Transducer Installation
This document covers the installation of all 83/200kHz, 50/200kHz and Downscan transducers using
transom and shoot-thru hull installation methods, where applicable. This manual is divided into two
parts, covering traditional sonar and downscan sonar.
Make sure you read all the installation instructions before drilling holes in your vessel!
Mounting the transducer
Transducer location selection and installation are two of the most critical steps in sonar installation. To
function properly the transducer must be in the water at all times, and in a location that has a smooth ow
of water when the boat is moving.
