5. Installation Instructions
Transducer Installation
The choice of transducer position will have a major effect on final performance so please consider
carefully all factors and if in any doubt, telephone the factory.
The transducers should be mounted vertically, equidistant from the centreline. They must also be
the same distance from the bow. Take great care to mount the transducers with the brass arrows on
top pointing straight forward in the sailing direction.
Fairings, pads, tapered washers may be required during the fitting of the transducers. Consideration
must also be paid to access for maintenance.
Do not fit downstream of any other through hull fittings (for example intakes, log, toilet sea cocks etc)
and choose a location with good access for withdrawing the transducer for cleaning.
The transducer should ideally be vertical in the fore and aft plane at running trim. If it leans forward
the seabed will appear to slope up, and if it rakes aft then a degree of surface clutter may show.
Sonar cannot see around corners so before installing stand under the boat with your head near the
proposed position and check that you can see from your toes up to above the horizontal ahead. If
the boat has a full or deep forefoot and is shallow aft a forward mounted transducer maybe
necessary.
Each transducer is tuned to work with its own cable, as such the cable must not be cut, and the plug
must not be removed. If it does not reach, then move the location of the transducer interface or
contact us.
NEVER CUT THE TRANSDUCER CABLE
