•Sandpaper (#100)
•Silicone sealant
•Silicone grease
Remarks on installation
•Turn off the engine and anchor the boat while installing the equipment.
•Install the transducer in the engine room.
Choosing the mounting location
•The mounting location should be where the hull is of
•Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribs which run under the hull.
•Avoid a location where the rising angle of the hull exceeds 15°, to minimize the effect of the boat’s rolling.
•You will finalize the mounting location through some trial and error. The procedure for this is shown later.
