Installing the transom mount transducer on a deep-V hull
This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good performance because the effects of
air bubbles are minimal. Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If the
boat is placed on a trailer, care must be taken not to damage the transducer when the boat is
hauled out of the water and put on the trailer.

Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent liquid
soap. This will lessen the time necessary for the transducer to have good contact with the water.
Otherwise the time required for complete "saturation" will be lengthened and performance will be
reduced.
DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.
