attach the bracket onto the prepared mounting area of your kayak. Press and hold the bracket firmly to the kayak so
that it bonds evenly to the surface.
NOTE:
Allow the adhesive 24 hours to dry. Proceeding before the 24 hour period may cause the kayak transducer mount to
fall off in high heat.
6. After the bracket and adhesive have cured for 24 hours, empty the whole packet of marine-grease (included) into the
bracket center. Make sure it covers the bottom and inner-sides of the bracket.
7. Place the transducer into the center of the bracket. Push down on the transducer until you feel contact with the bottom
of your kayak. Wiggle the transducer slightly from side to side to reduce air bubbles.
8. Thread the tie-down strap (included) through the bracket holes, and connect both ends of the strap over the top by
looping the small end through the tie-down strap hole. Make sure that the strap is pulled tight around the transducer
and that the transducer is seated securely in the bracket.

Connecting the Cable
1. Once you have determined where you want to run the cable, route the cable to the control head.
CAUTION!
Do not cut or shorten the 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 cable up to a total of 50'. For assistance, contact the Customer Resource Center

for more information.
2. Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate terminal slot. The slots are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so
be careful not to force the connector into the holder.
Your MHX XMK is now ready for operation.

Use the steps below to remove the MHX XMK from your kayak.
1. Carefully disconnect the MHX XMK cable from the control head.
