3. Routing the Cable
1. Once the mounting location is determined and you havemarked the position of
the transducer, route the cable from the transducer to the depthsounder.
CAUTION!
Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable, and try not to damage the cable
insulation. Route the cable as far as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or
tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. If the cable is too short,
extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50' (15 m).

4. Permanently Mounting the Transducer
NOTE:
Once permanently mounted, you will not be able to make further adjustments to
the transducer.
1. Make sure the position of the transducer is
marked.
2. Remove the water from inside the hull and
thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the
surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary
to sand the area to provide a smooth mounting
surface.
3. Mix an ample quantity of two-part slow cure
epoxy slowly and thoroughly. Avoid trapping air
bubbles.
4. Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of
the hull with epoxy (see the illustration
Coating
the Transducer with Epoxy
).
5. Press the transducer into place with a slight
twisting motion to purge any trapped air from
underneath, keeping the pointed end of the
transducer body pointed forward, towards the
bow (see the illustration
Pressing the
Transducer Into Place
).
NOTE:
Proper operation requires the pointed end of the transducer body to face towards
the bow.
