Transom-mounted depth sounder bracket

The Garmin transom transducer mount (reference 010-13070-00) is an accessory designed to securely attach a depth and temperature transducer to a boat's transom. It allows the transducer to be optimally positioned for reliable sonar data collection.

This mount is used to stably install and secure a transducer on your vessel's transom. It is essential to ensure the transducer is correctly submerged and oriented, minimizing turbulence and ensuring the best possible clarity of the sonar signal for detecting the seabed and fish.

The Garmin transom transducer mount has a weight of 0.13 kg, making it lightweight and easy to handle during installation.

No, this product is only the mounting bracket for the transducer. The transducer itself is sold separately and must be acquired based on your needs and compatibility with your Garmin device.

Yes, this mount is designed by Garmin for marine use. It is manufactured with suitable materials to withstand typical freshwater and saltwater conditions, including UV exposure and salt spray.

Yes, the mounting bracket kit is typically supplied with the basic hardware required to attach the bracket to your boat's transom.

The mount itself is a rigid fixture. However, most Garmin transducers designed for this type of mount allow for angle adjustment once fixed to the mount, to optimize their performance and compensate for transom angle.

This mount is compatible with Garmin dual beam, HD-ID™, DownVü™, and SideVü™ transom transducers.

Yes, if your CHIRP transducer is a Garmin transom-mount transducer of the dual-beam, HD-ID™, DownVü™, or SideVü™ type, then this bracket will be compatible. It is designed for a wide range of Garmin transducer technologies.

This mount is specifically designed for Garmin transom transducers. Although some transducers from other brands may have similar dimensions, compatibility is not guaranteed and is not recommended by the manufacturer.

This bracket is designed to be mounted on the transom of most boats. It is important to ensure that your transom provides a flat and sufficiently robust surface for secure installation, and that the transducer will be properly submerged without being obstructed by the engine or other components.

This mount is designed for installation on your boat's transom. The ideal position is generally at the stern, away from turbulence generated by the propeller and engine, and low enough for the transducer to be immersed in clear water at all speeds.

Yes, installing this bracket requires drilling holes in your boat's transom to secure it firmly. It is crucial to follow the instructions in the transducer and bracket installation manual for a correct and watertight mounting.

For installation, you will typically need a drill, suitable drill bits, a screwdriver (or a wrench depending on the type of fasteners), a pencil or marker, a tape measure, and a marine sealant to seal the mounting holes.

To ensure proper sealing, it is imperative to apply a marine sealant (such as marine silicone or polyurethane caulk) around the drilled holes and on the screws before tightening the mount. This will prevent water from infiltrating the transom.

To minimize turbulence and maximize sonar signal clarity, install the transducer mount as far as possible from the propeller and other sources of turbulence (such as strakes or hull fittings). Ensure the bottom of the transducer is slightly below the hull level, but not too deep to avoid excessive spray.

To maintain the mount, rinse it regularly with fresh water after each use at sea to remove salt and deposits. Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws and the condition of the sealant. Inspect the mount for any signs of wear or damage.

Yes, this bracket is designed as a spare part or an accessory. In case of damage, it can be removed by unscrewing the fasteners and replaced with an identical new bracket, ensuring to properly reseal the mounting holes.
