NOTE: Due to the wide variety of hulls, only general instructions are presented in this installation guide. Each
boat hull represents a unique set of requirements that should be evaluated prior to installation. It is important to
read the instructions completely and understand the mounting guidelines before beginning installation.
Installation
There are a number of ways to install a transducer on your boat. The transom mount installation provides the
following:
• Least loss of signal since the transducer is mounted outside the boat hull.
• Allows adjustment of both running angle and depth after the transducer is mounted, which enables
you to tune the installation for best results.
• The mounting hardware is designed to pivot the transducer body out of the way should the boat strike
debris in the water, or when trailering.
1.
Test the Transducer Prior to Installation
Prior to installation, test the transducer to make sure that no damage occurred during shipping.
1. Connect the transducer cable connector to the control head or black box sonar (depending on your
system configuration).
NOTE: If using a black box sonar, confirm it is connected to the control head.
2. Power on the control head. Select a sonar view to display on-screen.
NOTE: See your control head operations manual for more information.
