1: Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. When the transducer and bracket are properly aligned mark its position on the hull. 2: Drill the mounting holes for the transducer bracket. For the onepiece bracket use a #29 bit (for the #10 screws). For the two-piece bracket use a #20 bit (for the #12 screws). Note: Use the provided screws to secure the transducer assembly to the transom. Be sure to use a below-waterline marine grade sealant on all of the transducer bracket screw holes. When mounting a Skimmer transducer to a boat with a veehull, make sure the transducer center line is aligned to the bottom of the boat hull, as shown here. Water line Clamp the transducer cable to the transom near the transducer. This will help keep the cable secure. If you drill a hole in the transom for the transducer cable, make sure it is located above the waterline. Seal the hole with an above- or belowwaterline marine grade sealant. 20
