sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. Any air bubbles in the

fiberglass or the epoxy will reduce or eliminate the sonar signals.
Testing Determines Best Location
Ideally, the shoot-thru transducer should be installed as close to the

transom as possible, close to the centerline. This will give you the best

performance during high speed maneuvers.

Shoot-thru-hull transducer locations for

high speed or trolling speed operation.

1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water. Add a little water to the sump

of the boat. Plug the transducer into the sonar unit, turn it on, then hold

the transducer over the side of the boat in the water. Adjust the sensitiv-

ity and range controls until a second bottom echo is seen on the display.
(You'll need to turn off Auto Sensitivity, Auto Depth Range and ASP

.

Try a range setting that is two to three times the water depth. The harder

(more rocky) the bottom, the easier it will be to get a second bottom sig-

nal.) Don't touch the controls once they've been set.
