Installation
Mounting options
The transducer can be mounted on the transom, jackplate, or step.
Use the following table to determine which mounting option is
best suited to your boat/installation preferences.
ÚNote: Before drilling any holes, ensure that holes are drilled in a
safe position. Ensure you do not drill into tanks, reservoirs,
hoses, or cables, etc. and that the holes will not weaken the
structure in any way.
ÚNote: When mounting the transducer, make sure there is
nothing around the mounting location that could interfere with
its sonar beams.
ÚNote: If mounting where the transducer comes out of the
water, for example when the boat is on plane, the sonar will not
work while the transducer is out of the water.

The transducer can be mounted to the transom or step with the
transom bracket. With these mounting options the transducer can

be in the water when you are on plane, or can be mounted so it is
only in the water when you are moving at trolling speed.
Transom and Step mount (fiberglass) supplies (not
included)
3 mm (1/8”) Drill bit (Transom
mount pilot holes)
Marine high-grade above- or
below-waterline sealant/
adhesive compound
Transom mount (aluminum hull) supplies (not included)
M4 Machine Screws Marine high-grade above- or
below-waterline sealant/
adhesive compound
Plastic isolating material such as King Starboard (prevents
corrosion between bracket and aluminum hull)
To mount on transom or step using the transom
bracket
1. Snap the plug to the bracket (A)
2. Attach the bracket and name tag insert to the transducer using
the supplied screws (B)
3. Loosely attach the bracket with the transducer to the transom
mounting plate using the supplied bracket assembly bolt,
washer (closest to the screw head), rubber spring washer and
nylon lock nut (C)
4. Hold the whole assembly up against the transom or transom
step to the desired position. If mounting on the transom, align
the bottom of the transducer with the bottom of boat. Use a
pencil to mark the pilot holes (D). The transom mounting plate
has screw slots for adjusting the transducer position height.
5. Drill the pilot holes
6. Apply a marine high-grade above- or below-waterline sealant/
adhesive compound to the pilot holes
7. Disconnect the transom mounting plate from the transducer
bracket
8. Screw the transom mounting plate to the transom using the
supplied screws and flat washers (E)

9. Run the transducer cable up through the grommet on the
mounting bracket (F)
10. Reattach the transducer bracket to the transom mounting plate
(G)
11. Set the transducer to the desired angle and tighten the bracket
assembly bolt (with washers) and nylon lock nut
12. Snap the cable cover into place (H). If needed, you can remove
the cable cover by inserting a flat head screw driver along the
curved edge and pry the clip loose on both sides, one side at a
time.
13. Route the cable to the display and connect it to the sonar port.
After the transducer is connected and your boat is in the water, turn
on the Flip Left/Right feature on your display to ensure what is
shown on the left and right side on your display corresponds with
what is on the left and right side of your boat. Refer to your display's
Operation manual for more information.

ÚNote: Do not install the transducer under the hull.
You can mount the transducer in either direction; with the cable
coming out towards or away from the transom when installing with
the direct step (Flush bracket) mount.
ÚNote: Sonar does not track bottom when the transducer is out
of the water.

To direct step mount using flush bracket
1. Make sure the boat’s step is the same length or longer than the
transducer.
2. After selecting a mounting location, route the transducer cable
to the location where the display will be installed.
3. Attach the transducer to the surface bracket and hold in the
desired position. Use a pencil to mark pilot holes through the
mounting holes on the surface bracket.
4. Drill the pilot holes.
5. Apply a marine high-grade above- or below-waterline sealant/
adhesive compound to the pilot holes.
6. Align the transducer mounting holes over the pilot holes and
mount the transducer to the step using self-tapping metal
screws (not supplied). Do NOT overtighten the screws;
otherwise you could strip out the fiberglass pilot holes or crack
the mounting holes on the transducer.
7. Connect the transducer cable to the display sonar port.
After the transducer is connected and your boat is in the water, turn
on the Flip Left/Right feature in your display unit to ensure what is
shown on the left and right side on your display corresponds with
what is on the left and right side of your boat. Refer to your display
unit's Operation manual for more information.
Jackplate mount (Transom bracket)
12 Installation | TotalScan Transducer User Manual

ÚNote: Jackplate mount requires the separately sold
'StructureScan 3D, StructureScan HD & TotalScan Skimmer
Transom mount kit' (part no. 000-12603-001).
The transducer transom bracket can be mounted inside or outside
of the jackplate by drilling through the jackplate and then running
bolts through the hinge hole in the side of the bracket into the
jackplate. The illustration above shows the transom bracket
mounted inside the jackplate.
ÚNote: Sonar does not track bottom when the transducer is out
of the water.
Jackplate mount supplies (not included)
6 mm (1/4”) Drill bit (Jackplate
Mount)
M6 (1/4”) jackplate mount bolts
Warning: Before installing the transducer on the
jackplate, lower the jackplate to its lowest setting to
make sure there is enough clearance between the
jackplate, engine, transom, and the transducer. Lack of
clearance could damage the transducer when the
engine is all the way down.
To mount transducer on jackplate using transom bracket
1. Choose a transducer location on the inside or outside of the
jackplate.
2. Adjust the jackplate up and down to make sure the transducer
will not obstruct jackplate movement.
3. Make sure nothing blocks the sonar beam on either side of the
transducer.
4. Route the transducer cable to the location where the display
will be installed.
5. Move the transducer bracket into the desired position and use a
pencil to mark the holes through the hinge hole and hole in the
side of the bracket.
6. Using a 6mm or equivalent drill bit, drill the holes into the
jackplate.
7. Slide the bracket inside the jackplate and align the bracket holes
with holes you drilled in the jackplate.
Installation | TotalScan Transducer User Manual 13

8. Slide M6 bolts with washers into each hole on the side of
jackplate.
9. Guide the bolts through the Transducer mounting bracket
holes.
10. Place a washer over the end of the bolts and tighten the nuts.
11. Connect the transducer cable to the display sonar port.
After the transducer is connected and your boat is in the water, turn
on the Flip Left/Right feature in your display unit to ensure what is
shown on the left and right side on your display corresponds with
what is on the left and right side of your boat. Refer to your display
unit's Operation manual for more information.
