  • Page 1 D10D Model No. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL D11S – Surface Mount Digital Depth Sounder with Transom/Glue-In Transducer To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read this manual carefully before using this product. SAFETY INFORMATION: •...
  • Page 2 PARTS SUPPLIED IN PACKAGING The following parts should be included with the display: • Micro Depth Sounder Display • Digital Depth Sounder Module (DSM) with waterproof fuse housing and .25A, 250V fuse. • Surface Mount Bracket • (2) #2 x 3/8” Stainless Steel Screws •...
  • Page 3: Installing The Display

    • NON-CORED hulls or aluminum hulls thinner than 1/8”. • Inboard vessels that have a lot of running gear that creates significant turbulence. OTICE Glue-in mounting of the transducer is NOT suitable for all vessels. You MUST test the glue-in location on the water prior to using epoxy to permanently affix it to the hull.
  • Page 4 STEP 1 Mark & Drill the Holes 1. Find a location on the vessel that will allow clear viewing of the display. Keep in mind that the wires for the DSM must reach the mounting location of the display. 2. Lay the Display Mounting Bracket against the mounting locationand using a pencil, mark mounting holes 3.
  • Page 5 Using a pencil, mark the mounting holes in the Housing. Check behind the desired mounting location for any cables or wiring that could be damaged during drilling. You will have to supply your own screws, so make certain that the length of screw that you have chosen will not penetrate an undesirable location (through the bottom, side, top, etc of the vessel).
  • Page 6 STEP 3 Linking the System Wires 12 Volt Power Harness: (A) The system has an ON/OFF switch as well as an Auto Power-OFF feature. It is recommended that you connect the power harness to a constant power source such as a terminal block or directly to the battery.
  • Page 7 STEP 4 Testing the Display Installation Before continuing with your installation, you should test the unit to make sure the system wires are properly attached. Apply power to the unit by turning on the power source that you’ve attached the red and black wires to. Press and release the button on the display.
  • Page 8: Setting The Units Of Measure

    “OFF” is displayed on the display. The unit is now OFF. Auto OFF Feature - to help save your battery if you forget to turn the D11S OFF, the unit will automatically turn OFF if “---” is displayed on the LCD for 5 continuous minutes.
  • Page 9: Setting The Depth Alarm

    Audible and LCD Icon Alarm when the depth is less than the setting. To set the SHALLOW ALARM: 1. Press and release the button located on the front of the D11S display. The current alarm setting will be displayed on the display. "0" is the default setting and will turn the alarm “OFF”.
  • Page 10 Tools & Supplies Required for Installation • Power Drill • 5/8” (16 mm) drill bit, hole saw or spade bit • 1/8” (3 mm) drill bit • 9/64” (4 mm) drill bit • Marine Sealant/Caulk • 30 Grit Sandpaper • “Phillips”...
  • Page 11 STEP 1 Choosing a Mounting Location To obtain the best performance, the transducer should be mounted in a location where the water flow beneath the hull is aeration and turbulence-free. Try to mount the transducer as close to the centerline of the boat as possible. Consult the boat manufacturer best in-hull...
  • Page 12 Mounting Location “DONT’s” OTICE To deliver consistent, accurate readings, the transducer must have continuous supply non- turbulent water. Do not mount the transducer in an area of turbulence or bubbles. Never install the transducer where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
  • Page 13 STEP 2 Assembling the Transom Mount Bracket 1. With the Locking Tab in the up position, align the transducer and bracket, then slide the transducer into the Pivot Bracket until it cannot slide any further (minimal force is required) (illustration A). 2.
  • Page 14 4. The bracket is designed for a standard 13° transom angle. To determine if the plastic shim is needed, position the transducer at the desired location. Using a straight edge, compare the underside of the transducer relative to the underside of the hull. The stern (trailing edge) of the transducer should be 1/16"...
  • Page 15 STEP 4 Cable Routing Route the transducer cable over the transom, through a deck or splash-well drain hole or through a new hole drilled in the transom. If a new hole is required, it MUST be drilled well above the waterline. To Drill a Cable Pass Through: 1.
  • Page 16 OTICE If you need to increase the length of the transducer cable order part # 8000-90 from our website or toll free at 888-766-7276. Strip back the rubber cable cover 1” (28 mm) exposing the three internal wires (blue, white, and bare) on your transducer. Using a soldering iron, solder the blue, white and bare wires from the 8000-90 extension cable to the corresponding wires on your transducer.
  • Page 17 • Have someone run the boat on plane for you in smooth water. CAREFULLY look over the transom at the water flowing from the bottom of the boat over the base of the transducer. The water should be "Clean" with very little turbulence (air bubbles). If there are any air bubbles or turbulence seen passing underneath the transducer, move the transducer farther down on the transom bracket.
  • Page 18 STEP 1 Choosing a Mounting Location OTICE If your hull is not SOLID fiberglass or up to 1/8th” Aluminum, this transducer CAN NOT be mounted in-hull. Refer to the Transom Mounting Instructions, visit our Customer Service Center on our website, or call 888-766-7276 to inquire about exchanging the transducer. Since the hull absorbs acoustic energy, transmitting through hull...
  • Page 19 Mounting Location “DONT’s” OTICE To deliver consistent, accurate readings, the transducer must have continuous supply non- turbulent water. Do not mount the transducer in an area of turbulence or bubbles. Never install the transducer where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
  • Page 20 OTICE To get a good “view” of the mounting location, while the vessel is out of the water, position yourself at the transom and look at the bottom of the hull towards the bow. Using illustrations A thru I, note anything that could interrupt the clean flow of water to the transducer mounting location.
  • Page 21 5. Remove the transducer from the water. Use one of the methods below to test the depth readings with the transducer at the desired in-hull location selected in Step 1. If the hull surface is not smooth, sand it with 30 grit sandpaper until a smooth surface is obtained.
  • Page 22 11. DO NOT proceed to the next step until you are satisfied with the readings. If you have difficulties please visit our Customer Service Center on our website or call 888- 667-2767 for technical assistance. STEP 3 Gluing the Transducer In Place All surfaces to be bonded must be smooth, clean and dry.
  • Page 23 Allow the adhesive to cure as per the manufacturer’s instructions. OTICE Try to align the transducer so that the point is aimed at the bow of the vessel. STEP 4 Routing the Cable 1. After the adhesive has cured, route the cable the mounting location of the depth sounder transducer plug.
  • Page 24 OTICE If “---” appears on the display, make sure that there is at least 2.5 feet of water between the bottom of the transducer and the bottom of the water body. 3. Become familiar with the depth sounders function and performance at idle speeds.
