Lowrance Elite-4x DSI Sonar and DSI Installation Manual - Page 6

Traditional Sonar transducer face is in contact with the hull. Also, make sure the cable is long enough to reach the sonar unit. To use shoot-thru-hull installation: 1. Sand the inside surface of the hull, where the transducer is to be epoxied, and the face of the transducer. Sand the hull until it is smooth to the touch. The sanded area should be about 1-1/2 times the diameter of the transducer. 2. After sanding, clean the hull and the face of the transducer with an alcohol wipe to remove any dust. 3. Apply a thin layer of epoxy (about 1-16" or 1.5 mm) on the face of the transducer and the sanded area on the hull. Be careful when mounting a transducer inside a boat hull. Once epoxied into position, the transducer can be very difficult to remove. Epoxy is available at www.lei-extras.com (Part No. 10698). Sand transducer face and mounting location Apply epoxy to transducer face and mounting location. 4. Press the transducer into the epoxy, turning it to force out any air bubbles from under the transducer face. Make sure there are no air pockets Epoxy Hull in the epoxy layers. 5. Stop pressing when it bottoms Epoxy transducer to hull. out on the hull. Apply pressure to hold the transducer in place while the epoxy sets. Be careful not to move the transducer while the epoxy is setting. Allow the epoxy to set before moving the boat. 6 0.TWEETY INSTALL_SONAR_DSI.indd 6 9/14/2011 11:55:32 PM
