NSTALLATION
Selecting a Transom Mount Location
For your sonar to operate properly, the transducer has to be located
in clean (non-turbulent) water. The transducer should be mounted as
near the center of the boat as possible.
DO NOT cut the transducer lead, this will void your warranty and
may degrade the sonar’s operation.
DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, rivet lines, struts,
fittings, water intake, discharge ports, eroding paint, or anything
that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent.
It is important that the transducer be as close to the center line as
possible in calm, non-turbulent water for optimal performance.
Avoid mounting the transducer in locations where the boat may be
supported during launching, hauling, trailering, or storage.
Mount the transducer away from the path of the prop on single drive
boats. On twin drive boats, mount the transducer between the drives
if possible. Do not mount the transducer directly in the path of the
prop. The transducer can cause cavitation that may degrade the
boat’s performance and damage the prop.
Make sure the transducer is below
water level when the boat is on plane
at high speed.
Apply marine sealant to all screw threads to
prevent water from seeping into the transom.
Mount the transducer parallel
with the water line.
Do not mount the transducer behind
strakes, rivet lines, struts, fittings, water
intakes or discharge ports.
