Flat Mount support for Skimmer Transducers

This mount is specifically designed for skimmer transducers. It is compatible with Active Imaging, TotalScan, and StructureScan 3D transducers.

The mounting kit includes the following items:

2 back panel screws2 mounting bracket bolts4 mounting bracket washers2 mounting bracket nuts6 transducer mounting screws6 locking nuts for transducer mounting4 LSS-11 mounting screws1 closed crimp connector2 hose clamps

The flat mount for skimmer transducers weighs approximately 0.26 kg.

For installing this mount, you will need the following tools and supplies, which are not included:

A drillAppropriate drill bitsA Phillips screwdriverA high-quality marine-grade sealant (for above or below the waterline)

Yes, this mount is compatible with StructureScan HD transducers, as indicated by the inclusion of LSS-1 mounting screws in the mounting kit, referencing the StructureScan HD module.

This mount is designed for a flush-mount installation, typically on the transom of your boat.

The primary function of this mount is to provide a robust and discreet mounting solution for compatible skimmer transducers (Active Imaging, TotalScan, StructureScan 3D) on the stern of a boat, minimizing drag and protecting the transducer.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to use a high-quality marine-grade sealant suitable for use above or below the waterline to ensure watertightness of drilled holes and prevent water ingress.

No, this mount is not universal. It is specifically designed for skimmer transducers in the Active Imaging, TotalScan, and StructureScan 3D ranges. It is not intended for use with other Navico transducer types.

Yes, this mount can be installed on an aluminum hull. However, it is recommended to use M4 mechanical screws and a material such as Starboard between the mount and the aluminum hull to prevent galvanic corrosion.

The SKU reference for this product is 000-12602-001.

Yes, for a transom mount, the transducer angle can be adjusted to be parallel to the water surface, allowing bottom tracking at high speeds. However, for a direct/step mount, the angle is not adjustable.

No, this mount is designed for skimmer transducers mounted on the transom. A trolling motor mount is sold separately if you wish to mount your transducer on this type of motor.

A flat mounting bracket offers several advantages:

It minimizes water drag. It protects the transducer from potential collisions with underwater obstructions. It allows for discreet integration under the hull of your boat.

Yes, installing this mount requires drilling pilot holes in the stern of your boat to securely fasten the mount and transducer.

No, this mount is specifically designed and optimized for "skimmer" type transducers. It is not recommended for transducers of other shapes or types.

This mount is designed for flush mounting to minimize drag. While any external element adds some resistance, its design is optimized to reduce this effect as much as possible.

Yes, for a direct/step mount, the transducer is not in the water when the boat is planing, which protects it and reduces drag. However, the transducer angle cannot be adjusted to be parallel to the water, and it does not allow tracking the seabed when the boat is planing. A transom mount, on the other hand, keeps the transducer in the water at high speed and allows angle adjustment.

This Navico mounting bracket is manufactured in the United States.

The flat mount is designed for flush installation, which helps protect the transducer from potential collisions by minimizing its protrusion beneath the hull. However, it is still important to navigate with caution in shallow or congested areas.
