6. Tighten the nut onto the mounting bolt, using 2 x 14 mm wrenches or
adjustable wrenches, until the transducer is secure, but can still be
adjusted (tilted) by hand.
7. Tilt the transducer so that the bottom face of the transducer will be
parallel with the waterline and tighten the nut and bolt until the transducer
is held firmly in place.
Routing the cable
Always use the supplied cable clips to secure the transducer cable to the
transom. If the cable will be routed through the transom, use the escutcheon
plate to cover the hole.
1. Plan the route your cable will take to the MFD or sonar module.
For cable routing guidance, refer to:
p.26 — Transducer cable routing guidance
2. If required, drill a 25 mm (1 inch) hole in the transom at the desired location
to route the cable through.
3. If required, drill 25 mm (1 inch) holes through any bulkheads that you
want to route the cable through.
4. Round off the edges of any holes using a file to avoid damaging the cable
on any sharp burrs.
5. Route the transducer cable to the MFD or sonar module, connecting any
necessary extension cables.
6. Secure the cable to the transom using the supplied cable clips and screws.
For detailed instructions, refer to: Securing the cable

Securing the cable
Use the supplied cable clips and screws to secure the transducer cable to
the transom.
Note:
After applying marine grade sealant, always allow time for the sealant to

3. Attach the cable clip to the cable.
4. Apply marine grade sealant to the thread of the cable clip screw.
5. Push the screw through the mounting hole in the cable clip.
