Tools Needed

• Drill and drill bits

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

• Masking tape

• Marine sealant

Mounting Consideration

To ensure peak performance with the lowest noise and

interference, you should route the transducer cable away from

ignition wires, house batteries and wires, trolling motor batteries

and wires, and high-energy wires such as radar, audio amplifier,

and autopilot pump wires.

Preparing the Transducer for Long-Term Exposure to

Water

NOTICE

Do not use acetone or acetone-based products on the

transducer. Acetone damages the plastic transducer housing.

When you install a transducer on a boat that spends a

significant amount of time in the water, you should coat the

transducer and mounting hardware with a water-based anti-

fouling paint to prevent marine growth.

Lightly sand the transducer and mounting hardware with a

fine-grit abrasive pad.

Wipe the transducer and mounting hardware with isopropyl

alcohol.

Apply water-based anti-fouling paint to the transducer and

mounting hardware.

Installing the Transducer on a Transom

Mounting Location Considerations

• The transducer should be mounted parallel to the water line.

• The transducer should be mounted as close to the center of

the boat as possible.

• If your propeller moves clockwise when the boat moves, the

transducer should be mounted on the starboard side.

• If your propeller moves counter-clockwise when the boat

moves, the transducer should be mounted on the port side.

• The transducer should not be mounted behind strakes, struts,

fittings, water intake or discharge ports, or anything that

creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent.

The transducer must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for

optimal performance.

• The transducer should not be mounted in a location where it

might be jarred when launching, hauling, or storing.

• On single-drive boats, the transducer must not be mounted in

the path of the propeller.

The transducer can cause cavitation that can degrade the

performance of the boat and damage the propeller.

• On boats with outboard or inboard/outboard motors, the

transducer should be mounted at least 38 cm (15 in.) from

the propeller.

• On twin-drive boats, the transducer should be mounted

between the drives, if possible.

NOTE: The bolt should be tight enough to hold the

transducer in place when the boat moves at high speed, but

loose enough to allow the transducer to pivot out of the way if

the transducer hits an obstruction.

Installing the Transom-Mount Hardware

NOTICE

If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is

recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance

counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to

avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are

tightened.

The cables connected to the transducer should not be cut,

because cutting the transducer cables voids your warranty.

Cut out the template.

With the template

aligned vertically on the transom at the

installation location (Mounting Consideration, page 1), place

the bottom corner

of the template on the edge of the

transom.

Mark the center location of the two holes of the template.

Remove the template from the transom.

Wrap a piece of tape around a 4 mm (

in.) bit at 18 mm

(

in.) from the point of the bit, to avoid drilling the pilot

holes too deep.

If you are installing the bracket on fiberglass, place a piece of

tape over the pilot-hole location to reduce cracking of the gel

coat.

Using the 4 mm (

in.) bit, drill the pilot holes approximately

18 mm (

in.) deep at the marked locations.

Apply marine sealant to the included 20 mm screws, and

attach the transducer assembly to the transom.

Route the cable under the transom mount cable hook.

If you must route the cable through the transom, choose a

pilot-hole location well above the waterline and mark it.

Place a cable clamp on the transducer cable, approximately

halfway between the transducer and the top of the transom or

the pass-through pilot hole.

Mark the pilot-hole location for the cable clamp, and using a

3.2 mm (

in.) bit, drill a pilot hole approximately 10 mm

(

in.) deep.

Apply marine sealant to the included 12 mm screw, and

attach the cable clamp to the transom.

If you marked a pilot hole in step 7, choose the appropriate

drill bit to drill a pass-through hole completely through the

transom:

• If you have the 4-pin cable, use a 16 mm (

in.) drill bit.

• If you have the 8-pin or 12-pin cable, use a 25 mm (1 in.)

drill bit.

Route the transducer cable to the sounder:

• If you are routing the cable using a pass-through hole,

push it through the pass-through hole, and install the

cable-entry cover (Installing the Cable-Entry Cover,

page 2).

• If you are not routing the cable using a pass-through hole,

route the cable up and over the top of the transom.

You should avoid routing the cable close to electrical wires or

other sources of electrical interference.

Installing the Cable-Entry Cover

If you routed the cable through the transom after you installed

the transducer, you should install the cable-entry cover to keep

water from entering your boat.

Place the cable-entry cover

over the hole and the cable,

with the opening pointing downward, and mark the location of

the two pilot holes.

Remove the cable-entry cover, and, using a 3.2 mm (

in.)

bit, drill the pilot holes approximately 10 mm (

in.) deep.

Fill the pass-through hole with marine sealant so it covers the

cable completely and there is excess sealant around the hole

and the cable.

Place the cable-entry cover over the hole and the cable, with

the opening pointing downward.

Apply marine sealant to the included 12 mm M4 screws, and

attach the cable-entry cover to the transom.

Wipe away all excess marine sealant.

Testing the Installation

NOTICE

You should check your boat for leaks before you leave it in the

water for an extended period of time.

Because water is necessary to carry the sonar signal, the

transducer must be in the water to work properly. You cannot

get a depth or distance reading when out of the water. When

you place your boat in the water, check for leaks around any

screw holes that were added below the water line.

Testing the Transom-Mount Transducer Installation

NOTICE

When adjusting the depth of the transducer, make the

adjustments in small increments. Placing the transducer too

deep can adversely affect the performance of the boat and put

the transducer at risk of striking underwater objects.

Test the transom-mount transducer installation in open water

free of obstacles. Pay attention to your surroundings as you test

the transducer.

With the boat in the water, turn on the chartplotter.

Drive the boat at a slow speed. If the chartplotter appears to

be working properly, gradually increase speed while

observing the chartplotter.

If the sonar signal is suddenly lost or the bottom return is

severely degraded, note the speed at which this occurs.

Return the boat to the speed at which the signal was lost,

and make moderate turns in both directions while observing

the chartplotter.

If the signal strength improves while turning, adjust the

transducer so that it extends another

in. (3 mm) below the

transom of the boat.

Repeat steps 2–4 until the degradation is eliminated.

If the signal does not improve, move the transducer to a

different location on the transom, and repeat the test.

Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor

Assembling the Trolling Motor Mount

Using the 8 mm M4 screws

and 4 mm star washers

attach the trolling motor mount

to the transducer

Route the cable through the cable exit

so the cable is on

the top side of the trolling motor housing when stowed.

Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor

NOTICE

Do not cut the transducer cable. Cutting the transducer cable

will void your warranty.

Insert the hose clamp

through the slot on the transducer

mount

, until equal lengths extend on both sides of the

mount.

Place the transducer mount against the body of the trolling

motor with the narrow end of the transducer pointed away

from the propeller.

Secure the hose clamp around the body of the trolling motor,

and tighten the hose clamp.

Position the transducer so it is parallel to the bottom when in

use.

Use the included cable ties to secure the transducer cable.

Route the transducer cable to the installation location of the

sounder while taking these precautions.

• The cable should not be routed close to electrical wires or

other sources of electrical interference.

• The cable must not be pinched when the trolling motor is

deployed or stowed.
