Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Locate
the transducer on the hull as shown below. Don't allow the bracket to go
below the hull, as water pressure against it can cause the suction cup to
come off at speed. Moisten the cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly as
possible. Tie the nylon cord to the boat and route the transducer cable to
the sonar unit. Plug the transducer connector into the "Y" power cable on
the Magna III. Your portable sonar is now ready for use.
HULL
PERMANENT MOUNT TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION
The HS-WSBK supplied with your Magna III is a transom mount trans-
ducer. It can be installed on any outboard or stern-drive
(inboard\outboard) powered boat. It can also be permanently installed
inside the boat to "shoot-through" the hull on some fiberglass boats.
The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer
strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does “kick-
up”, the bracket can easily be pushed back in place without tools.
Read the enclosed transducer installation manual carefully before at-
tempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is
right for your boat. Use extreme care if mounting the transducer inside
the hull, since once it is epoxied into position, the transducer usually
cannot be removed. Remember, the transducer location is the most
critical part of a sonar installation. If it isn’t done properly, the sonar can’t
perform at it’s designed potential.
