4) DO NOT locate the transducer in the extreme bow of the
boat where it will be subject to intense turbulence as the
boat pounds through the water.
5) DO NOT locate the transducer directly behind any hull
protrusion which will cause the water to be turbulent when
it reaches the transducer or which will obstruct the
transducer's forward looking view. For displacement-hull
power and sail boats, the thru-hull installation is usually
required.
6) DO NOT force the cable by pulling on it. This may
cause damage to the internal transducer wiring.
DANGER: DO NOT allow any solvents, i.e. gasoline,
acetone, to come in contact with the transducer or head unit
as this may dissolve the plastic material.
Transom Transducer Kick-Up Bracket
The transom transducer is attached to the boat with a heavy-
duty stainless steel kick-up bracket to provide protection
against impact. When the transducer strikes an object, or
the water force exceeds the resistance of the bracket, the
transducer automatically kicks up and becomes non-
operational. The bracket does not automatically reset at
lower speeds. The transducer must be manually returned to
its operational position.
The transducer is designed to kick up at speeds between 35
and 40MPH (30-35 knots). We do not recommend transom
mount transducers on boats that regularly exceed 35MPH
(30 knots). Boats that exceed 40MPH (35knots) cannot
use transom mounted transducers, but must use thru-
hull transducers.
Special Note: The kick-up feature is designed as a safety
consideration to prevent the transducer from being removed
from the boat due to impact or excessive speed. The kick-
up bracket is not designed for repeated kick-up or to be
pulled up manually during loading and unloading from boat
trailers. Tests have shown that the bracket can kick-up as
many as 30 times before there is a negative effect on the
bracket. Repeated kick-up will cause the transducer to
kick-up at progressively lower speeds. Excessive kick-ups
can cause the transducer bracket to fail. Brackets that fail
due to repeated kick-up are not covered under warranty.
If the transducer must be kicked up for installation, boat
service or loading, the nylok nut on the end of the bracket
axle can be loosened. Tighten the nut to 50 inch pounds of
torque before operating the boat.
