Stern view showing good location for mounting sensor on transom.
If the base of the transom has a radius, fill the gap between the
transom and the sensor with the caulking compound. This will help
ensure a smooth water flow.
Speed sensor mounting configuration:
side view (left) and rear view (right.)
Route the sensor's cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit.
If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through,
the required hole size is 5/8".
Caution:
If you drill a hole in the transom for the cable, make sure it is
located above the waterline. After installation, be sure to seal the
hole with the same marine grade above- or below-waterline
sealant used for the screws.
The sensor is now ready for use. Connect the sensor to the accessory
socket on the back of your unit. If you have any questions concerning
the installation of the sensor, please contact your local boat dealer.
