Read these instructions carefully

before

attempting the installation.

Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Use
extreme care if mounting the transducer inside the hull, because once it
is epoxied into position, the transducer usually cannot be removed.

Remember, the transducer installation is the most critical part
of a sonar installation.

Recommended Tools and supplies

If you prefer the option of routing the cable through the transom, you
will need a 1" drill bit. A transom mount requires use of a

high quality,

marine grade

above- or below-waterline caulking compound. The fol-

lowing installation types also call for these recommended tools and re-
quired supplies (supplies are

not

included):

Single-frequency transom installations

Tools include: two adjustable wrenches, drill, #29 (0.136") drill bit, flat-
head screwdriver. Supplies: none.

Dual-frequency transom installations

Tools: two adjustable wrenches, drill, #20 (0.161") drill bit, flat-head
screwdriver. Supplies: four, 1" long, #12 stainless steel slotted wood
screws.

Single-frequency trolling motor installations

Tools: two adjustable wrenches, flat-head screwdriver. Supplies: plastic
cable ties.

Shoot-through hull installations

Tools: these will vary depending on your hull's composition. Consult your
boat dealer or manufacturer. Supplies: 100 grit sandpaper, good quality
epoxy adhesive.

Selecting a Transducer Location

1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of

water at all times. If the transducer is to be mounted inside the hull,
then the chosen location must be in the water at all times. If the
transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference
caused by bubbles and turbulence will show on the sonar's display in
the form of random lines or dots whenever the boat is moving.

NOTE:

Some aluminum boats with strakes or ribs on the outside of the
hull create large amounts of turbulence at high speed. These boats
typically have large outboard motors capable of propelling the boat
at speeds faster than 35 mph. Typically, a good location on alumi-
num boats is between the ribs closest to the engine.
