transducer.
