Mounting the Transducer
1. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole in the preferred transducer location. Refer to
the previous section to determine the best location for your type of
boat.
2. Drill a hole “slightly” larger than the stem of the transducer. Be
careful not to make it too large as you will run the risk of water
leaking into the hull.
3. Cut the fairing block to the shape of your hull and insert the cable
and stem of the transducer through half of the fairing block.
4. Apply a good grade of underwater marine sealant (polysulfide
compound) to the flange on the transducer and to the surface of
the leveling block where the block touches the outside of the hull.
Apply enough sealant so that it beads out around the transducer as
you tighten the transducer nut.
5. Put the remaining half of the fairing block on the inside, over the
transducer, along with sealant next to the hull. Tighten lightly with
a wrench.
6. Clean off the excess sealant from around the transducer.
IMPORTANT
After launching the boat, be certain to check the transducer location
for leaks.
