Selecting a location for the Transducer
The guidelines below should be followed when selecting a
location for your transducer.
Note:
The transducer is not suitable for mounting on vessels
where the transom is aft of the propeller(s).
For best performance the transducer must be installed in a
location with the least turbulence and aeration.
• The transducer should be mounted on a horizontal surface.
• Mount a suitable distance from the propeller(s) to avoid wake.
• Turbulence can be caused by a number of other factors such
as steps (1), ribs (2), rows of rivets (3) and strakes (4). The
turbulence appears aft of these locations.
• Air trapped under the front of the vessel can travel under the
hull and appear as aeration.
• To simplify cable routing, you can choose whether to install the
transducer with the cable exiting towards the vessel’s bow, or
towards the stern.
• If installing under the step on a stepped transom with the cable
exiting towards the vessel’s bow, ensure sufficient room is left in
front of the bracket to allow for routing the transducer cable.
Note:
Optimum transducer location and orientation (bow
cable-exit, or stern cable-exit) is dependent on hull type.
Preparing the transducer
The RV-100 RealVision™ 3D transducer (part number A80464) is
supplied already attached to a transducer hanger.
Before mounting the transducer using the accessory bracket, you
must remove the transducer from the transducer hanger.
1. Remove the bracket fixing bolt (
5
) and washer (
6
).
Store the loose parts in a safe place; you will need these parts
if you want to mount the transducer on a transom using the
standard mounting bracket in the future.
