4.1 Selecting a location for the transducer This product is supplied with a transom mount transducer. The guidelines below should be followed when selecting a location for the transducer. Note: The transducer is not suitable for mounting on vessels where the transom is aft of the propeller(s). For best performance the transducer must be installed in a location with the least turbulence and aeration.
4.2 Mounting the transducer 7. Lift up the transducer and pivot arm to access the mounting holes. The transducer must be mounted on the transom using the mounting bracket provided. The steps below describe the initial mounting steps required in order to test your transducers performance.
4.3 Cable routing The transducer position will be adjusted further during testing (see Testing the transducer). The cable must be routed to the desired location of the display. The cable can be routed through or over the transom. Note: The cable must be routed as far away from VHF radio antenna cables as possible to avoid interference.
4.4 Selecting a location for the display 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the display this far away from a compass. In this situation, the following figures provide the General location requirements minimum safe distance that should be maintained between the display and any compasses.
4.5 Bracket mounting Display and bracket dimensions The display can be mounted on a bracket. Before mounting the unit ensure that you have: • selected a suitable location. • installed the transducer and routed the power/transducer cable to the selected display location.
