5. Apply a 1/8" thick layer of sealant around the lip of the plastic or bronze housing. A thin layer should also be applied up the sidewalls to a height of 1/4" greater than the hull thickness. This will ensure there is sealant material in the threads to seal them, and hold the housing nut securely in place. 6. From the outside of the hull, push the housing (with sealant applied) into the drilled hole. Apply a twisting motion to the housing to squeeze out excess sealant. GASKET (OR RUBBER) HULL SEALANT 7. Put the nut on the transducer from the inside of the hull. If nylon, hand tighten only. 8. Clean off any excess sealant from around the transducer. STEM-TYPE (POWER BOAT BRONZE) TRANSDUCERS The stem-type transducer is popular as a replacement transducer since it was the primary style used on older boats. The stem will fit the same size hole as a previously defective or obsolete transducer. Also, if your hull has a steep dead rise, the stem-type transducer will be best suited for your application. However, because of the smaller diameter shaft going through the hull, a fairing block should be used so that the transducer can be oriented straight up and down. Fairing blocks are best made out of hard wood such as oak. The shape of the block will be determined by the shape of your hull and the style of transducer you choose. 10
