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.

To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these
testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.)

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 sen-
sitivity and range controls until a second bottom echo is seen on the dis-
play. (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 bot-
tom signal.) Don't touch the controls once they've been set.
