First find a location on the boat's transom where the water flow is

smoothest. Don't mount the sensor behind strakes or ribs. These will

disturb the water flow to the speed sensor. Make sure the sensor will

remain in the water when the boat is on plane. Also make sure the lo-

cation doesn't interfere with the boat's trailer. Typically, the sensor is

mounted about one foot to the side of the transom's centerline.
Once you've determined the proper location for the unit, place the sen-

sor on the transom. The bottom of the bracket should be flush with the

hull's bottom. Using the sensor as a template, mark the hull for the

screws' pilot holes. Drill four 1/8" holes, one in each end of the slots.
Mount the sensor to the hull using #8 stainless steel wood screws (not
included). Use a high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline

caulking compound to seal the screws. Make sure the sensor is flush

with the bottom of the hull and tighten the screws.
