WARNING!
Do not touch an active transducer during operation, as this may
cause physical discomfort and may result in personal injury in the form of
tissue damage. Handle the transducer only when the power to the fishfinder is
off.
WARNING!
This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent
collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is
moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react.
Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or
submerged objects.
WARNING!
Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be
performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial
number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by
unauthorized individuals will void the warranty. Handling and/or opening this
unit may result in exposure to lead, in the form of solder.
WARNING!
This product contains lead, a chemical known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
The WEEE Directive aims to minimize the impact of end-of-life

NOTE:
This type of transducer installation is not recommended for trailerable boats.
NOTE:
This transducer requires drilling a hole in the hull of the boat; therefore, installation should be performed by a
qualified marine technician.
In addition to the hardware supplied with your transducer, you will need a drill, a small drill bit for a pilot hole, a
1 1/8" hole saw, a level, and marine-grade silicone sealant.
Installation
Perform the procedures in the following sections to install the transducer on your boat.
1.
Testing the Transducer Prior to Installation
Prior to installation, test the transducer to make sure that no damage occurred during shipping.
1. After connecting the transducer to the control head, hold the transducer in the water over the side of the boat
to confirm proper operation. If the transducer is working properly, you should be able to see the bottom on the
control head display. The bottom image should be relatively strong and there should be detailed structure on the
display.
2.
Locating the Transducer Mounting Position
Outside the boat:
The best location for the transducer will be aft midship, as close to the centerline of the boat as
possible. The transducer should be mounted forward of the propellers on inboard boats, and separated adequately
from other transducers, strakes, rivet lines, or other protrusions. Make sure that there is nothing in front, behind, or to
the side of the transducer that is closer than 12".
Inside the boat:
There must be room to access the mounting location for installation and cable routing.
Deadrise:
Another consideration is the angle of deadrise.
•
The transducer, when mounted, should point straight down. If the selected mounting location has a hull deadrise
of 8 degrees or greater, the included leveling block should be used to level the transducer housing and direct the
sonar signal straight down.
• If you need to use the leveling block, make sure that the inside surface of the hull is smooth enough to seat the
leveling block securely.
