Traditional Sonar A. Select a transducer location To function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the water at all times and in a location that has a smooth flow of water when the boat is moving. If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference caused by bubbles and turbulence may show on-screen as random lines or dots. The unit also could lose bottom signal when the boat is on plane. NOTE: Mount the transducer at least one foot away from the engine lower unit. B. Aligning Ratchets on bracket You will use the ratchets to ensure the transducer is installed parallel to the ground. 1. Insert the ratchets in the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the dot stamped on the outside of the transducer bracket. 2 Good locations Too high Poor angle Poor locations 2.
