and ear protection when installing.
WARNING: When the boat is placed in the water,
immediately check for leaks around the screws and
any other holes drilled in the hull.
CAUTION: Never pull, carry, or hold the sensor by the
cable as this may sever internal connections.
CAUTION: Never strike the sensor.
CAUTION: Never use solvents. Cleaners, fuel, paint,
sealants, and other products may contain solvents
that can damage plastic parts.
IMPORTANT: Please read the instructions completely
before proceeding with the installation. These
instructions supersede any other instructions in your
instrument manual if they differ.

Pretest
Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin the paddlewheel.
Check for a speed reading and the approximate air temperature. If
there is no reading(s) or it is inaccurate, check the connections
and repeat the test. If there is still no reading(s) or it is inaccurate,
return the product to your place of purchase.
Mounting Location
CAUTION: Do not mount the sensor in line with or near water
intake or discharge openings or behind strakes, fittings, or hull
irregularities that may disturb the water flow.
CAUTION: Do not mount the sensor in a location where the boat
may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
• For the best performance, the sensor must be in contact with
smooth water. To identify an area of clean water, observe the
water flow off the transom while the boat is underway.
• Mounting on the side of the transom where the propeller blades
are moving downward is preferred.
• Mount the sensor as close to the centerline (keel) of the boat as
possible to ensure the sensor remains in the water when the
boat is turning.
• Single drive boat—Mount at least 75mm (3") beyond the
swing radius of the propeller (Figure 1).
• Twin drive boat—Mount the sensor between the drives.
• Stepped transom—Mount the sensor on the step.

CAUTION: To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the bit 22mm (7/8") from the point. CAUTION: Fiberglass hull—Minimize surface cracking by transom running the drill in reverse until the gelcoat is penetrated. NOTE: If the adjustable paddlewheel assembly separates from the bracket, refer to Figure 10 on page 4 to reassemble.
