Transducer Installation

Preparations

The following shows the recommended sequence for installing the transducer:

CAUTION:

You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel!

1.Determine the approximate location for the sonar unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the transducer and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the de- sired configuration.

2.Determine the approximate location for the transducer and its cable route.

3.Determine the location of your battery or other power connection, along with the power cable route.

4.Install the transducer and route the transducer cable to the sonar unit.

5.Route the power cable from the unit's location to an appropriate power source and connect it there.

6.Connect the transducer/power cable to the unit and mount the sonar unit on the bracket.

Installation

These instructions will help you install your Skimmertransducer on a transom, on a trolling motor or inside a hull. Please read all instructions before proceeding with any installation. Your Skimmer transducer typi- cally comes packaged with a one-piece stainless steel bracket for mount- ing it to the transom of your boat. The trolling motor mount uses a one- piece plastic bracket with an adjustable strap.
