consult the boat manufacturer. In a shoot-thru-hull installation the transducer is epoxied to the
inside of the boat hull.
WARNING:
Do not remove any material from the inner hull. Careless grinding or cutting
on the hull could damage the integrity of the hull. Contact the boat dealer or manufacturer to
confirm hull specifications.
