- Page 1 ® DEPTHTRAX TRANSOM/GLUE IN TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read this manual carefully before using this product. SAFETY INFORM ATION: • Periodically wipe the face with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents on this device.
- Page 2 PARTS SUPPLIED IN PACKAGING The following parts should be included with the transducer: • Transom/Glue-In Transducer with 30 ft Cable and Plug • Transducer Support Bracket with Attached Kick-Up Bracket • (2) Tapered Plastic Shims • (2) Cable clamps • Clam Shell Cable Cover •...
- Page 3 OTICE Glue-in mounting of the transducer is NOT suitable for all vessels. You MUST test the glue-in location on the water prior to using epoxy to permanently affix it to the hull. If you cannot obtain satisfactory readings during on water testing you will need to transom mount the transducer, or switch to a customer transducer.
- Page 4 Transom mounting is suitable for the following vessels: • Outboard, inboard/outboard, single inboard, or jet-drive propulsion. • Hull deadrise angle below 30°. • Transom angle from 3-20°. OTICE To get a good “view” of the mounting location, while the vessel is out of the water, position yourself at the transom and look at the bottom of the hull towards the bow.
- Page 5 STEP 1 Choosing a Mounting Location To obtain the best performance, the transducer should be mounted in a location where the water flow beneath the hull is aeration and turbulence-free. Try to mount the transducer as close to the centerline of the boat as possible. Consult the boat manufacturer best in-hull...
- Page 6 Mounting Location “DONT’s” OTICE To deliver consistent, accurate readings, the transducer must have continuous supply non- turbulent water. Do not mount the transducer in an area of turbulence or bubbles. Never install the transducer where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
- Page 7 STEP 2 Assembling the Transom Mount Bracket 1. With the Locking Tab in the up position, align the transducer and bracket, then slide the transducer into the Pivot Bracket until it cannot slide any further (minimal force is required) (illustration A). 2.
- Page 8 4. The bracket is designed for a standard 13° transom angle. To determine if the plastic shim is needed, position the transducer at the desired location. Using a straight edge, compare the underside of the transducer relative to the underside of the hull. The stern (trailing edge) of the transducer should be 1/16"...
- Page 9 STEP 4 Cable Routing Route the transducer cable over the transom, through a deck or splash-well drain hole or through a new hole drilled in the transom. If a new hole is required, it MUST be drilled well above the waterline. To Drill a Cable Pass Through: 1.
- Page 10 OTICE If you need to increase the length of the transducer cable order part # ACC-DF-1130 from our website. Strip back the rubber cable cover 1” (28 mm) exposing the three internal wires (blue, white, and bare) on your transducer. Using a soldering iron, solder the blue, white and bare wires from the extension cable to the corresponding wires on your transducer.
- Page 11 of the boat over the base of the transducer. The water should be "Clean" with very little turbulence (air bubbles). If there are any air bubbles or turbulence seen passing underneath the transducer, move the transducer farther down on the transom bracket. If the performance does not improve, move the transducer to "Clean Water"...
- Page 12 STEP 1 Choosing a Mounting Location OTICE If your hull is not SOLID fiberglass or up to 1/8th” Aluminum, this transducer CAN NOT be mounted in-hull. Refer to the Transom Mounting Instructions, or email us at support.norcrossmarine.com to inquire about exchanging the transducer. Since the hull absorbs acoustic energy, transmitting through hull...
- Page 13 Mounting Location “DONT’s” OTICE To deliver consistent, accurate readings, the transducer must have continuous supply non- turbulent water. Do not mount the transducer in an area of turbulence or bubbles. Never install the transducer where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
- Page 14 To get a good “view” of the mounting location, while the vessel is out of the water, position yourself at the transom and look at the bottom of the hull towards the bow. Using illustrations A thru I, note anything that could interrupt the clean flow of water to the transducer mounting location.
- Page 15 5. Remove the transducer from the water. Use one of the methods below to test the depth readings with the transducer at the desired in-hull location selected in Step 1. If the hull surface is not smooth, sand it with 30 grit sandpaper until a smooth surface is obtained.
- Page 16 11. DO NOT proceed to the next step until you are satisfied with the readings. If you have difficulties please visit our support website at support.norcrossmarine.com for technical assistance. STEP 3 Gluing the Transducer In Place All surfaces to be bonded must be smooth, clean and dry. If the hull surface is not smooth, sand it with 30 grit sandpaper until a smooth surface is obtained in an area a little larger in diameter than the length of the transducer.
- Page 17 Allow the adhesive to cure as per the manufacturer’s instructions. OTICE Try to align the transducer so that the point is aimed at the bow of the vessel. STEP 4 Routing the Cable 1. After the adhesive has cured, route the cable the mounting location of the depth sounder transducer plug.
- Page 18 OTICE If “---” appears on the display, make sure that there is at least 2.5 feet of water between the bottom of the transducer and the bottom of the water body. Also make sure that the Keel Offset feature is turned OFF. 3.
