1.3 Installation of Transducers Installing the inside-hull mount transducer Necessary tools You will need the following tools: • Sandpaper (#100) • Silicone sealant Remarks on installation • Do the installation with the boat hauled out of the water. • Turn off the engine while installing the equipment. • Install the transducer in the engine room. Selecting the mounting location Keep the following points in mind when selecting a mounting location: • The mounting location should be where the hull

Attaching the transducer 1. Clean the transducer face to remove any foreign material. Lightly roughen the transducer face with #100 sandpaper. Also, roughen the inside of the hull where the transducer is to be mounted. 2. Warm the silicone sealant to 40°C before usage to soften it. Coat the trans- ducer face and mounting location with silicone sealant. Transducer face Silicone sealant Figure 1-6 Coating the transducer face with silicone sealant 3.

Installing the thru-hull mount transducer Transducer mounting location This type of mounting provides the best performance of all, since the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence neat the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a keel, the transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it. Typical through hull mountings are shown in the figure on the next page. The performance of the video sounder is directly related to the mounting location of the trans

Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount transducer 1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location selected for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull. 2. If the hull is not level within 15° in any direction, fairing blocks made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face parallel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown below and make the entire surface as smooth as possible to prov

Installing the transom mount transducer This type of mounting is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat because turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer. There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull (for deep V-hulls).

Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If the boat is placed on a trailer care must be taken not to damage the transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water an

Triducer 524ST-MSD, 525ST-MSD The triducer is designed for thru-hull mounting. Mounting considerations When selecting a mounting location keep the following points in mind: • Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat seriously degrade the sounding capability of the transducer. The transducer should, therefore, be located in a position where water flow is the smoothest. Noise from the propel- lers also adversely affects performance and the transducer should not be mounted nearby.

1.4 Installation of Sensors Transom mount water temperature sensor T-02MTB • Fix the cable at a convenient location with cable clamp. • When the cable is led in through the transom board, make a hole of approx. 17 mm diameter to pass the connector. After passing the cable, fill the hole with a sealing compound. D D>50 cm M5 x 20 Mount sensor flush with hull bottom. Figure 1-20 How to install transom mount water temperature sensor T-02MTB 1-14
