If you want to add a node at the end of the backbone (network bus) 

remove the terminator from the last connector. Install the new T 

connector and attach the terminator to the side of the connector.

Installation 

Preparations 

You can install the EP-DDS in some other order if you prefer, but we 

recommend this installation sequence: 

Caution: 

You should read the entire installation section before drilling 
any holes in your vessel! 

1. Select the approximate location and cable route for the transducer. 
2. Decide how you will route the EP-DDS cable to the desired T 

connector on your NMEA 2000 network. 
4. Install the transducer and route the transducer cable to the network 

backbone. 
5. Connect the EP-DDS NMEA 2000 style connector to the desired T 

connector on the network. The EP-DDS is ready for use.  

Transducer Installation 

These instructions show how to install your Skimmer

®

 

transducer on a 

transom. The EP-DDS Skimmer transducer uses a two-piece, plastic 

kick-up mounting bracket. A kick-up bracket prevents the transducer from 

being damaged if it strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the 

transducer hits an object and kicks-up, the bracket can easily be pushed 

back into place without tools.
