Testing the Selected Mounting Location

Establishing a Performance Baseline

The results of this test are used to determine the best in-hull location
for a transducer.

1. Take the boat to the maximum depth for which your instrument is

rated, or the maximum depth in which you will operate the fish-
finder.

2. Connect the transducer to the fishfinder. Refer to Transducer

Cable Connections on page 39.
