Mounting Options for Side Imaging Transducers

What are the mounting options for the various Side Imaging transducers?

There are three mounting options for the side imaging transducer. They are: transom-mount (this transducer comes standard with all Side Imaging units); trolling motor mount (adapters to allow the transom mount transducer to be mounted to the trolling motor are sold separately); plastic thru-hull transducer (offered as an optional accessory).

Note: Bronze transducer mounting options are not recommended for Aluminum or Steel Hull boats. 

Note: Plastic transducer mounting options are recommended for wooden boats.

For full details on installing a transducer on your transom, watch the following video:

Below are some images of various transom mounts on aluminum boats, fiberglass boats, pontoon boats, inflatable boats and search and rescue boats.  Just click the image for a larger view of the install.  You can also check out this video of an installation of the High Definition SI transducer being completed on a Tidewater 2200.  Please keep in mind that these images are strictly for reference purposes.  Location of the installation is dependent on boat type and size.
