5.3 Mounting the transducer
The transducer must be mounted on the transom
using the mounting bracket provided. The steps
below describe the initial mounting steps required
in order to test your transducers performance.
After testing the transducer you must finish the
mounting following the instructions in the
Finishing
the transducer mounting section.

1. Feed the transducer cable between the posts on
the mounting bracket as shown.
2. Slide the ratchet arm into the guide on the top of
the transducer, ensuring it locks in place.
3. Hold the ratchet plate in place on the ratchet arm
as shown.
4. Insert the ratchet arm between the mounting
bracket posts, aligning the center hole with the
holes in the posts.
5. Slide the M5 washer and then the compression
washer onto the ratchet bolt.
6. Slide the ratchet bolt through the mounting
bracket assembly.
7. Insert the M5 locking nut into the captive housing
on the mounting bracket.
8. Using a 4 mm Hex wrench (allen key) tighten
the ratchet bolt until the ratchet mechanism is
engaged but can still be adjusted by hand.
9. Position the transducer so that the bottom face of
the transducer will be parallel with the waterline
and tighten the ratchet bolt.

The transducer position will be adjusted further
during testing.
5.4 Testing and adjusting the
transducer
Once the initial mounting procedures have been
carried out, the transducer must be tested prior to
finishing the mounting.
The testing should be carried out with your vessel
in the water, with a depth greater than 0.7 m (2.3
ft) but less than the maximum depth range of the
transducer.
1. Open the Sonar application on your display.
After a few seconds the bottom should be visible
onscreen and a depth reading displayed.
2. Start moving your vessel at a low speed, ensuring
you have a depth reading and a clear image is
displayed.
3. Gradually increase the vessel speed whilst
checking the display, if the image becomes poor
or the bottom is missing at lower speeds then the
transducer needs to be adjusted.
4. Angle and height adjustments should be made in
small increments and re-tested each time until
you obtain optimum performance.

5. Loosen the ratchet arm bolt to adjust the
transducer angle.
6. Loosen the 2 mounting bracket screws to adjust
the transducer height.
7. Re-tighten the ratchet arm bolt and mounting
screws before re-testing.
Note:
• It may not always be possible to obtain depth
readings at higher speeds due to air bubbles
passing under the transducer.
• It may be necessary to make several
adjustments to the transducer before obtaining
optimum performance.
• If the transducer requires repositioning ensure
all old holes are filled with marine grade sealant.
