Align transducer centerline with hull bottom
and attach to transom.
6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to
the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable at the
transducer. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wir-
ing on the boat. Electrical noise from the engine's wiring, bilge pumps,
VHF radio wires and cables, and aerators can be picked up by the so-
nar. Use caution when routing the transducer cable around these
wires.
WARNING:
Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the
transducer. This can prevent the transducer from enter-
ing the boat if it is knocked off at high speed.
If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through,
the required hole size is 5/8". (If you intend to route an additional speed
or temp sensor cable through the same hole, you will need a 1" (25.4
mm) drill bit instead.)
Caution:
If you drill a hole in the transom for the cable, make sure it is
