Insert and align ratchets.
Place the ratchets into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the
alignment mark molded into the bracket. Place the ratchets onto the
transducer with the letter "A" aligned with the 12 o'clock position on the
transducer stem. These positions set the transducer's coarse angle
adjustment for a 14
° transom. Most outboard and stern-drive transoms
have a 14 ° angle.
Align transducer centerline with hull bottom.
2. Aligning the transducer on the transom.
To align the transducer to the transom, side the transducer between
the ratchets. Look at the transducer from the side and adjust it so that
its face is parallel to the ground. The alignment letters on either side of
the bracket need be the same.
If the transducer's face is not parallel with the ground, remove the
transducer and ratchets from the bracket. Place the ratchets into the
holes in the bracket with the letter "B" aligned with the dot stamped in
the bracket. Reassemble the transducer and bracket and place them
against the transom.
3. Assembling the transducer.
Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the
transducer. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.
