• High-Speed Transom: This style is designed to be mounted externally on the
transom of your boat. It has a special wedged shape to allow clear water flow
when running at high boat speed.
• Puck Style: Puck transducers are meant for attachment to an electric trolling motor.
They have a special curved shape and attachment slots just for this purpose. Pucks
are also commonly used for in-hull mounting within fiberglass boats.
• AlumaDucer™: This style is specially designed for in-hull mounting in aluminum
boats. The transducer overcomes the inherent signal loss when shooting through
an aluminum hull. The Alumaducer™ is a Vexilar exclusive.

• Transom Mounted: the method by which the transducer is mounted external on the
back of the boat. The transducer is attached at the bottom of the transom with a
small portion of it extending below the hull line. (see page 44)
• In-Hull Mounting: the method by which the transducer is glued to the inside of
the hull of the boat. The sonar signal shoots through the hull and into the water.
The use of an AlumaDucer™ is required to achieve a full strength signal when
mounting in aluminum hulls. (see page 46)
• Trolling Motor Mounting: the method by which the transducer is attached to the
lower unit of the electric trolling motor. (see page 48)
• Portable Mounting: the solution when easy transducer removal from the boat is
desired. Generally, a suction cup bracket is used to attach either a high-speed or
puck style transducer to the rear of the boat. (see page 49)
