Transducer mounting
Read the following mounting procedure before attempting to mount the transducer.
Transducer mountingStainless steel transducers are suitable for installations on vessels with fiberglass, metal or wooden hulls.
You must use ALL of the supplied parts when installing the transducer.
When installing the transducer on a vessel that has a metal hull, the supplied isolator parts ensure that the transducer metalwork is fully isolated from the metal hull, to prevent galvanic corrosion. Following installation, it’s important to clean the transducer regularly and carefully, to ensure that there is no growth or attached material bridging the gap between the metal part of the transducer and the metal hull, compromising the isolation.
Do NOT install stainless steel transducers on vessels with a positive ground system.
Only perform the installation with your vessel out of the water.
Do NOT lift or suspend the transducer using its cable.
Ensure that the transducer body is supported during installation.
Do NOT remove the label attached to the transducer cable, as it helps to ensure correct connection.
Do NOT overtighten the hull nut or anti-rotation bolt. Overtightening can cause damage to the hull, which may result in water leaking into the vessel.
