Mounting the Deflection Shield Cover
CAUTION
Do not step on the mounted deflection shield.
When you travel at high speeds, your transducer can spray
excessive water onto your motor. You can install the deflection
shield cover to reduce the water spray.
1
Insert the grommet
À
into the slot
Á
of the deflection shield
cover
Â
.
2
Pull the cable through the grommet.
TIP:
You can lubricate the grommet and length of cable you
are pulling through the grommet with liquid dish soap.
3
With the deflection shield cover parallel to the top of the
housing bracket
Ã
, attach the deflection shield cover to the
deflection shield bracket
Ä
with the screws
Å
.
4
Route the cables up the transom above the water line, and
secure them with cable ties (optional).
Connecting the Transducer to Power and the
Garmin Marine Network
WARNING
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line
fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product
damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.
Before you can connect the device to the Garmin Marine
Network and power, you must mount the device.
1
Route the cables using the appropriate tie wraps, fasteners,
and sealant to secure the cables along the route, and through
any bulkheads or the deck.
2
Install the O-ring and locking collar on the Garmin Marine
Network connector.
3
Connect the bare-wire end of the power cable to a 10 to
35 Vdc power source and to the ground (
Installation Diagram
,
page 3
).
4
Select an option:
• Connect the network cable to the network or the Panoptix
port on your chartplotter.
• Connect the network cable to a port on the GMS
™
10, if
available.
Cable Routing Grommets
When routing cables through your boat, it may be necessary to
drill holes to route the cables. Cable routing grommets can be
used to cover cable installation holes. The grommets do not
create a waterproof seal. If necessary, apply a marine sealant
after installation to weatherproof around the grommet and the
cable.
Installing Locking Rings on the Cables
Before you install locking rings on the cables, you must route
the cables.
To help make the cable-routing process easier, the locking rings
are packaged separately from the cables. Each locking ring is
packaged in a small bag with a number on the label for easy
identification.
1
Separate the two halves of the locking ring
À
.
2
Insert the o-ring
Á
into the end of the connector.
3
Align the two halves
Â
of the locking ring over the cable and
snap them together.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Transducer
Aquatic fouling accumulates quickly and can reduce your
device's performance.
1
Remove the fouling with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
2
If the fouling is severe, use a scouring pad or putty knife to
remove growth.
3
Wipe the device dry.
Anti-Fouling Paint
To prevent corrosion on metal hulls and to slow the growth of
organisms that can affect a vessel's performance and durability,
you should apply a water-based anti-fouling paint to the hull of
your vessel every six months.
NOTE:
Never apply ketone-based anti-fouling paint to your
vessel, because ketones attack many types of plastic and could
damage or destroy your transducer.
