5.If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps and aerators can be displayed on the sonar's screen. Use caution when routing the trans- ducer cable around these wires.

CAUTION: Clamp the trans-

 

ducer cable to transom near

 

the transducer. This will help

 

prevent the transducer from

 

entering the boat if it is

 

knocked off at high speed.
