epoxy glue. Do not use any other type of adhesive, including silicone
or RTV adhesive.
Installation Notes – Trolling Motor Transducer
Detailed instructions for this installation will be included with the
transducer. This type of transducer is attached to the horizontal gear
case of the trolling motor. The installation is simple, but is important to
keep the transducer away from the wash from the propeller, and from
turbulence caused by parts of the hull.
Installation Notes – Transducer for Speed and
Temperature Only
This type of transducer may be used with a thru-hull transducer which
reads depth only. The speed/temperature transducer is attached to the
transom of the boat. Detailed instructions for this installation will be
included with the transducer. The cable for this transducer uses a "Y"
connector. See the notes on "Installing the Transducer Cable."
EMC Installation Guidelines
When different types of marine electronic equipment are mounted
closely together in a tight space, they may interfere with each other. The
design and manufacture of this unit follow industry standards for
"Electromagnetic Compatibility" (EMC). However, it is important to
install the unit correctly to ensure the best possible performance. Below
is a list of some of the factors which could affect the operation of the
product. Some of these factors may affect the way you install the
Fishfinder and the wiring cables.
• Place the display unit and the power and signal cables at least 3 ft
(1m) from any equipment transmitting radio signals, or any cables
carrying radio signals. This includes VHF radios, cables and
antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be
increased to 7 ft (2m).
• Allow a space of at least 7 ft (2m) from the path of a radar beam.
Normally, a radar beam will spread about 20° above and below the
radiating element.
• The power for the display unit should be supplied from a different
battery than the one used to start the engine. If the voltage to the
Fishfinder unit drops below +10.7V DC, this could cause the unit to
reset. This will not damage the equipment, but it may cause the loss
