Transom Mount - Side Imaging®
Overview
If you will be installing a Side Imaging® transom mounted transducer, use
the procedures in this section. There are two pieces to the transducer mount
assembly: the pivot, and the bracket. Your transducer comes with a two-piece
metal and plastic bracket assembly. There are several procedures you will have
to perform in order to install a transom-mounted transducer. They are:
Determine transducer mounting location
Mount the bracket to the boat
Attach the pivot to the transducer
Mount the transducer pivot assembly to the bracket
Adjust the running position of the transducer
Route the transducer cable
Perform a final test of the transom transducer installation
1. Locating the transducer mounting location
NOTE: If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or
cavitation noise, trolling motor installation may be an option. See Trolling Motor
Transducer Installation for more information.
1. First, determine the best location on the transom to install the
transducer. Consider the following to find the best location:
It is very important tolocate the transducer in an area which is relatively
free of turbulent water. As a boat moves through the water, turbulence
is generated by the weight of the boat, and the thrust of the propeller(s)
- either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This turbulent water is normally
confined to areas immediately aft of ribs, strakes or rows of rivets onthe
bottom of the boat, and in the immediate area of the propeller(s).
Clockwise propellers create more turbulence on the port side. On
outboard or inboard/outboard boats, it is best to locate the transducer
at least 15" (380 mm) to the side of the propeller(s).
The best way to locate turbulence-free water is to view the transom
while the boat is moving. This method is recommended if maximum
high-speed operation is a high priority. If this is not possible, select a
location on the transom where the hull forward of this location is
smooth, flat and free of protrusions or ribs.
