6.Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the control head. If depth performance is required, test the transducer in water at the desired depth. If the performance is acceptable, move on to Step 7. If the performance is not acceptable, repeat Steps 3 through 6.
7.Once you have determined the best mounting location using the above steps, mark the position of the transducer.
3.Routing the cable
1.Once the mounting location is determined and you have marked the position of the transducer, route the cable from the transducer to the control head.
4.Permanently mounting the transducer
1.Make sure the position of the transducer is marked.
2.You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this procedure.
3.Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to create a smooth mounting surface.
4.Slowly and thoroughly mix an ample quantity of
5.Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy.
6.Press the transducer into place with a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air from underneath, keeping the end of the transducer that has the mounting knuckle pointed forward, towards the bow of the boat.
NOTE: Proper operation requires the end of the transducer that has the mounting knuckle to face towards the bow of the boat.
7.Weight the transducer so that it will not move while the epoxy is curing.
NOTE: When the epoxy cures, no water is necessary inside the hull.
8.If you unplugged the transducer cable at the beginning of this procedure, plug it back into the control head.
NOTE: Neither water, spilled gasoline, nor oil will affect the performance of the transducer.
