Attaching the sensor to the bracket
2. Insert the sensor's pivot arms into the slots near the top of the bracket.
3. Maintain pressure until the pivot arms click into place.
4. Rotate the sensor downward until the bottom snaps into the bracket.
5. Close the retaining cover to prevent the accidental release of the sensor when the
boat is underway.
Adjusting
1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the sensor relative to the underside
of the hull. The stern of the sensor should be 1-3 mm (1/16-1/8") below the bow of
the sensor or parallel to the bottom of the hull.
Note: Do not position the bow of the sensor lower than the stern because aeration
will occur.
2. To adjust the sensor's angle relative to the hull, use the tapered plastic shim pro-
vided. If the bracket has been temporarily fastened to the transom, remove it. Key
the shim in place on the back of the bracket.

°-10° transom angle (stepped transom and jet boats):

the tapered end down.
