Cable Routing - Raymarine E70085 Dragonfly Operation Manual

The transducer position will be adjusted further during testing
(see Testing the transducer).
12. Tighten the transducer pivot bolt.
13. Tighten the kick-up adjustment screw to achieve the desired
kick-up force.
The kick-up force needs to be adequate to prevent the
transducer from kicking-up during testing but also needs to
be loose enough so that it can kick-up should the transducer
be struck by an object when underway.
Note: The third locking screw is not used until the transducer
has been successfully tested.
Caution: Transducer cable
• Do NOT cut, shorten, or splice the transducer
cable.
• Do NOT remove the connector.
If the cable is cut, it cannot be repaired. Cutting the
cable will also void the warranty.

4.3 Cable routing

The cable must be routed to the desired location of the display.
The cable can be routed through or over the transom.
Note: The cable must be routed as far away from VHF radio
antenna cables as possible to avoid interference.
The following cable routing requirements apply:
• Check that the cable is long enough to reach the location the
display will be mounted. An optional 4 m (13.1 ft) extension
cable is available if required.
• Ensure there is enough slack in the transducer cable, at the
D12639-1
transducer end, to allow the transducer to pivot up and down.
• Secure the cable at regular intervals using cable clips
provided.
• Fill all transom mounting holes with marine grade sealant prior
to tightening securing screws.
• Fill the transom cable hole with marine grade sealant after
routing the cable (if routing through the transom).
• Use the escutcheon provided to cover over the transom cable
hole (if routing through the transom).
• Any excess cable can be coiled up at a convenient location.
