Helpful Hints for Transducer Installation (In-Hull Mounting)

1. The hull must be made out of solid fiberglass or a maximum 1/8” (3 mm) aluminum.  The unit will not work through wood, plastic, or any other com-

posite material.

2. The glue in location must be in direct contact with the water at all times during operation. The  transducer CAN NOT be mounted in any area where

the water flow is interrupted by propeller turbulence or aerated water.  It MUST NOT be mounted behind any strakes, chimes, steps, or hull fittings

that will disrupt the flow of clean water to the transducer (in line with the mounting location of the transducer and the bow of the boat).   If there are

any of these obstructions, the transducer will need to be relocated to achieve optimal performance.  

3. If mounting in-hull on a stepped hull vessel, the transducer must be mounted in a location where there are no steps forward of the transducer (between

the transducer mounting location and the bow of the boat).  Keep in mind that the glue in location must be in direct contact with the water at all times

during operation or incorrect depth readings will occur.

The Transducer Cable Supplied with the Transducer is Too Short for My Installation, Can It Be Extended

YES:  To extend the transducer cable:

1.  Using a wire cutter, cut the cable on the transducer side 3” (76 mm) from the plug and the cable on the display side 1” (25 mm) from the plug.

2.  At both cuts, strip back the rubber cable cover 1” (25 mm) exposing the three internal wires (blue, white, and bare).

3.  Using a soldering iron, solder the desired length extension cable (available at a boating supply store or by calling 888-667-2767) between the depth

sounder display and the transducer.  Be certain that the blue, white and bare wires are connected properly between the depth sounder display and

the transducer and make sure the colors are consistantly matched throughout the splice.

4. Using electrical tape, or heat shrink tubing make certain that the soldered connections are completely sealed and protected against accidental elec-

trical interference.
