Yes, the Furuno FE-700 transducer should be installed properly to ensure accurate readings. It is recommended to install the transducer on the keel line or between 600 mm and 900 mm from the keel to minimize the effect of aerated water. The installation location should avoid obstructions such as the forward propeller, bow thruster, water intake pipes, and speed log sensor. Additionally, the transducer tank should be flush with the hull bottom.

  • Page 11: Mounting Location

    1.3.1 Mounting Location To decide the location of the transducer, the following points should be taken into account. • The most important matter is where the transducer is installed. The position should be free from aeration possibly occurring beneath the hull and also not affected by engine and propeller noise.

  • Page 12: Distribution Box

    7. It is recommended to enclose the transducer cable in a conduit pipe for waterproofness and electrical shielding as well as for protecting the cable from mechanical damage. The conduit pipe should be fixed to the flange on the transducer tank. The pipe should be of such a length to clear the water level when the ship is fully loaded.
