MOUNTING THE CASE
MOUNTING THE CASE / SURFACE MOUNT
4.When using the suction cup transducer on a moving boat, it is best to secure the transducer cable in case of accidental release. A loose transducer cable can cause damage to itself, your boat, or become entangled in the propeller. Attach the tie down strap to the transducer cable and loop the cable around an immovable object such as a rail or fitting as shown in the illustration.

MOUNTING THE CASE
Since it has a large rubber footprint, the Piranha Portable case grips to almost any surface. If a more secure attachment is desired, however, there are a couple of different options to choose from:
1.Surface mount (not included)
2.Nylon web strap (not included).

The Piranha Portable surface mount is an easy to install mount that allows for quick and secure attachment to many different surfaces.
1.Place the surface mount on the desired surface and make sure there is enough room to rotate the case 180 degrees.
2.Put a mark in each curved slot located on the surface mount.
3.Remove the mount and drill two ¹⁄₈” (3.2mm) pilot holes.
4.Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, attach the two #8 screws and black washers pro- vided in the hardware bags. Hand tighten only; do not use power tools.
5.For best results have the “Piranha” text on the surface mount face you right side up and horizontal, reading from left to right, as shown in the illustration. This will line up the control head.
6.Align the universal mount on the back of the Piranha Portable case with the sur- face mount by turning the portable case 90 degrees.
