Furuno 165T/265LH Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

OWNER'S GUIDE & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cavity or Welded-tank Mount:
Multi-beam Sonar & Depth Transducer
Chirp Models: CM548, CM549LHW
Furuno: 165T/265LH-PM488 &
WARNING: The transducer must be professionally installed
using accepted practices. The cavity or welded tank must
be strong and watertight to reduce the risk of property
damage, personal injury, and/or death.
Follow the safety precautions below for optimal
product performance and to reduce the risk of
property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and
ear protection when installing.
WARNING: Use marine sealant to seal the hull and hold
the transducer firmly in place. When the boat is underway,
especially at high speeds, water will enter any gaps and
push against the transducer with considerable force.
WARNING: A faceplate is required to secure the
transducer to the hull. When the boat is underway,
especially at high speeds, water will push against the
transducer with considerable force.
WARNING: Immediately check for leaks when the boat is
placed in the water. Do not leave the boat unchecked for
more than three hours. Even a small leak may allow
considerable water to accumulate.
CAUTION: Always operate the transducer in water.
Operating in air will allow the transducer to overheat
resulting in failure.
CAUTION: Do not install in the engine compartment or
other hot place. The transducer may fail if it overheats.
CAUTION: The transducer must be flush with the bottom
of the hull for good performance.
CAUTION: Never pull, carry, or hold the transducer by the
cable. This may sever internal connections.
CAUTION: Never strike the transducer.
CAUTION: Never power sand or pressure wash the
transducer. It may weaken the structure or damage the
internal components.

manual if they differ.
