side of the surface.
This equipment should be installed by a qualified marine

Mounting Considerations
•
On a boat with more than a 5° deadrise angle, a fairing block
will need to be fabricated (not available for sale).
•
On a boat with a 12° deadrise angle, the transducer with a
fairing block can accommodate a hull up to 29 mm (1.15 in.)
thick.
•
On a boat with a 20° deadrise angle, the transducer with a
fairing block can accommodate a hull up to 19 mm (
3
/
4
in.)
thick.
•
On displacement hull vessels, the transducer should be
mounted near the centerline.
