Installation
An input designation means, in put to Fishfinder unit and an output designation means, output from
AQUA. Sensors will have similar designations, but from the sensors point of view. Therefore, a sensor
output will connect to an AQUA input and a sensor input will connect to an Fishfinder unit output.
Transducer Installation
If you have chosen a Sonar option for your Genesis a transducer must be installed on your vessel
unless an exiting compatible transducer is installed. The installation of sonar transducers require some
planning and skill to achieve the best result. It is strongly advised hat you read the installation
instructions completely before starting. The two basic types of transducers are transom mount and
through-hull mount. There are variations within each type to provide for options such as temperature
sensors, speed sensors and for different beam angels and sonar frequencies. Several different
transducers may be used with the AQUA. Refer to the optional Equipment list for the variations
available.
CAUTION
Mounting a sonar transducer for your AQUA Sonar requires drilling holes into the hull of your boat
which could affect its water integrity. Therefore, installation should be attempted only by qualified
individuals. If you have any doubt about your ability to complete the process successfully, we
recommend you obtain the services of a HAIYANG dealer or marine service center with knowledge
and experience in transducer installation .
Since your AQUA Sonar performance depends upon how well the transducer is installed, please
carefully observe the following mounting procedures.
For proper performance, the transducer’s mounting location must be chosen carefully. The transducer
must be mounted in a location that is free from turbulence and air bubbles created by movement of the
boat through water. Air bubbles greatly reduce the efficiency of the transducer. It is also strongly
recommended, for transom mounted transducers, the transducer be mounted in an area with the least
