CONNECTING A UNIVERSAL SONAR EXTENSION CABLE
The Universal Sonar Cables are shielded to minimize interference. To protect this shielding the cables should not be pulled tight against
sharp angles or hard objects. If using cable ties, do not over-tighten. Any excess cable should be bundled in a loose loop of no less than
4” in diameter. In certain situations, air bubbles may adhere to the surface of the Universal Sonar transducer, and effect the performance.
If this happens simply wipe the surface of the transducer with your finger.
