Pre-test for speed and temperature
Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin
the paddlewheel. Check for a speed reading
and the approximate air temperature. If there
is no reading, return the sensor to your place
of purchase.
Tools and materials needed
Mounting location
To ensure the best performance, the sensor
must be submerged in aeration-free and tur-
bulence-free water. Mount the sensor close to
the centerline of the boat. On slower heavier
displacement hulls, positioning it farther from
the centerline is acceptable. Allow adequate
space above the bracket for it to release and
rotate the sensor upward. Refer to the illustra-
tion below for dimensions.
Note 1: For single drive boat , mount on the
starboard side at least 75 mm (3") beyond the
swing radius of the propeller.

NOTICE
Do not mount the sensor in an area of
turbulence or bubbles:
- near water intake or discharge openings
- behind strakes, struts, fittings, or
hull irregularities
- behind eroding paint (an indication of
turbulence).
Avoid mounting the sensor where the
boat may be supported during trailering,
launching, hauling, and storage.
