Traditional Sonar
A. Select a transducer location
To function properly the Skimmer transducer must
be in the water at all times and in a location that has
a smooth flow of water when the boat is moving.
If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow
of water, interference caused by bubbles and
turbulence may show on-screen as random lines or
dots. The unit also could lose bottom signal when
the boat is on plane.
B. Aligning Ratchets on bracket
You will use the ratchets to ensure the trans-
ducer is installed parallel to the ground.
1. Insert the ratchets in the bracket with the
letter “A” aligned with the dot stamped
on the outside of the transducer bracket.
2. Slide the transducer into the bracket
and temporarily slide the bolt through
the transducer bracket.
