What side of a boat do you mount a transducer?

starboard side
DETERMINE THE TRANSDUCER MOUNTING ANGLE The general rule of thumb is to mount the transducer to the starboard side, which is the down stroke of most single outboard boat propellers (right hand lower unit).

How do you secure a transducer cable to the hull?

Secure the cable to the hull at regular intervals using cable P clips or saddles and ensure that moving parts such as an outboard motor or boarding ladder can’t snag the cable. Page 12 If performance does not improve with tilting, try adjusting the height of the transducer relative to the transom of the boat.

How do you remove the slide from a transom Mount?

Page 5 Removing the transom slide mount The slide can be removed from the DSI transducer by depressing the release tab with a flathead screw- driver and sliding off the transom slide mount. The HDI 83/200kHz transom slide mount is removed by carefully pulling out slide mount and then pulling down on the slide mount.
