Important
Read the instructions completely before proceeding with the
installation. These instructions supersede any other instructions in
your instrument manual if they differ.
Applications
• Best performance on hull deadrise angle through 7°.
Accommodates up to a 22° deadrise angle.
•
Plastic
housing recommended for fiberglass or metal hull only.
Never install a plastic housing in a wood hull, since swelling of
the wood can possibly fracture the plastic
.
•
Bronze
housing recommended for fiberglass or wood hull.
Never mount a bronze housing in a metal hull because
electrolytic corrosion will occur.
•
Stainless steel
housing compatible with all hull materials.
Recommended for a metal hull to prevent electrolytic corrosion
provided the stainless steel housing is isolated from the metal
hull.
Pretest
Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin the paddlewheel.
Check for a speed reading and the approximate air temperature. If
there are no readings or they are inaccurate, check all the
connections and repeat the test. If there are still no readings or
they are inaccurate, return the product to the place of purchase.

Follow the precautions below for optimal
product performance and to reduce the risk of
property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
WARNING
: Always wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and
ear protection when installing.
WARNING
:
The valve is not a watertight seal!
Always
install the insert or blanking plug. Be sure it is fully inserted
into the housing and the cap nut is screwed on completely
for a watertight seal.
WARNING
: All the O-rings must be intact and well lubricated
to make a watertight seal. Do not dry fit the insert in the
housing. Attempting to install the insert without lubricating all
O-rings will damage them, possibly preventing full insertion
and a watertight seal.
WARNING
: The
YELLOW
O-ring must be in place near the
top of the insert to make a watertight seal.
WARNING
: To retrofit the insert in a housing
without
a
valve, the insert must have a
BLACK
O-ring near the top to
make a watertight seal.
WARNING
:
Always attach the safety wire to prevent the insert
or blanking plug from backing out in the unlikely event that the
cap nut fails or is screwed on incorrectly.
WARNING
: Immediately check for leaks when the boat is
placed in the water. Do not leave the boat unchecked for
more than three hours. Even a small leak may allow
considerable water to accumulate.
WARNING
:
Stainless steel housing in a metal hull
—Be
sure the washer contacts the hull. Do not tighten the hull nut
with the washer against the isolation bushing, as the
housing will not be firmly installed.
CAUTION
: Never pull, carry, or hold the sensor by its cable.
This may sever internal connections.
CAUTION
: The arrow on the top of the insert must point
forward toward the bow to align with the water flow.
CAUTION
:
Plastic housing
—Never use a fairing with a
plastic housing; the protruding sensor would be vulnerable
to damage from impact.
CAUTION
:
Metal housing
—Never install a metal housing in
a vessel with a positive ground system.
CAUTION
:
Stainless steel housing in a metal hull
—A
stainless steel housing must be isolated from a metal hull to
prevent electrolytic corrosion. Use the isolation bushing
supplied.
CAUTION
: Never use solvents. Cleaner, fuel, sealant, paint,
and other products may contain solvents that can damage
plastic parts, especially the transducer’s face.
CAUTION
: Never power sand or pressure wash the sensor.
It may weaken the structure or damage the internal
components.
