Mounting location
To ensure the best performance, the sensor must be submerged in aeration-free and
turbulence-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.

Do not mount the sensor in an area of turbulence or bubbles: near water intake or

Avoid mounting the sensor where the boat may be supported during trailering,
launching, hauling, and storage.
