NOTE: The sealant must extend 6 mm (
of the hull to seal the hull and secure the hull nut.
2
Slide the isolation plate and bushing onto the stem, and apply
sealant to the surfaces of the plate and bushing that will
contact the hull. Fill the cavities in and around the plate and
bushing.
Installing the Transducer in a Metal Hull
It is recommended that two installers complete these
instructions, with one positioned outside the boat and one inside
the boat.
1
From outside the hull, insert the transducer
isolation plate
and bushing
2
Insert the transducer with plate and bushing through the
mounting hole, using a twisting motion to squeeze out excess
sealant.
3
If necessary, trim the bushing.
NOTE: The bushing must be below the hull nut when
installed.
4
From inside the hull
, slide the rubber washer
washer
, and hull nut
5
Use slip-joint pliers or a crescent wrench to hold the stem,
and secure the hull nut to the transducer stem.
Do not over-tighten the hull nut.
6
Before the sealant hardens, remove all excess sealant on the
outside of the exterior hull to ensure smooth water flow over
the transducer.
Maintenance
Testing the Installation
You should check your boat for leaks before you leave it in the
water for an extended period of time.
Because water is necessary to carry the sonar signal, the
transducer must be in the water to work properly. You cannot
get a depth or distance reading when out of the water. When
you place your boat in the water, check for leaks around any
screw holes that were added below the water line.
Anti-Fouling Paint
To prevent corrosion on metal hulls and to slow the growth of
organisms that can affect a vessel's performance and durability,
you should apply a water-based anti-fouling paint to the hull of
your vessel every six months.
NOTE: Never apply ketone-based anti-fouling paint to your
vessel, because ketones attack many types of plastic and could
damage or destroy your transducer.

NOTICE
Cleaning the Transducer
Aquatic fouling accumulates quickly and can reduce your
device's performance.
1
Remove the fouling with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
2
If the fouling is severe, use a scouring pad or putty knife to
remove growth.
3
Wipe the device dry.
