qualified marine technician.
TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE
Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard
transducer. You may exchange your new and unassembled transducer for
another type by returning it to the address listed in Customer Support.
Some transducers may have additional costs. Refer to the Accessory cata-
log or call Customer Support for information.
BEGINNING INSTALLATION
Now that you have determined the transducer mounting method, you can
begin installation of the 250DX. The fold out installation guide included
provides detailed step by step instructions for installation of the control
head and transducer. For transom mount transducer installations, you will
need the mounting template at the front of this manual.
In addition to the parts included you need the following for installation
and operation:
• A powered hand drill and various drill bits
• Phillips and flat-head screw drivers
• A ruler or measuring tape
• Pen or pencil
• 12 volt power source (your boat’s battery)
• A 1-amp fuse
• A fuse holder (if you are wiring directly to the boat’s battery)
• Silicone sealant (for sealing drilled holes)
• 2-part, slow-cure epoxy (for inside the hull transducer installations)
