INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the chartplotter, fishfinder, or sounder product box for
product warnings and other important information.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. Sonar is a tool that enhances your
awareness of the water beneath your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of observing the water
around your boat as you navigate.
To prevent leaks, you must apply marine sealant to the water path to ensure a tight, waterproof seal between
the transducer and hull. Immediately check for leaks after you put the vessel in the water.
CAUTION
Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions could result in damage or
injury.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,
cutting, or sanding.
For the best possible performance and to avoid potential injury, damage to the device, or damage to your vessel,
installation by a qualified marine installer is recommended.
NOTICE
To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, you must install the transducer according
to these instructions. Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience
difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin ® Support.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
When mounting the transducer with the fairing block, you must use the included anti-rotation bolt. Failure to do
so could result in the transducer rotating while the boat is moving and could cause damage to your vessel.
To prevent overheating and interference, do not install the transducer near the engine, in the engine room, or in
another hot location.
To prevent damage to the cable and the transducer, do not use the cable to pick up or pull the transducer and
do not strike the transducer lens.
To prevent permanent damage to the surface of the transducer, do not use solvents such as mineral spirits,
acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), or similar products when cleaning. Do not use a power sander or pressure
washer to clean the transducer.
Software Update
You must update the Garmin chartplotter software when you install this device. For instructions on updating the
software, see your chartplotter owner's manual at support.garmin.com.
