To get a good “view” of the mounting location, while the
vessel is out of the water, position yourself at the
transom and look at the bottom of the hull towards the
bow. Using illustrations A thru I, note anything that could interrupt
the clean flow of water to the transducer mounting location.
STEP 2
Test the Selected Location
1. Anchor/Moor the vessel in a body of water away from other boat traffic.
N
OTICE
:
Turn OFF all other sonar devices on
your boat and locate the vessel at
least 50 feet from the nearest vessel.
2. Plug the transducer cable into the back of the depth
sounder display and turn the display ON. Once the
display is turned ON, it will display the test sequence
and then display the current depth. Make sure the Keel
Offset feature is turned OFF.
3. Place the transducer close to your ear (do not press up
against your ear). If the transducer is properly
connected it will be emitting a ticking sound
(similar to a
wrist watch).
If you do not hear this ticking sound,
recheck your connections or visit our Customer Service
Center for advanced troubleshooting.
4. Hold the transducer over the side of the vessel so that it
is the same distance below the water surface as it would
be at the in-hull mounting location. Note the depth that is
being displayed on the Depth Sounder.
N
OTICE
:
Certain environmental conditions may
restrict the performance of the depth
sounder. Extremely dirty water, very
soft bottom, high speeds, deep water, or a
combination of the above will result in incomplete
or inaccurate readings. If “-- -” appears on the
display, relocate the vessel to cleaner water.
