Installing the
Transducer mounting location
This type of mounting provides the best performance of all, since the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence neat the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a keel, the transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it. Typical through hull mountings are shown in the figure on the next page.
The performance of the video sounder is directly related to the mount- ing location of the transducer, especially for
??? Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat seri- ously degrade the sounding capability of the transducer. The trans- ducer should, therefore, be located in a position where water flow is the smoothest. Noise from the propellers also adversely affects performance and the transducer should not be mounted nearby. The lifting strakes are notorious for creating acoustic noise, and these must be avoided by keeping the transducer inboard of them.
???The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the boat is rolling, pitching or up on a plane at high speed.
???A practical choice would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of
the boat's length from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical loca- tion is generally rather far astern, so that the transducer is always in water regardless of the planing attitude.

1.With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location selected for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull.
2.If the hull is not level within 15?? in any direction, fairing blocks made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face parallel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown below and make the entire surface as smooth as possible to provide an un- disturbed flow of water around the transducer. The fairing block should be smaller than the transducer itself to provide a channel to divert turbulent water around the sides of the transducer rather than over its face.

3.Drill a hole just large enough to pass the threaded stuffing tube of the transducer through the hull, making sure it is drilled verti- cally.
4.Apply a sufficient amount of high quality caulking compound to the top surface of the transducer, around the threads of the stuff- ing tube and inside the mounting hole (and fairing blocks if used) to ensure watertight mounting.
5.Mount the transducer and fairing blocks and tighten the locking nuts. Be sure that the transducer is properly oriented and its work- ing face is parallel to the waterline.

Installing the transom mount transducer
This type of mounting is very commonly employed, usually on rela- tively small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat because turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer.
There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull (for deep
D

Figure
Installing the transom mount transducer flush with hull
(for flat hulls)
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the engine and where the water flow is smooth.
1.Drill four pilot holes in the mounting location.
2.Attach the transducer to the bracket with tapping screws (sup- plied).
3.Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to the seabed.
Note: If necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air bubbles staying on the transducer face, incline the transducer about 5?? at the rear. This may require a certain amount of experi- mentation for fine tuning at high cruising speeds.
4.Fill the gap between the wedge front of the transducer and tran- som with epoxy material to eliminate any air spaces.

Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thor- oughly with a detergent liquid soap. This will lessen the time neces- sary for the transducer to have good contact with the water. Otherwise the time required for complete "saturation" will be lengthened and performance will be reduced.
Do not paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.

4.Repeat step 1 to ensure that the angle of the sensor is correct.
Caution: Do not position the sensor farther into the water than necessary to avoid increasing drag, spray, and water noise and reducing boat speed.
5.Using the vertical adjustment space on the bracket slots, slide the sensor up or down to provide a projection of 3mm (1/8???). Tighten the screws (see Figure 6).
Attaching the Sensor to the Bracket
1.If the retaining cover near the top of the bracket is closed, open it by depressing the latch and rotating the cover downward
(see Figure 4).
2.Insert the sensor???s pivot arms into the slots near the top of the bracket.
3.Maintain pressure until the pivot arms click into place.
4.Rotate the sensor downward until the bottom snaps into the bracket.
5.Close the retaining cover to prevent the accidental release of the sensor when the boat is underway.
APPENDIX TRIDUCER
Cable Routing
Route the sensor cable over the transom, through a drain hole, or thorough a new hole drilled in the transom above the waterline.
Caution: Never cut the cable or remote the connector; this will void the warranty.
Warning: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1.If a hole must be drilled, choose a location well above the waterline. Check for obstructions such as trim tabs, pumps, or wiring inside the hull. Mark the location with a pencil. Drill a hole through the transom using a 19mm or 3/4??? bit (to accommodate the connector).
2.Route the cable over or through the transom.
3.On the outside of the hull secure the cable against the transom using the cable clamps. Position a cable clamp 50mm(2???) above the bracket and mark the mounting hole with a pencil (see Figure 6).
4.Position the second cable clamp halfway between the first clamp and the cable hole. Mark this mounting hole.
5.If a hole has been drilled in the transom, open the appropriate slot in the transom cable cover. Position the cover over the cable where it enters the hull. Mark the two mounting holes.
6.At each of the marked locations, use a 3mm or 1/8??? bit to drill a hole 10mm (3/8???) deep. The prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the bit 10mm (3/8???) from the point.
7.Apply marine sealant to the threads of the #6 x 1/2???
8.Position the two cable clamps and fasten them in place. If used, push the cable cover over the cable and screw it in place.
9.Route the cable to the instrument being careful not to tear the cable jacket when passing it though the bulkhead(s) and other parts of the boat. To reduce electrical interference, separate the sensor
cable from other electrical wiring and ???noise??? sources. Coil any excess cable and secure it in place with
