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.
1
To ensure proper alignment underwater, place the transom
mount so the line on the transducer aligns with the bottom
of the transom .
2
Using the transom mount as a template, mark the location of
the pilot holes.
3
Wrap a piece of tape around a 4 mm (
5
/
32
in.) bit at 19 mm
(
3
/
4
in.) from the point of the bit, to avoid drilling the pilot
holes too deep.
4
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.
5
Using the 4 mm (
5
/
32
in.) bit, drill the pilot holes approximately
19 mm (
3
/
4
in.) deep at the marked locations.
6
Apply marine sealant to the included 20 mm screws.
7
Using the three 20 mm screws, attach the transducer mount
to the transom.
8
Route the cable under the transom mount wire hook.
9
If you must route the cable through the transom, choose a
pilot-hole location well above the waterline and mark it.
10
If you marked a pilot hole in step 8, use a 32 mm (1
1
/
4
in.)
hole saw to drill a pass-through hole completely through the
transom.
11
Route the transducer cable to the chartplotter:
• If you are routing the cable using a pass-through hole,
push it through the hole you drilled in step 9.
• 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.
Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be
installed on the shaft far enough away from the trolling motor to
avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water.
Calibration must be of sufficient quality to enable the internal
compass.
NOTE:
To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on
the transom or the trolling motor shaft. The compass may not
work when you mount the transducer on the motor.
NOTE:
For best results, you should use a heading sensor such
as the SteadyCast
™
heading sensor. The heading sensor shows
the direction the transducer is pointing relative to the boat.
You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must
fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Transducer
Aquatic fouling accumulates quickly and can reduce your
device's performance.
1
Remove the fouling with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
2
Wipe the device dry.
