as far as possible from all other wires. This is especially important with wiring for the boat’s ignition, alternator, or tachometer. Also try to keep the transducer cable away from the antenna and power cables for VHF or FM radios. It is also helpful to keep the transducer cable away from the FishFinder power cable. If it is necessary to run the transducer cable across any wires, make the crossing at a right angle.

3.Be careful not to tear the cable jacket when passing it through bulkheads and other parts of your boat. Secure the cables in place using tywraps or lacing twine. Coil the extra cable and tie it out of the way.

4.If the 20 foot (6 m) transducer cable is not long enough, a 15 foot

(4.6 m) extension cable is available from your Raymarine dealer (part no. M99-140). When you attach the extension cable, be sure that the connections are tight and watertight. Use Dow Corning DC-4 or an equivalent sealing compound to protect the connector assemblies. Note: To extend both depth and Sidelooker cables, use the M99-139 extension cable.

5.At the rear of the display unit, plug in the transducer cable using the keyed connector.
