1. Using the supplied Scotch-Brite® pad, remove any paint, dirt or coatings on the
aluminum. You MUST be down to the bare aluminum and the surface must be dry.
Wipe off all loose dust and dirt.
2. Using the supplied alcohol swab, wipe clean any dust or dirt you created from
the target area on the hull and the face of the transducer. Use additional cleanup
measures if required. Dry the area with a clean paper towel or rag.
3. Set the transducer in the prepared area and place
the four supplied foam positioning pads around the
transducer as shown. This will keep the transducer
from moving once the transducer has been
positioned.
4. Using the pre-measured packet, mix both elements of
the A.C.E. adhesive together, following the directions
on the packet. Once thoroughly mixed, you have
about 10 minutes to apply this special
A.C.E. Adhesive. (Accoustically Conductive Epoxy)
5. Remove transducer from the target spot. Apply the mixture to the transducer NOT
the boat. Be sure to use all the Epoxy in the packet.
6. Now, simply press the transducer back into the prepared area. Twist it slightly
back and forth several times. This is done to make sure no air pockets remain
under the transducer.
The special A.C.E. Adhesive will set
in about 30 minutes. Try not to move
the boat around during this period.
The foam pads you placed around
the transducer keep it from drifting
from the spot you have selected while
the adhesive cures overnight. Do not
turn your sonar “on” for 12 hours to
ensure a solid connection between the
transducer and the aluminum hull.
IMPORTANT : The hull temperature should be at least 60° F for proper curing of the A.C.E.
adhesive.
