Assembling
the Transducer
Bracket
Use a trolling motor transducer if –
you want to attach the transducer to a trolling motor.
Use a Sidelooker transducer if –
you need a way of searching for fish on either side of the boat. This type
of transducer is attached to the bracket of the transom-mount transducer.
Assembling the Transducer Bracket
Fit together the two parts of the transducer bracket as shown in Fig. 2-2.
When the installation is complete, the parts snap together as shown.
Positioning the Transom-Mount Transducer
Begin by finding the best location for the mounting bracket. Here are the
rules:
• If your boat has one propeller (outboard or inboard-outboard), mount
the transducer about 18” (455 mm) to the side of the centerline of
the boat. See Fig. 2-3. Choose the side that is on the downstroke of
the propeller. (This is usually the starboard side of the boat.) This
will reduce any interference caused by air bubbles.
• If your boat has twin propellers (outboard or inboard-outboard),
place the transducer near the centerline of the boat.
• If the propeller can be turned to steer the boat, allow at least 2" (50
mm) beyond the swing radius of the propeller. This will prevent the
