I am installing a shoot through transducer on my 1999 214 Candia. Any suggestions on the best spot to install this? |

There is a procedure to test for the best location. The transducer manufacturer should have these with the installation notes. It involves putting the td in a baggie full of water and sealing this setup against the hull with a popular water soluble lubricant. You can then try different locations. Look on the Airmar site for good info. I have been using this type of transducer for several years and they do work. Greg |

As gregs stated the transducer should have come with instructions. I installed one on my last boat. Filled a large ziplock back with water and put a brink on top so it stayed in place while moving. Once I found the spot where it worked at all speeds I marked it, went home and glued it down per the instructions. Was pretty easy besides bing in a hard to reach spot, plus worked well for me. BTW some areas of the hull might have air bubbles causing erratic or not readings. But if you find a spot bubble free your good to go and never have to worry about knocking it off or drilling into the hull.... |
