Mounting the Transducer

Proper transducer installation is key to getting the best performance from your new unit. If the transducer lead is too short, extension cables are available from you GARMIN dealer. DO NOT cut the transducer lead, this will void your warranty.

Following are some tips and basic installation instructions for three popular transducers. Detailed installation instructions are provided in the transducer kits.

DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake or discharge ports, or anything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. It is important that the transducer be in clean (non turbulent) water for optimal performance.

Mount the transducer parallel with the bottom.

Mount the transducer cable cover well above the waterline.

Transducer should extend 1/8" below fiberglass hull or 3/8" below aluminum hull

Make sure that the transducer is below water level when the boat is on plane at high speed

Do not mount transducer directly in the path of the prop. The transducer can cause cavitation that may degrade the boat's performance and damage the prop.
