Description
The WG-1 wedge is built with black polyethylene marine grade plastic and is designed so that when attached to a Transducer Shield® and attached to a surface, it will put the transducer at the correct angle when the boat is in the water. A transducer CANNOT be attached directly to the wedge and must be paired with the appropriate Transducer Shield® for your transducer.
A Transducer Shield® and Wedge assembled together will enable you to attach a transducer to a hull set back/step OR hole shot plate/baffle plate under a jack plate. This wedge is NOT suitable for hole shot plates that are at a 90º angle with the transom (such as Atlas jack plates). For these jack plates, we recommend using an WG-2.5 Wedge or using an L Bracket to attach the Transducer Shield® to the side of the jack plate.
The WG-1 wedge is used with the following Transducer Shields :
- Humminbird : TM-CSI-2, TM-DI, TM-DI-2
- Lowrance: TS-DSI
Please note that when the transducer is attached to a set back, hole shot plate or the side of a jackplate, it will not track the bottom when up on plane because the transducer is out of the water. For bottom reading on plane, a transducer inside the hull will be required.
