navigate.
Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with
these instructions could result in damage or injury.
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite

Mounting Considerations

• You must not mount the transducer in the path of the
™
propeller.
• On an outboard motor, you should mount the transducer on
the side of the down stroke of the propeller, typically
starboard.
• You should mount the transducer in a location where it will
not be jarred when launching, hauling, or storing.
• You should mount the transducer in a location where it is not
behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake or discharge
ports, thru-hull transducers, or anything that creates air
bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. Turbulent
water may interfere with the sonar beam.
• You should mount the transducer as close to the center line
of the boat as possible.
• When mounted farther from the center of the transom, a
greater deadrise can cause the boat hull
the sonar beam
the opposite side of the boat
from behind.
• On twin-drive vessels, you should mount the transducer
between the drives, if possible.
• If necessary, for extra cable length you can connect an
optional extension cable, available at
your Garmin dealer.
Installing the Transducer on the Trolling
Motor
You must secure the transducer cable to the shaft or other
