Mounting the Transducer

DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts, ttings,waterintakeordischargeports,or anything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. It is important that the transducer be in calm, non-turbulent water for optimal performance.

NOTICE: Both the Transom Mount Transducer and the Speed Sensor must be installed sepa- rately. These two sensors may not be combined.

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 or any part of the transducer cable, as this will void your warranty. The cable cannot be spliced and connected to any existing (GARMIN or non- GARMIN) transducer cables.

Following are some tips and basic installation instructions for the optional dual frequency transducer and speed sensor. Detailed installation instructions are provided in the transducer kits.

Transom Mount Installation

from seeping into the transom.

 

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

OK

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.

Mount the transducer parallel with the bottom.
