Installation Instructions
12
The following instructions explain how to install a Pod transducer inside a hull or
on a trolling motor. Read the following instructions carefully before attempting any
installation. Use extreme care when mounting a transducer inside a boat hull. Once
epoxied into position, the transducer can be very difcult to remove.
Pod Transducer shoot-thru-hull installation
Before attempting any installation on boats with otation material sandwiched with-
in the hull, consult the boat manufacturer.
A transducer can not shoot through wood or metal hulls. Wood and metal hulls
require either a transom mount or "thru-hull" installation. For shoot-thru-hull appli-
cations many boat hulls have a at keel pad that offers a good transducer mounting
surface.
The previous image shows a Pod transducer epoxied to a at, solid portion of
the boat hull near the transom. The transducer should be installed as close to
the transom as possible, close to the center line.
Before you epoxy the transducer to the hull, make sure the area is clean, dry and free
of oil or grease. The surface of the hull must be at so the entire transducer face is
in contact with the hull. Also, make sure the cable is long enough to reach the sonar
unit before the transducer is epoxied into place.
NOTE: Transducer location and installation is one of the
most critical steps in sonar installation.
WARNING: Do not remove any material from the inner hull.
Careless grinding or cutting could damage the integrity of the
hull. Contact the boat dealer or manufacturer to conrm hull
