Default Re: Transducer Help

I have two Airmar mineral oil transducers in the bilge of my Mako. One is for my Furuno fcv600L and works excellent. The other is for my Garmin 188C GPS/Sounder combo unit and I have not had a chance to use it yet.

If memory serves me correctly, the directions said to mount them about 4-6 inches left or right of the center line (not on it) and about 1-2 feet from the transom.

I used Clear Lifeseal to adhere the ducers to the bilge. Unlike silicone, it is resistant to the mineral oil, it is also less brittle than epoxy and more forgiving than 5200 (if they ever needed to be moved or adjusted).

Good luck.

Ed
