It is a practical replacement or service part for keeping the CPT-S mounted correctly at the stern, where transducer position has a direct effect on depth readings and sonar performance while the boat is moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is meant for the mounting side of the installation, not for replacing the transducer, cable, or display connection. It is useful when the original bracket has been damaged, misplaced during a refit, or needs to be renewed during transducer service on a fiberglass, wood, or metal transom installation using the CPT-S transom model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for Raymarine CPT-S transom mount CHIRP sonar transducers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the transom mounting bracket and hardware needed for the bracket installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports proper transducer placement on the stern so the CPT-S can be tested and adjusted during setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful as a replacement kit when servicing, remounting, or repairing an existing CPT-S transom installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory kit only, with no transducer, cable, display, or sonar module included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best results, the bracket should be installed where the CPT-S can stay in clean water flow with minimal turbulence from strakes, through-hull fittings, trim tabs, or prop wash. A careful bracket position helps the transducer maintain bottom tracking and sonar returns when the boat is on plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe transducer height and angle should be checked with the boat in the water before the installation is finalized. This is especially important on planing hulls, where a small change at the transom can affect readings at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is for Raymarine CPT-S transom mount installations. It should not be treated as a universal transducer bracket for other Raymarine transducers or third-party sonar products unless the existing equipment is specifically the CPT-S transom mount type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOwners replacing a damaged bracket should confirm the transducer body and cable are still in good condition before installation. When the CPT-S transducer itself is worn, cracked, or giving inconsistent readings, the bracket kit will not correct those electrical or sensing issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part suits boat owners, installers, and service yards working on smaller fishing boats, runabouts, trailer boats, and coastal cruising boats that use a Raymarine CPT-S transom transducer. It is also helpful during refits where the transducer is being moved to a cleaner location on the transom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCPT-S transom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51556950212854,"sku":"APL987102","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/6658\/2518\/files\/1102153_apl987102jpg.jpg?v=1787867170","url":"https:\/\/www.apollolighting.com\/products\/apl987102","provider":"Apollo Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
