Route 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.
Permanently Mount 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 provide a smooth mounting surface.
4. Mix an ample quantity of two-part slow
cure epoxy slowly and thoroughly. Avoid
trapping air bubbles (Figure 30).
5. Coat the face of the transducer and the
inside of the hull with epoxy (Figures 28
and 30).
6. Press the transducer into place with a slight
twisting motion to purge any trapped air
from underneath, keeping the pointed end
of the transducer body pointed forward,
towards the bow (Figure 31).
NOTE: Proper operation requires the pointed end of
the transducer body to face towards the bow.
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.
Your control head is now ready for operation.
NOTE: Neither water, spilledgasoline, nor oilwill affect the performance ofthetransducer.
