Left, vee pad hull; right, vee hull. A pod style transducer is shown

here, but the principle is the same for Skimmers inside a hull.

4. If the transducer is mounted on the transom, make sure it doesn't

interfere with the trailer or hauling of the boat. Also, don't mount it

closer than approximately one foot from the engine's lower unit. This

will prevent cavitation (bubble) interference with propeller operation.
5. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the

boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps and aerators can

be displayed on the sonar's screen. Use caution when routing the trans-

ducer cable around these wires.

CAUTION: Clamp the trans-
ducer cable to transom near
the transducer. This will help
prevent the transducer from
entering the boat if it is
knocked off at high speed.
