Raymarine CPT-DV/CPT-DVS Mounting Kit

Enhance your boating adventures with the precise transom mounting solution designed specifically for Raymarine's CPT-DV and CPT-DVS transducers. This robust bracket ensures secure attachment to your boat's transom, delivering crystal-clear underwater imaging without the hassle of complex setups. Boaters who demand reliability on the water know that a stable mount is key to avoiding signal loss from vibrations or hull flex—issues that can plague lesser installations.

Why a Dedicated Transom Mount Matters for Your Sonar Setup

Transducers like the CPT-DV and CPT-DVS rely on consistent contact with the water to provide accurate CHIRP sonar data, down to impressive depths and resolutions. A flimsy or mismatched bracket can lead to erratic readings, especially in choppy conditions or at higher speeds. This mounting kit eliminates those risks by offering a tailored fit that aligns the transducer perfectly with the water flow, maximizing your fishfinder's potential for spotting structure, bait balls, and trophy catches.

Crafted from durable marine-grade materials, it withstands saltwater corrosion and impacts, making it a long-term investment for serious anglers and navigators alike. Whether you're chasing offshore pelagics or mapping shallow bays, this bracket keeps your electronics performing at peak levels.

Key Features That Set This Bracket Apart

• Precision Engineering: Custom contours match the CPT-DV and CPT-DVS housings for a seamless, vibration-free fit.
• Easy Angle Adjustment: Built-in slots allow fine-tuning the deadrise angle to suit your hull's shape, ensuring optimal water entry.
• Heavy-Duty Hardware: Includes stainless steel fasteners resistant to rust, proven tough against constant wave pounding.
• Low-Profile Design: Minimizes drag and reduces the chance of snagging lines or debris.
• Universal Transom Compatibility: Works with most fiberglass, aluminum, and composite hulls up to standard transom thicknesses.

Streamlined Installation for Quick On-Water Results

Getting this bracket up and running doesn't require a marine yard overhaul. Start by cleaning the transom surface thoroughly to remove any marine growth or old adhesives. Position the bracket at a spot where water flow is laminar—typically just above the hull's running angle. Drill pilot holes carefully, avoiding over-tightening that could crack gelcoat. Secure the transducer to the bracket with the provided clips, then test submersion at idle speeds before full-throttle runs.

Pro Tip: In high-speed applications, pair it with a fairing block to further streamline flow and cut turbulence. Common pitfalls like mounting too high or ignoring hull deadrise often stem from skipping a dry-fit trial—always mock it up first with the boat on a trailer.

Real-World Performance Boosts for Everyday Boaters

Anglers report sharper bottom tracking and fewer dropouts after switching to this kit, particularly on planing hulls where flex is pronounced. It's not just about holding steady; the design promotes cleaner signal paths, revealing finer details like weed edges or thermoclines that generic mounts obscure. For multi-engine setups, its compact footprint leaves room for props and trim tabs without interference.

Maintenance is straightforward too—rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspect fasteners seasonally. This proactive care extends its lifespan, keeping your sonar reliable season after season.

Perfect Match for Your Raymarine Ecosystem

Engineered as an official accessory, it integrates flawlessly with Raymarine Axiom, Element, and Dragonfly series displays. No adapters or modifications needed, so you spend less time tinkering and more time fishing. If you're upgrading from older thru-hull sensors, this transom option offers easier serviceability without dry-docking.
