Inside the hull installations require no holes be drilled into the boat and
through experimentation, high-speed operation comparable to transom
mounting can be achieved. Two part, slow cure epoxy is required to glue
the transducer in place.
ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS
The 450TX comes with everything necessary for installation and operation
on most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a
different type of transducer. Inboard boats, wood or metal hulls, and sail
boats create unique transducer mounting needs. Alternate transducers and
mounting methods are detailed below.
Portable Mounting
The standard transducer can be adapted for
portable installations using part number
MHX-PT2. This accessory adapts your trans-
ducer to a suction cup mount for temporary
installation on the boat hull or other surface.
Trolling Motor Mounting
The standard transducer can also be adapted
to mount on most trolling motors using part
number AD-STM-7. This accessory includes a
bracket and hose clamp that allows mounting
the transducer to the body of most trolling
motors.
Thru-Hull Mounting
Thru-hull transducers install through a hole
drilled in the hull of the boat. Larger boats or
boats with inboard motors create turbulence
that make transom mounting ineffective.
Also, hulls that are very thick or are double
layered, or made from materials such as
