Operating Considerations
The sonar information from this transducer is for situational awareness only and may not prevent grounding or
collisions in all circumstances. It is your obligation to remain aware of your surroundings and to ensure safe
operation of your vessel.
To avoid possible damage to the transducer, the bracket, and the transom of the boat, you should operate your
boat slowly in shallow water or in areas of unknown depth or underwater obstructions.
The transom mount bracket is not designed to break away upon impact, and striking an underwater object may
damage the transducer, the bracket, and the transom of the boat. Damage to the transducer, the bracket, or the
boat due to striking an underwater object is not covered under warranty.
When operating at speeds greater than 19 km/hr (12 mph), the performance of the transducer is limited, the
bottom return is diminished, and the depth information and alarm may not provide warnings for potential
shallow depth areas.
When operating at higher speeds, the transducer may have noticeable effects on the operation of the boat due
to the drag of the transducer in the water:
• The top speed of the boat may be lower than it is without the transducer installed.
• The steering of the boat may pull toward the side where the transducer is installed.
• The transom of the boat may lift on the side where the transducer is installed.
