When selecting a transom mount location, consider the following for
optimal performance:
• For your sonar to operate properly, the transducer must be
located in calm water. DO NOT mount the transducer behind
strakes, rivet lines, struts, ttings, water intake, discharge
ports, eroding paint, or anything that creates turbulence.
• Mount the transducer as close to the center of the boat as
possible.
• DO NOT cut the transducer lead. (This voids your warranty.)
• DO NOT mount the transducer in locations where it might be
jarred when launching, hauling, trailering, or storing.
• DO NOT mount the transducer in the path of the prop on
single-drive boats. The transducer can cause cavitation that
can degrade the boat’s performance and damage the prop. On
twin-drive boats, mount the transducer between the drives, if
possible.
NOTE: DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts,
ttings, water intake or discharge ports, or anything that creates
air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. The
transducer must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal
performance.
Tool List (not included)—drill, 3/8" wrench or socket, 5/32" and
1/8" drill bits, masking tape, #2 Phillips screwdriver, and marine
sealant.
