3 LOCATION OF THE TRANSDUCER

Correct positioning of the depth sounder transducer is of prime importance for the
accuracy of the reading. The transducer should be located on an area of the hull that will be under
water at all times and free from bubbles of turbulence caused by the keel or the propeller.
Avoid fitting the transducer near the edge of sharp hull chines. Transverse waterflow in these
areas may be turbulent and thus will affect the measurements.
Although the transducer sends out a signal at various angles, the transducer should be installed
as vertically as possible. For this reason, a location close to the centreline is preferred.
If you have questions about the location of the transducer, contact your builder, yacht dealer, or
other sailors with similar boats for advice. Always remember to allow for accessibility from the
inside of the yacht when determining the final location!
