Blink Codes

After the sonar module is installed, it turns on when the 

chartplotter is turned on. The color status LED on the sonar 

module indicates its operational status.

Cored Fiberglass Boat Hull Installation 

Instructions

Installing a Thru-Hull Transducer with a Fairing Block

Drilling the Transducer Stem Hole and the Anti-Rotation 

Bolt Hole in a Cored Fiberglass Hull

Before you can drill the hole for the anti-rotation bolt, you must 

drill the hole for the transducer stem (

Drilling the Transducer 

Stem Hole and the Anti-Rotation Bolt Hole in a Cored Fiberglass 

Hull

, page 3

) and you must cut the fairing block (

Cutting the 

Fairing Block

, page 2

).

The core must be cut and sealed carefully to protect against 

water seepage.

1

Select a mounting location without surface irregularities or 

obstructions.

2

Using the template, mark the location of the stem hole and 

anti-rotation bolt.

3

Drill a 3 mm (

1

/

8

 in.) pilot hole through the template and hull 

at the stem hole location.

The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.

4

Place masking tape over the pilot hole and surrounding area 

outside the hull to prevent damage to the fiberglass.

5

Using a 32 mm (1 

1

/

4

 in.) bit at the stem hole location, drill 

from outside the hull through the outer skin  , inner skin  , 

and the core  .
The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.

6

Sand and clean the inner skin, core, and outer skin around 

the hole.

7

Seal the exposed inner core with epoxy  , and allow the 

epoxy to set thoroughly.

8

While holding a drill with a 9 mm (

3

/

 in.) bit plumb, drill the 

anti-rotation bolt hole through the hull from outside the hull.
The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.

9

Sand and clean the area around the hole with a solvent wash 

to remove dust particles.

Applying Marine Sealant to a Thru-Hull Transducer

You must apply marine sealant to the transducer to ensure a 

tight, waterproof seal between the fairing block and the hull. Do 

not apply sealant directly to the stem or anti-rotation bolt.

Apply marine sealant   around the base of the stem and 

anti-rotation bolt on the transducer.

Installing the Transducer with a Fairing Block

It is recommended that two installers complete these 

instructions, with one positioned outside the boat and one inside 

the boat.

NOTE: 

When installing the transducer in a cored fiberglass hull, 

avoid over-tightening the nuts to prevent damaging the hull.

1

Apply marine sealant at the base of the anti-rotation bolt 

and transducer stem  .
