Applications

Use the junction box to connect an existing transducer without a
connector to Navico's echo sounder requiring a 9-pin connector.

Installation

Mounting Location & Hole Drilling
1. Select a convenient dry mounting location for the water-resistant
junction box along the transducer cable's route, a minimum of
1m (3') from other cables and electronic equipment.
2. Hold the junction box at the selected location and mark the
position of the four screw holes (Figure 1).
NOTE: If the junction box will be mounted on a vertical surface,
face the cordgrips sideways to avoid water seeping into the box.
3. At the marked locations, drill 3mm or 1/8" holes to a depth of
10mm (3/8"). Do not fasten the junction box in place at this time.
