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
