2
Align the transducer parallel to the water line
Á
, and mark the
center location of the two outer holes of the transducer
mount.
3
Wrap a piece of tape around a 4 mm (
5
/
32
in.) bit at 18 mm
(
7
/
10
in.) from the point of the bit, to avoid drilling the pilot
holes too deep.
4
If you are installing the bracket on fiberglass, place a piece of
tape over the pilot-hole location to reduce cracking of the gel
coat.
5
Using the 4 mm (
5
/
32
in.) bit, drill the pilot holes approximately
18 mm (
7
/
10
in.) deep at the marked locations.
6
Apply marine sealant to the included 20 mm screws, and
attach the transducer assembly to the transom.
7
Route the cable under the transom mount wire hook.
8
If you must route the cable through the transom, choose a
pilot-hole location well above the waterline
Â
and mark it.
9
Place a cable clamp on the transducer cable
Ã
,
approximately halfway between the transducer and the top of
the transom or the pilot hole.
10
Mark the pilot-hole location for the cable clamp, and using a
3.2 mm (
1
/
8
in.) bit, drill a pilot hole approximately 10 mm
(
3
/
8
in.) deep.
11
Apply marine sealant to the included 12 mm screw, and
attach the cable clamp to the transom.
12
If you marked a pilot hole in step 8, choose the appropriate
drill bit and drill a pass-through hole completely through the
transom:
• If you have the 4-pin cable, use a 16 mm (
5
/
8
in.) drill bit.
• If you have the 8-pin cable or the 12-pin cable, use a
25 mm (1 in.) drill bit.
13
Route the transducer cable to the sounder:
• If you are routing the cable using a pass-through hole,
push it through the hole you drilled in step 12, and install
the cable-entry cover (
Installing the Cable-Entry Cover
• If you are not routing the cable using a pass-through hole,
route the cable up and over the top of the transom
Ä
.
You should avoid routing the cable close to electrical wires or
other sources of electrical interference.
Installing the Cable-Entry Cover
If you routed the cable through the transom after you installed
the transducer, you should install the cable-entry cover to keep
water from entering your boat.
1
Place the cable-entry cover
À
over the hole and the cable,
with the opening pointing downward, and mark the location of
the two pilot holes.
2
Remove the cable-entry cover, and, using a 3.2 mm (
1
/
8
in.)
bit, drill the pilot holes approximately 10 mm (
3
/
8
in.) deep.
3
Fill the pass-through hole with marine sealant so it covers the
cable completely and there is excess sealant around the hole
and the cable.
4
Place the cable-entry cover over the hole and the cable, with
the opening pointing downward.
5
Apply marine sealant to the included 12 mm M4 screws, and
attach the cable-entry cover to the transom.
6
Wipe away all excess marine sealant.
Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor
NOTICE
Do not cut the transducer cable. Cutting the transducer cable
will void your warranty.
1
Insert the hose clamp
À
through the slot on the transducer
mount
Á
, until equal lengths extend on both sides of the
mount.
2
Place the transducer mount against the body of the trolling
motor with the narrow end of the transducer pointed away
from the propeller.
3
Secure the hose clamp around the body of the trolling motor,
and tighten the hose clamp.
