For trolling motor installation, two straps are required and are not included with the Transducer Shield.  Heavy Duty Stainless Steel, Black Powder Coated straps are available @ $5.95 each.

WARNING:  Due to the size of the transducer and Transducer Shield, when installed on a trolling motor, additional components may be required for a better fit on the trolling motor. If your trolling motor has the skeg at the front you will need a Ram Rail Kit @ $150.00 in addition to the Transducer Shield.  Please call for assistance.

Item # TM-H-8.3 along with additional accessories can easily be bolted to an L Bracket for installation on the side of a Jack Plate OR on a Wedges for installation on a hole shot plate under a Jack Plate (if a hole shot plate is present) OR on a Wedge for installation on the Set Back under the boat.  For more information please go to L Brackets and/or Wedges.

NOTE:  When the transducer is attached to a Set Back, Hole Shot Plate or the side of a Jack Plate, it will not track the bottom when up on plane because the transducer is out of the water.  For bottom reading on plane, a transducer inside the hull will be required.

It is very important that you complete the questionnaire when ordering this item.  The information you provide will help us to assist you better and avoid a delay in shipping your order.

Our Armor Plates are designed to protect the transducer from side to side as well as front and back impact. They are designed as an added attachment to our SBB-5 Spring Back Bracket for all around transducer protection. The transducer is large and heavy and we highly recommend adding a Spring Back Bracket to your order.   If an Armor Plate breaks that has been attached to the boat without a Spring Back Bracket it has no warranty whatsoever.

If the Armor Plate is installed anywhere other than on the transom, for example on the set back wall, some shimming may be required if the transducer angle needs to be adjusted. If you know that you are installing the Armor Plate on a 90° surface, please tell us in the comment area when placing your order.    WARNING:  We do not recommend the Spring Back Bracket and Armor Plate on the set back wall.  It could reduce the flow of water to the engine.

The post AP-H-8.3 to fit Humminbird G3N SI+DI# XM 9 HW MSI T or G2N SI+DI #XM 14 HW MSI T first appeared on Transducer Shield and Saver.

CMC jack plates are ridged or flat and have large bolt heads protruding out from the jack plate surface. This is why the L Bracket should include 1″ or 1.5″ spacers. Depending on the jack plate (usually manual) height position, the ratchet bolt might hang below the bottom of the jack plate  If this applies to your jack plate, it may be necessary to lower the transducer to avoid side signal interference. To do this, simply add an EXTENSION between the L Bracket and Transducer Shield.             

A transducer cannot be attached to any of our L Brackets without a Transducer Shield®.  When placing your order for this product, please remember to choose the appropriate Transducer Shield® to match your transducer.                        

To avoid a delay in shipping your order, please complete the questionnaire. The more information you provide the better we can assist you.

IMPORTANT:  On Skeeter ZX or FX  boats, the hull turning chines interfere with the side viewing signal. To help correct this problem it is necessary to add an extension between the L Bracket and Transducer Shield®. Please remember to add an Extension to your order.   Click on Extensions to add an extension to your order.

Typically, a “Side Image” transducer attached to an L Bracket on the side of a jack plate will not track the bottom when the boat is up on plane.  To track the bottom when up on plane, an “in hull” transducer is recommended.

Installing Your Transducer Correctly is Important.  Contact us if you need further assistance.

The post LB-CMC-5/5-8 to fit 5.5 to 8″ CMC Jack Plate first appeared on Transducer Shield and Saver.

It is pre-drilled to match the hole pattern on our L Brackets and Transducers Shields for easy install.

When placing an order for an extension, please remember to order a Transducer Shield® and L Bracket to suit your transducer and jack plate.

The post EXT-3.0 Extension first appeared on Transducer Shield and Saver.

An extension is necessary on most Skeeter ZX model boats to lower the level of the transducer, so that the transducer side signal clears the hull sponsons and/or turning chines.

An extension is also required on some jack plates that were installed on Bass Cat boats.  Reason:  the jack plate is longer and installed with 6 bolts to the transom rather than 4 bolts.

When placing an order for an extension, please remember to order a Transducer Shield® and L. Bracket to suit your transducer and jack plate.
