screws until they are secure. Hand tighten only!
Fully tighten the two pivot bolts, using a 1/2" (13 mm) torque
wrench to 12 ft-lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench, use a
crescent/box wrench to hand tighten the two pivot bolts until
they are secure, then turn the wrench 45 to 60 degrees more.
Hand tighten only!

Maintenance

If your transducer remains in the water for long periods of
time, slush, algae and other marine growth can reduce the
effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically clean the face
of the transducer with a mild, marine-safe and plastic-safe
soap or solution.
If your transducer remains out of the water for a long
period of time, it may take some time to wet the transducer
after it is returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling
to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper
operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may
wipe the face of the transducer with your fingers after the
transducer is in the water.
