NSTALLATION
Perform the procedures in the following sections to install the Black Box Sonar on your boat.
1
Determine the Mounting Location
The Black Box Sonar is designed to mount on any flat, level surface of your boat. Prior to installation,
you must first determine where to mount the Black Box Sonar.
1. Use a level to locate a suitable, flat area to mount the Black Box Sonar.
2. Place the Black Box Sonar in the chosen mounting location and test the length of the cables
(transducer, temp/speed, and power) to confirm that each cable will reach the Black Box Sonar.
3. Test the length of the Ethernet cable (separate purchase required) from the Black Box Sonar
to confirm it will reach the control head.
CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or
flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric
grease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be
purchased separately from a general hardware or automotive store.
