Transom mount transducer
The transom mount transducer (525-5PWD) is very commonly employed, usually on relatively
small inboard/outboard or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat be-
cause turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer.
There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull (for
deep V-hulls).
Transom mount transducer mounting locations
Installing the transom mount transducer on a flat hull
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the engine and where the water flow is
smooth.
1. Drill four pilot holes in the mounting location.
2. Attach the transducer to the bracket with 5x20 tapping screws (supplied).
3. Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to the bottom.
Note: If necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air bubbles staying on the transducer
face, incline the transducer about 5° downward at the rear - loosen the screws fixing the trans-
ducer, tilt the transducer and tighten screws. This may require a certain amount of experimen-
tation for fine tuning at high cruising speeds.
4. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the transducer and transom with epoxy material to
eliminate any air spaces.
