Does this unit require holes to be drilled in the transom? How do you mount the transducer in an aluminum boat?

I made mine portable by attaching to a 3 foot 1x1 board and clamp it to front or side or back of John boat,and fastened rod holder to top of pole.also works on my canoe by clamping 2x4 across canoe and stick over edge enough to clamp transducer pole and trolling motor,easy to adjust even works on rental at park and friends pontoon by to short board to clamp on deck.Will send pic if send email

The best Way Is Drill Holes Through TransOn According To Holes On The Transducer. But BeforE Locking Down The Bolts Add Silacone To Preventing Leaks.

Depends. If you are mounting on the transom then yes. However it comes with a mounting kit for the trolling motor as well. Plus you can always mount inside the hull using epoxy. The downside to that is the water temp gauge will not work.

I mounted mine using two part clear epoxy to the inside of my hull to read through the hull and it works great. Just don't have accurate water temp. If you are mounting on the transom, use 3M 5200 fast cure sealant.

yes, find a way to hang the transducer over the side, make sure its parallel with the bottom. use a small 12V 7AH SLA battery to power it up and go Fishing.

according to the literature that came with the unit, you can order a trolling motor mount for the transducer that comes with the unit. try www.humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more info.

It has a transducer but i'm not sure if it will register through the hull. Mine is attached to the outside of the boat. Not sure if Garmin has any more details if it can. Sorry I can't help further but I can tell you the unit has held up nicely for the year i have had it.

I have my transducer mounted on the transom of my 24' center console with an outboard engine. I start to lose the bottom when I get in the upper teens MPH which is very frustrating. I believe that my transducer is getting some interference to the water flow and will try to reposition it.

Yes. My unit came with a transom mount transducer. The cable was plenty long enough to mount it and run to my helm. I mounted mine on top of my console but there is still enough cable if i wanted to go to my electronix box on the ttop. Lowrance is awesome. Hope this helps. Fair winds!

Mark, I mounted my transducer inside the hull of a kayak. There are many good resources on U Tube explaining this method. You just have to make sure there are no air bubbles in the adhesive.

The transducer that comes with the unit should be okay to us on a trolling motor. You will need a mount for a trolling motor, though.

Yes, the one I ordered from Amazon had the transducer included. However on the box is said it was not included but it was in the box. And all works VERY nicely.

You keep it in the water so it is just 1mm below the bottom of the boat hull. You can also use an adhesive and go through hull with the transducer in the middle of your boat bottom. Very versatile

Herb, this product is fine for it's intended use. Apparently you thought it included sonar. So, assuming you get a sonar, this is my experience: My old Coastal Navigator transom mount transducer, with some persuasion, fit inside a PVC coupler. Shaped to the hull and attached with GOOP and then filled with mineral spirits (as I recall), it worked just as well as when mounted outside the hull. Wire runs down thru the coupler cap and is sealed.

Yes. However, check the pivot bolt/nut before you install it on your boat. I received a defective nylock type nut that seized on the bolt. I did not cross thread it....it simply seized on the bolt and could not be removed no matter how much I cranked on it with a wrench. I had to hack saw the mount off my boat. In summary: test the bolt/nut first to ensure it doesn't seize before you mount the transducer.

Where will u be installing the transducer that the transom mount will not work

Not sure where you purchased your unit, but most likely it is a transom or trolling motor mount only. The Humminbird Web site has transducers that will work thru hull. I have mine mounted on the trolling motor. If you use both, you will need a 'Y' cable to connect them to your unit.

When I received mine it was a transom mount transducer. Works great iv had mine for almost a year with no issues and I installed everything myself

Yes, this does include the transducer, it also includes a GPS antenna, mounting bracket, and all wiring needed to hook this unit up. The length of the transducer cable is measured at 20ft.
