transom mount transducer on aluminum boat

[Guillory]

Guys,

Im installing my first GPS and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to mounting the transducer to the transom of my boat? (Height, or anything that yall find works best) GPS is a Garmin 441S Boat is a 18 .5ft Custom Aluminum Hull 1/8 thick hull.

Thanks in advance

Once you get your placement correct, you can get a small piece of plastic cutting board and glue it to the hull then screw into that. (I used an epoxy based automotive panel bonding adhesive)

Do a search on MMT. They had a topic a while back with tons of ideas

Ok thanks guys

X2 on the starboard. Attach the starboard(cutting board) with 5100 adhesive. Much better than screwing into your hull.

im guessing i mount it about an inch above the bottom of the transom

I mounted mine about 1/4 - 1/2 inch above the bottom edge of the transom on my alum boat. You want the transducer to be in the water on plane. Read the directions with your transducer and mount the starboard so it gives you what you need without being below the edge of the transom. Make sure you let the adhesive set the recommended time. Don't rush it. Good luck and post up pics to show us how it turns out.
