1. Plug the transducer into the depthsounder, then power up the depthsounder.
When the depthsounder detects a functioning transducer, it will automatically
enter Normal operating mode.
2. View the sonar signal at its best by holding the transducer over the side,
immersed in the water, so that it is pointing straight down over a known flat
bottom. Use the display to benchmark against the sonar signal that will be
detected once the transducer is placed in the hull.
3. Place the transducer body face down at the identified mounting location inside
the hull, with the pointed end towards the bow (see the illustrations
Positioning
the Transducer
and
Preferred Mounting Area
).
4. Fill the hull with enough water to submerge the transducer body. Use a sand-
filled bag or other heavy object to hold the transducer in position. The transducer
cannot transmit through air, and the water purges any air from between the
transducer and the hull, and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.
5. View the sonar signal on the display and compare against what was observed in
Step 2, making sure that the boat is in the same location as it was during your
observations in Step 2. If the results are comparable, move on to Step 6.
Otherwise, locate a new position in the hull and repeat Steps 3 through 5.
6. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on
the depthsounder. If depth performance is required, test the transducer in water
at the desired depth. If the performance is acceptable, move on to Step 7. If the
performance is not acceptable, repeat Steps 3 through 6.
7. Once you have determined the best mounting location using the above steps,
mark the position of the transducer.
