    Dragon Tail - Transducer Mount

    This tip submitted by Ken Cave





    The picture shows the mounting of my Horizon DSTS51 Transducer located in front of the rudder. It is easy to mount and replace if needed, even in the water, as it connects to a bracket that is mounted on the keel. The wires to the depth sounder are mounted beside the rudder which enters into the cowl vent at the rear of the boat. From there it is a simple procedure to get them to the depth sounder without drilling a lot of holes, etc. As I keep my boat in the water all year round, I usually clean the bottom Of the unit with a plastic-scrubbing pad when I head out on a trip. So far the unit has worked well in this location.
