Transducer location and installation is one of the most critical steps in sonar instal-
lation.
1. Select a transducer location
To function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the water at all times and in a
location that has a smooth ow of water when the boat is moving.
If the transducer is not placed in a smooth ow of water, interference caused by
bubbles and turbulence may show on-screen in the form of random lines or dots.
The unit also could lose bottom signal when the boat is on plane.

Do not mount the transducer
closer than approximately one
foot from the engine’s lower
unit. This will prevent cavitation
interference from the prop.
When mounting the transducer, make sure it does not interfere with the haul-
ing of the boat.
Skimmer Transducer installation instructions
Aluminum boats with strakes or ribs on the hull can create large amounts of
turbulence at higher speeds. A good transducer location on these types of
boats is between the ribs closest to the engine.
