The transducer supplied with the DF1000D is suitable for installation and operation on most boats. For optimal perform-
ance the transducer should be mounted to the transom of the boat as per the installation instructions supplied with the
transducer installation instructions. On fiberglass hulls (non-cored) and some aluminum hulls it can be glued to the inside
of the hull, but this type of installation will reduce the performance of the DF1000D slightly.
Some boats may require a specialized transducer. If after completely reviewing the transducer installation instructions supplied with
the transducer you find that the supplied transducer is not appropriate for your vessel, please contact NMP at 888-667-2767, or visit
us on the internet at www.norcrossmarine.com for exchange information. You may exchange your new and unused transducer for
another type, but keep in mind that some transducers may have additional costs.

NSTALLATION
Installation of the DF1000D Display
1. Find a location on the boat that will allow clear viewing of the LCD Display. Please
keep in mind that the wires for the transducer and power must reach the mounting
location.
2. After finding the right location for the display, mark a 2-inch hole.
3. Check behind the desired mounting location for any cables or wiring which could be
damaged, then cut out the 2-inch hole and seal any exposed wood with a marine
sealant.
4. Insert the display from the front of the panel, and install the bracket and locking nut
from the rear of the panel (see Figure 1). Make sure that the face of the display is
rotated upright and aligned to your satisfaction for easy viewing from the vessel's
helm.
The DF1000D can also be surface mounted using NMP's exclusive MB01 Adjustable
Surface Mount Bracket (see Figure 2). Please see your local retailer, or contact NMP's
by phone 888-667-27637 , or online at: www.norcrossmarine.com for purchase
information. You must attached the extension rod to the mounting stud on the back of
the DF1000D display before inserting the display into the MB01.

To reset the alarm repeat step 1 thru 4. Setting the Keel Offset The Keel Offset feature is used to adjust the depth readings displayed by the DF1000D to compensate for the depth of the water required for your ves- sel to operate safely. - Page 4 Helpful Hints for Transducer Installation (In-Hull Mounting) 1. The hull must be made out of solid fiberglass or a maximum 1/8” (3 mm) aluminum. The unit will not work through wood, plastic, or any other com- posite material. 2. The glue in location must be in direct contact with the water at all times during operation. The transducer CAN NOT be mounted in any area where the water flow is interrupted by propeller turbulence or aerated water.

If the vessel is left in saltwater for extended periods of time, all components of the transducer below the waterline must be painted with WATER BASED antifouling paint. • Never use ketone-based paint, as this type of paint can damage to the transducer’s plastic shell. •...

Selecting the Adhesive Use a viscous slow-cure epoxy or a fairly rigid, one part adhesive sealant. In cold climates, a one-part polyurethane adhesive, such as Boat-Life’s Life Seal‚ may be best. Do not use “5 minute” epoxies because they are generally brittle. RTV (silicone) adhesives (Weather Sealants, “Rubbery” Caulks, 3M 5200, etc) are not recommended because most of the sound energy is lost. - Page 9 Drill Mounting Holes Here Align Arrow Tip w/ Bottom of Boat This Line Parallel To Vessel’s Waterline...
