TRANSDUCER
Some X-55A's are sold with a HS-WSBK
transom mount transducer. It
can be installed on
any
outboard or stern-drive
(inboarcf\outboard) pow-
ered boat.
It can also be
permanently
installed
inside the boat to "shoot-
through1'
the hull on some
fiberglass
boats.
The
"kick-up" mounting
bracket
helps prevent
damage
if the transducer
strikes
an
object
while the boat is
moving.
If the transducer does "kick-
up",
the
bracket can
easily
be
pushed
back
in
place
without tools.
If
your
unit came with a
transducer,
read this section
carefully
before
attempting
the installation. Determine
which of the
mounting positions
is
right
for
your
boat. Use extreme
care if
mounting
the transducer
inside
the
hull,
since once it is
epoxied
into
position,
the transducer
usually
cannot
be removed.
Remember,
the transducer location
is the most
critical
part
of a sonar installation.
If it isn't done
properly,
the sonar
can't
perform
at it's
designed potential.
Location
-
General
1.
The transducer must be
placed
in a location
that has a smooth
flow of
water at all times. If the transducer
is to be mounted inside
the
hull,
then
the chosen location must
be in the water at all times.
If the
transducer is not
placed
in a smooth
flow of
water,
interference will
show on the sonar's
display
in the form of random
lines or dots
whenever the boat is
moving.
2. The transducer should be
installed with it's face
pointing straight
down,
if
possible.
3. If the transducer is mounted
on the
transom,
make certain
it doesn't
interfere with the trailer or
hauling
of the boat.
Also,
don't mount it
closer than
approximately
one
foot from the
engine's
lower unit. This
will
prevent
cavitation interference
with the
propeller.
Typically,
the
transducer
should be mounted as
deep
in the
water as
possible.
This
increases the chance
that it will be in the water in
high speed
and
reduces the
possiblity
of air bubble interference.
4. If
possible,
route the
transducer cable
away
from other
wiring
on the
boat. Electrical noise
from
engine wiring, bilge
pumps,
and areators
can be
displayed
on the sonar's screen. Use
caution when
routing
the transducer cable around
these wires.
