4InstallationMounting the Transducer/Speed SensorIn-Hull Installation (continued)Installing the Transducer:1. Lightly sand the surface of the hull and face of the transducer with 400grit wet or dry sandpaper.2. Build a dam using strip caulk about 1/4” tall. Pour about 1/8” of 2-part,slow cure epoxy in the dam. Place the transducer in the epoxy, turningthe transducer to work out any air bubbles.3. Weight the transducer in place and allow to cure for 24 hours.Speed Sensor InstallationThe speed sensor should be mounted as near the center of the boatas possible. Like the transducer, for the speed sensor to operate properly,it should be located in non-turbulent water. Follow the directions in thespeed sensor installation instructions to assemble the speed sensor withthe mounting bracket, drill holes in the transom, mount the assembly androute the cable.Installing the TransducerOKAdjust the speed sensor so it is parallel with the bottomof the boat. If the speed sensor is not adjusted properly,the sonar may experience inaccurate or degraded speedreadings.Strip Caulk orRTV SealerSlow cure2-part epoxyApply twisting motionto eliminate anytrapped air bubblesWeight transducer in placefor at least 24 hoursDrill a 3/4” hole well above the water line.Coat the inside of the hole with Marine Sealant.Position Cable Clamps about one-third ofthe distance from the hole to the transducer.Drill 1/8” pilot holes 3/8” deep for the mounting screws.Coat the screws with Marine Sealant before installing them.www.reelschematic.comwww.reelschematic.com
