joist support for that location. Drill a 5/16” (.79 cm) pilot hole that is approximately 2 inches (5 cm)
deep into the joist. Place two (2) Jam Nuts on the Hanger Bolt and tighten the nuts together (see the
joist style diagram on the previous page). Turn the Hanger Bolt into the joist up to the place on the
bolt where the threads change from wood threads to machine threads. Loosen and remove one of
the Jam Nuts.
Lifting the transducer up to the Hanger Bolt, place the transducers brass mounting nut onto the
machine thread side of the Hanger Bolt. Insuring not to cross-thread the Hanger Bolt into the brass
nut, gently turn the transducer 5 to 6 complete revolutions. If you feel resistance, stop immediately.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Spin the Jam Nut that is still on the Hanger Bolt down to the brass nut and, using two wrenches (one
on the Jam Nut and one on the brass nut), tighten the Jam Nut against the brass nut.
CAUTION: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE JAM NUT TO THE BRASS NUT BY TURNING THE
TRANSDUCER. THIS WILL RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSDUCER AND WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.

If you are using the bridge mount, determine which type of bridge you want to use (straight or arched).
If you are using the arched bridge style, cut the arch using the dimensions shown on the previous
page.

be at least 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick. Screw the bridge board securely between the support joists. Follow the
directions for installing the Hanger Bolt and the transducer under Step 3, above.
