Before any drilling or cutting takes place, carefully choose a
mounting location for the 490 that meets the following criteria:
•
where the transducer is more than four feet away from the
Northstar 961/962 or 957/958, to prevent mutual electrical
and magnetic interference
•
where the transducer cable is kept securely away from
other wires
•
where the path for running the required electrical cabling
is reasonably direct; keep in mind the different cable
lengths
•
where the 490 won't be exposed to water
