ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
It is the intention of Johnson
Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. to be a responsible corporate citizen, operating in
compliance with known and applicable environmental regulations, and a good
neighbor in the communities where we make or sell our products.
WEEE DIRECTIVE:
EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive (WEEE)” impacts most distributors, sellers, and manufacturers
of consumer electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive requires the
producer of consumer electronics to take responsibility for the management of
waste from their products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during
the product life cycle.
WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical & electronic
equipment (EEE), nor may it be required for EEE designed and intended as fixed or
temporary installation in transportation vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and
boats. In some European Union member states, these vehicles are considered
outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can be
considered excluded from the WEEE Directive requirement.
This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the product must not
be disposed of with other household refuse. It must be disposed of and
collected for recycling and recovery of waste EEE. Johnson Outdoors
Marine Electronics, Inc will mark all EEE products in accordance with the
WEEE Directive. It is our goal to comply in the collection, treatment, recovery, and
environmentally sound disposal of those products; however, these requirements do
vary within European Union member states. For more information about where you
should dispose of your waste equipment for recycling and recovery and/or your
European Union member state requirements, please contact your dealer or
distributor from which your product was purchased.

Overview

instructions
for
the
installation
of
this
accessory.

we

you

instructions

benefit
from

Supplies:
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, marine-grade silicone sealant, and dielectric grease.
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.
WARNING!
Do NOT install the transducer in line with the engine intake.
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.
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.
