Pod Transducer Installation Instructions

The following instructions explain how to install a Pod transducer inside a hull or on a trolling

motor. Read the following instructions carefully before attempting any installation. Use

extreme care when mounting a transducer inside a boat hull. Once epoxied into position, the

transducer can be very difcult to remove.

Note: Transducer location and installation is one of the most critical steps in sonar

installation.

Pod Transducer shoot-thru-hull installation

Before attempting any installation on boats with otation material sandwiched within the hull,

consult the boat manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not remove any material from the inner hull. Careless grinding or cutting

could damage the integrity of the hull. Contact the boat dealer or manufacturer to conrm hull

specications.

A transducer can not shoot through wood or metal hulls. Wood and metal hulls require either

a transom mount or “thru-hull” installation. For shoot-thru-hull applications many boat hulls

have a at keel pad that offers a good transducer mounting surface.

Note: The previous image shows a Pod transducer epoxied to a at, solid portion of the boat

hull near the transom. The transducer should be installed as close to the transom as possible,

close to the center line.

Before you epoxy the transducer to the hull, make sure the area is clean, dry and free of oil or

grease. The surface of the hull must be at so the entire transducer face is in contact with the

hull. Also, make sure the cable is long enough to reach the sonar unit before the transducer is

epoxied into place.
