Transducers for fish finders vary greatly. There are a number of different types of transducer. The most common is a transom mount transducer, which as the name suggests is mounted on the transom of your boat. A shoot thru transducer shoots through the bottom of your boat.This type of transducer is only useful for certain fibreglass boats and has the advantage of not needing to make holes in your boat. The installation of a shoot-thru transducer is critical though, so either seek some advice before doing it yourself or get it installed professionally. Incorrect installation may cause you a lot of anguish and frustration with the performance of your fishfinder. With this in mind, it is important to follow the installation instructions as closely as possible if you do intend on installing the transducer yourself. Ensuring that your transducer is set up correctly is your best way to promote optimal performance. Choose your transducer carefully. Some fishfinders come with a transducer included, and some do not. It is best to purchase a transducer that is the same as the brand of fish finder you are using. So if you are using a humminbird fishfinder, choose a humminbird transducer. Look for transducers that can be used with a variety of fishfinders so that if you ever change your fishfinder, you may not have to change your transducer, or if you sell your boat, the new owner may have a fishfinder that is compatible with the transducer.
