Installation Instructions

If you drill a hole in the transom for the transducer cable, make sure it is located
above the waterline. Seal the hole with an above or below waterline marine grade
sealant. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack
in the cable near the transducer.
Use caution when routing the transducer cable near other wiring and cables. If you
need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through, the hole size will
depend on the connector on the end of the transducers cable.
5. Make a test run to determine the results
At times you may need to adjust the transducer higher or lower. The slots in the
mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the transducer up or
down.
If the sonar screen is displaying partial sh arches, as shown in the previous top
two images, the transducer could be at an improper angle. Check the transducer
and make sure its face is parallel with the bottom, as shown in the bottom example.
If you frequently lose bottom signal lock the transducer may be coming out of the
water as the boat crosses waves or wakes.
Move the transducer a little lower in the water to see if that improves sonar perfor-
mance. When shing around underwater structure the transducer may be kicked up
from object strikes. If the transducer is being kicked up too often, try moving it a
little higher for more protection.
