Installing the Transducer without a Fairing Block It is recommended that two installers complete these instructions, with one positioned outside the boat and one inside the boat. NOTE: When installing a transducer in a non-cored fiberglass hull, avoid over-tightening the nuts to prevent damaging the hull. 1 Apply marine sealant to the base of the transducer stem , anti-rotation bolt , and the sides of the transducer plate that must contact the hull. Drilling the Transducer Stem Hole and the Anti-Rotation Bolt Hole in a Metal Hull You should follow these instructions when you are using a fairing block to mount the transducer on a boat that has a metal hull. 1 Select a mounting location without surface irregularities or obstructions. 2 Using the template, mark the location of the stem hole and anti-rotation bolt. 3 Drill a 3 mm (1/8 in.) pilot hole through the hull at the stem hole location, from outside the hole. The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface. 4 Using a 38 mm (1 1/ 2 in.) hole saw, cut the stem hole from outside the hull. The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface. 5 While holding a drill with a 13 mm (1/2 in.) bit plumb, drill the anti-rotation bolt hole through the hull from outside the hull. 6 Sand and clean the area around the holes. Applying Marine Sealant to a Thru-Hull Transducer You must apply marine sealant to the transducer to ensure a tight, waterproof seal between the fairing block and the hull. Do not apply sealant directly to the stem or anti-rotation bolt. Apply marine sealant around the base of the stem and anti-rotation bolt on the transducer. 2 From outside the hull, insert the transducer through the mounting hole and seat it firmly against the hull. 3 From inside the hull, apply the included anti-seize compound to the exposed transducer stem and anti-rotation bolt. 4 From inside the hull, use slip-joint pliers or a crescent wrench to secure the included 46 mm hull nut , nylon washer , and rubber washer to the transducer stem. Do not over-tighten the hull nut. 5 From inside the hull, use slip-joint pliers or a crescent wrench to secure the included M8 nut and 8 mm nylon washer to the anti-rotation bolt. Do not over-tighten the M8 nut. 6 Before the sealant hardens, remove all excess sealant on the outside of the exterior hull to ensure smooth water flow over the transducer.

Installing the Transducer without a Fairing Block
It is recommended that two installers complete these
instructions, with one positioned outside the boat and one inside
the boat.
NOTE:
When installing a transducer in a non-cored fiberglass
hull, avoid over-tightening the nuts to prevent damaging the hull.
1
Apply marine sealant to the base of the transducer stem
,
anti-rotation bolt
, and the sides of the transducer plate
that must contact the hull.
2
From outside the hull, insert the transducer through the
mounting hole and seat it firmly against the hull.
3
From inside the hull, apply the included anti-seize compound
to the exposed transducer stem and anti-rotation bolt.
4
From inside the hull, use slip-joint pliers or a crescent wrench
to secure the included 46 mm hull nut
, nylon washer
,
and rubber washer
to the transducer stem.
Do not over-tighten the hull nut.
5
From inside the hull, use slip-joint pliers or a crescent wrench
to secure the included M8 nut
and 8 mm nylon washer
to the anti-rotation bolt.
Do not over-tighten the M8 nut.
6
Before the sealant hardens, remove all excess sealant on the
outside of the exterior hull to ensure smooth water flow over
the transducer.

If the deadrise angle of your mounting location exceeds 5°, you
should use a fairing block to mount the device.
Drilling the Transducer Stem Hole and the Anti-Rotation
Bolt Hole in a Metal Hull
You should follow these instructions when you are using a
fairing block to mount the transducer on a boat that has a metal
hull.
1
Select a mounting location without surface irregularities or
obstructions.
2
Using the template, mark the location of the stem hole and
anti-rotation bolt.
3
Drill a 3 mm (

in.) pilot hole through the hull at the stem
hole location, from outside the hole.
The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.

in.) hole saw, cut the stem hole from
outside the hull.
The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.
5
While holding a drill with a 13 mm (1/2 in.) bit plumb, drill the
anti-rotation bolt hole through the hull from outside the hull.
6
Sand and clean the area around the holes.
Applying Marine Sealant to a Thru-Hull Transducer
You must apply marine sealant to the transducer to ensure a
tight, waterproof seal between the fairing block and the hull. Do
not apply sealant directly to the stem or anti-rotation bolt.
Apply marine sealant
around the base of the stem and
anti-rotation bolt on the transducer.
Installing the Transducer with a Fairing Block and Bushings
It is recommended that two installers complete these
instructions, with one positioned outside the boat and one inside
the boat.
1
Secure the bushings
to the anti-rotation bolt
and
transducer stem
.
