Installing the Transducer

OK

Adjust the speed sensor so it is parallel with the bottom of the boat. If the speed sensor is not adjusted properly, the sonar may experience degraded speed readings.

In-Hull Installation (continued)Installing the Transducer:

1.Lightly sand the surface of the hull and face of the transducer with 400 grit wet or dry sandpaper.

2.Build a dam using strip caulk about 1/4” tall. Pour about 1/8” of 2-part, slow cure epoxy in the dam. Place the transducer in the epoxy, turning the transducer to work out any air bubbles.

3.Weight the transducer in place and allow to cure for 24 hours.

Speed Sensor Installation

The speed sensor should be mounted as near the center of the boat as possible. Like the transducer, for the speed sensor to operate properly, it should be located in non-turbulent water. Follow the directions in the speed sensor installation instructions to assemble the speed sensor with the mouning bracket, drill holes in the transom, mount the assembly and route the cable.

Drill a 3/4” hole well above the water line.

Coat the inside of the hole with Marine Sealant.

Position Cable Clamps about one-third of the distance from the hole to the transducer.

Drill 1/8” pilot holes 3/8” deep for the mounting screws.

Coat the screws with Marine Sealant before installing them.
