Page 4: Installation
Installation Elite Series Installation This document covers the installation of the transducer and display unit installation, which includes connecting the unit to power and installing the unit on the bracket mount. Make sure you read all the installation instructions before drilling holes in your vessel. - Page 5 Installation A. Select a transducer location Good locations To function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the water at all times and in a location that has a smooth flow of water when the boat is moving. If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference caused by bubbles and turbulence may show on-screen as random lines or dots.
- Page 6 Installation Slide the transducer into the bracket and temporarily slide the bolt through the transducer bracket. Hold the transducer assembly against the transom. Look at the transducer from the side. If it is parallel to the ground, then the “A” position is correct. If the transducer can not be adjusted so its face is parallel to the ground, remove the transducer and ratchets from the bracket.
- Page 7 Installation D. Attaching the Transducer to the Transom Transom Adjust the transducer so its face is parallel with the ground and its center line is even with the bottom of the boat hull. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom.
- Page 8 Installation Shoot-thru-hull Skimmer and Pod transducer installation Before attempting any installation on boats with flotation material sandwiched within the hull, consult the boat manufacturer. In a shoot-thru-hull installation the transducer is epoxied to the inside of the boat hull. A transducer can not shoot through wood or metal hulls. Wood and metal hulls require either a transom mount or thru-hull installation.
- Page 9 Installation To use shoot-thru-hull installation: Sand the inside surface of the hull, where the transducer is to be epoxied, and the face of the transducer. Sand the hull until it is smooth to the touch. The sanded area should be about 1-1/2 times the diameter of the transducer.
- Page 10 Installation Trolling motor Skimmer and Pod Installation The TMB-S trolling motor bracket (Part No. 51-45) is an optional accessory and is available through LEI Extras at www.lei-extras.com. The TMB-S bracket is used to attach a one-piece bracket skimmer transducer to a trolling motor. The Pod transducer does not need a TMB-S trolling motor bracket to be installed on a trolling motor.
- Page 11 Installation Tighten the adjustable strap Adjustable strap securely to the trolling motor. Plastic ties (not Make sure there is enough slack included) in the transducer cable for the trolling motor to turn freely. Transducer cable Mounting display unit Before mounting the display unit mount, make sure there is nothing in the area that will obstruct the display unit when it is installed on the bracket.
