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.
