2021-4-25 The one about Ducer installs

This week on Sundays With Sully we are talking ducer install tips. This time we are talking about side scan pair of transducers and what to look out for when mounting and how to make sure you do it correctly. Want to know more drop us a line and let us know how we can help you! What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Sundays with me, Sully. Thank you guys for tuning in. Be sure if you haven't already, to give us a like and a follow on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date with the latest marine tech trends and all the happenings in the marine industry. Give us a follow. We'll keep you up to date. We'll do our part. All right. That's out of the way. What are we talking about today? Today we are talking about transducers. Now, we've talked about transducers. We've talked about making sure you have a good placement for your transducer. If you are going to install a transducer, get it tested ahead of time. So you get that extra year warranty from Airmar. We've talked about all those kind of basics. So what are we talking about? We're really talking about side scan transducers, whether it's the Garmin or the Simrad version. Everybody's kind of getting into that, you know, side scan game and giving you a clear view, side view structure, scan, all those different things. Well, in order to do that, you can do a transom out transducer. That's the less preferred way. But if you've got a trailer boat or a smaller boat, it is a functional way to do it. We here personally have the best performance if it's mounted in a thru hull, that's we've got here. This is a Garmin GT style transducer and it comes with a fairing block. So what are we going to do with this fairing block? What we need to find out what the angle of our hull is. Port and Starboard, it's going to mirror, but port and starboard side. Everybody's got a smartphone. There's an angle finder on there. This thing doesn't have to be, you know, within a half degree. Put your phone up there, read the angle. It's going to say, you know, somewhere between ten and 20 degrees, more than likely for most people. And you're going to go ahead and you're going to run this thing through a band saw a table saw, you know, I don't know whatever sawing mechanism you have, you're going to go ahead and cut this at the angle. Now, before you do that, make sure take down and use a Sharpie, whatever it is. These are side specific. If you'll notice right here, there's a hole that is closer to the transducer hole itself. This is going to denote the front. You cut one wrong. Now you've gotta order it now you've gotta wait. Trust me. Just make sure. Think about it. Think about how it goes in the hull where the curve is going to be. Make sure you're cutting this fairing block correctly. And yes, you need to use a fairing block. And yes, when you cut this very block, use this side. That will be the top side inside the boat to drive down your nut and your your all your hardware and everything on there. That gives you more bonding area, more surface. So little tip right there. So now we've talked about cutting the fairing block and getting it all prepped to be installed. . You don't want a ton of play in here because again, this is in the water, right? We want to keep as much water out and not be relying on the sealant to do everything here. But once you drive this up in there, put your nut down here. Then you going to put your nut here in here, you literally have to walk this transducer up. So you go in and you get into the boat. You think you've got it all good. You feel like it's got all nice and snug. You go outside to check the gush out from the 5200 C complex, whatever it is you're using. And you realize that, gee, there's still a quarter or an eighth or an inch of a gap in there. That's because you didn't drive it up properly. So you don't want to just start driving this one home and then drive this wrong. It's really going to start creating problems and you risk stripping this thing out. So make sure you're paying attention when you do it. The other thing, lastly, we talked about this. There is a port and a starboard to this and there is a bow. These things are directional, so make sure you're paying attention to that when you're doing this. These are great. A lot of technology. You can see a lot of stuff you can do bottom mapping into all kinds of great stuff, but it's going to be a fail out of the box. If you don't set it up right, you don't install it right. so that's it.
