wood or metal, (which do not conduct sonar signals) make inside the hull
mounting inadvisable.
Thru-hull mounting may require the use of a fairing block to level the
transducer with the waterline. Also, since special tools and knowledge may
be required to perform this type of installation it is best to refer to a
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 your local distributor. Some transducers may
have additional costs. Refer to the Accessory catalog or contact your local
distributor.
BEGINNING INSTALLATION
Now that you have determined the transducer mounting method, you can
begin installation of the 450TX. 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)
