Optional Speed Sensor Installation

All the units in this series can display speed and distance traveled, but only the SeaCharter 640cDF comes packed with a speed sensor. If you wish to purchase an optional additional sensor for your unit, refer to the accessory ordering information inside the back cover of this man- ual. The following instructions describe how to install the speed sensor. Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 5/8" drill bit, 1/8" drill bit for pilot holes, screwdriver. Required supplies for this job include: four #8 stainless steel wood screws (3/4" long), high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline sealant compound.

First find a location on the boat's transom where the water flow is smooth- est. Don't mount the sensor behind strakes or ribs. These will disturb the water flow to the speed sensor. Make sure the sensor will remain in the water when the boat is on plane. Also make sure the location doesn't inter- fere with the boat's trailer. Typically, the sensor is mounted about one foot to the side of the transom's centerline.
