NOTICE
If you need to increase the length of the transducer cable order part
# 8000-90 from our website or toll free at 888-766-7276. Strip back
the rubber cable cover 1” (28 mm) exposing the three internal wires
(blue, white, and bare) on your transducer. Using a soldering iron,
solder the blue, white and bare wires from the 8000-90 extension cable to the
corresponding wires on your transducer. Using electrical tape, or heat shrink
tubing make certain that the soldered connections are completely sealed and
protected against accidental electrical interference and corrosion. Cutting the
plug off the Digital Depth Sounder display will void the warranty.
STEP 5
Antifouling Paint
Marine growth can accumulate rapidly on the transducer's surface. If the vessel
is left in saltwater for extended periods of time, all components of the transducer
below the waterline must be painted with WATER BASED antifouling paint.
• Never use ketone-based paint, as this type of paint can damage the
transducer's plastic shell.
• Clear, spray-on antifouling paints are very easy to apply and can be
purchased from your local boating supply store.
• Reapply paint as needed to prevent marine growth
STEP 6
Testing and Troubleshooting the Transom Mount Installation
1. Make sure that the display is functioning properly by following the display
testing procedures in the Display Installation and Operation Manual.
2. Place the vessel in the water. Once the display is turned ON, it will display
the test sequence and then display the current depth.
3. Become familiar with the depth sounder’s function and performance at idle
speeds.
4 Gradually increase the boat speed and observe the depth readings (pay
attention to minimum and maximum depth capabilities).
5. If "---" readings appear:
• Check to make sure that the transducer is not "kicked-up". To prevent
damage to the transducer, it will automatically release from the mounting
bracket (kick-up) when it is impacted. If this occurs, refer to Page 4 of this
manual to reset the transducer for normal operation. If this happens
frequently, make sure that the trailer or boat lift bunks do not interfere with
the transducer during loading and unloading.
• Have someone run the boat on plane for you in smooth water.
CAREFULLY look over the transom at the water flowing from the bottom
