A. Drill a ‘l&sting Hole Location For The Stuffing lbbe.
Gaugingwhere the transducer mountingrods willgo, see ifthere is a strake
or other hull irregularity near the hardware sites for rods and stuffing tube.
If no possible interference is apparent from inside the hull, or outside the
hull, drill a 3 mm (l/S”) diameter pilot hole. If a restriction is encountered,
you mayhave to select another location. Note that sometimes you may have
to drill from the outside of the hull.
B. Stuffing ‘lbbe Hole Preparation:
Drill a 28 mm (1 l/S”) hole perpendicular to the outside hull surface for
the stufling tube from the outside ofthe hullat pilot hole location. Remove
all burrs and clean the area around the hole, inside and outside, to ensure
that the caulking will seal. It is important that the circumference of the
flanged nut that secures a non-welded stuffing tube from inside the hull be
in contact with the hull surface. Shims may be required.
C. ‘Ikansducer Mounting Hole Preparation:
Drill two 10 mm (13/32”) holes in the hull and in the backing blocks for
the transducer mounting rods. To reduce drag, care must be taken to ensure
that the two rod holes are drilled parallel to the keel to maintain the
alignment of the transducer fore and aft.
Note that the 2528L housing is
symmetrical and either end of the transducer could be positioned forward.
253.4 lkansducer Installation
The order of assembly for the transducer is to first mount the stuffing tube
into the hull. Follow by mounting the fairing block and backing blocks to
the hull with the two stainless steel rods provided. Finally the transducer
gets bolted onto the hull. Each step is
detailed in the following paragraphs.
1. Install The Stuffing lbbe First.
Remove the rubber bushing, washer
and packing nut from the stuffing tube.
Select a marine grade polysulfide, ure-
thane or RTV bedding/caulking com-
pound for sealing the units to the hull.
Following the recommendations of the
caulking compound manufacturer,apply
a 3 mm (118’3 thick layer of caulking on
the stuffing tube flange that makes con-
tact with the outside of the hull, and up
