Mounting the transducer
This chapter provides instructions for mounting a transom mount
skimmer transducer. Separate instructions for installing
the StructureScan HD and TotalScan transducers are provided with
the transducers.
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 flow of water while the boat is moving.
Warning: Read all the mounting instructions before
drilling or cutting holes in your vessel.
Research
Before starting the installation of the transducer, check the
following:
• Find out if the boat builder has a recommended installation
location
• Establish the direction of rotation of the propeller(s)
• With the boat traveling at cruising speed, watch the water flow
behind the boat to find the area with the smoothest flow (least
bubbles)
Select a transducer location
The primary aim is to stay clear of propeller and hull generated
turbulence, while mounting the transducer as close to the center of
the vessel as possible.
