Step-by-Step Process

• The first thing you need to do is gather the supplies you'll need for the job. Of course, you'll need the fish finder itself, as well as a power drill, some fishing line, and some weatherproof sealant.
• Once you have all your supplies, it's time to start installing the fish finder. Begin by drilling a hole in the hull of your boat, which is big enough to accommodate the transducer — this is the part of the fish finder that sends out sound waves to detect fish beneath the surface of the water.
• Next, thread the fishing line through the hole you just drilled and tie it off so that the transducer is suspended in the water. Make sure that there is enough slack in the line so that the transducer can move up and down with waves without hitting the bottom.
• Finally, apply a generous amount of sealant around the point where the transducer enters the hull of your boat. This will keep water from seeping in and damaging your boat. Allow the sealant to dry completely before taking your boat out on the water.
