TRANSDUCER MOUNTING
The suction cup bracket assembly is designed to be
mounted on the side of a canoe or kayak. However, it can
also be attached to the transom (back) of a normal fishing
boat.
Wet the suction cup and press the assembly onto the
surface of the hull in the area where you are going the attach
it. Slide the assembly up or down until the transducer is
completely in the water. You may want to bend the
bracket so that the transducer is not pointing off at an angle.
Ideally, it should point straight down when your boat is
normally loaded.
Tie the end of the safety rope to the boat. Leave as
little slack in the rope as you can. If the suction cup lets
loose, the rope can save your transducer and depth sounder
from being lost.
If you’ll be mounting to a flat
transom and you wish to get clear
readings while the boat is moving at
faster speeds, you may want to
purchase the optional Tri-Cup
bracket (part# BK0061) shown in figure 13.
IN-HULL MOUNTING
This method, gluing the transducer to the hull, gets sim-
ilar results as if you were mounting the transducer exter-
nally, only there is no transducer on the outside of the boat
to get damaged by impact or tangled in weeds or fishing
line. This method works well for most types of single layer
