2.2.1 How much room is needed?
There are three measurements needed to determine
the vertical height of the hull unit, seachest and
hoist assembly together.
1. Depth of keel at the location of the seachest.
The overall vertical height is the total length
of the seachest plus the hoist assembly on top. If
the boat has a keel then part of the seachest will
pass through the hull to the bottom of the keel.
This distance will reduce the vertical height needed
inside the boat.
2. Seachest length.
The seachest must be long enough for the
soundom to fit inside plus 1 1/2 (38mm) for protec-
tion when not in use. This becomes the minimum
length. the minimum length is different for the
following models:
Model: Minimum Length
SS395-E-160 21 in (53.3 cm)
SS395-H-160 24 in (61 cm)
SS395-E-110 22.5 in (57.2 cm)
SS395-H-110 25.5 in (67.8 cm)
SS395-E-60
SS395-H-60
3. Hoist length
The vertical length is different for the fol-
lowing models:
Model: Minimum Length
SS395-E-160 25.75 in (65.5 cm)
SS395-H-160 33 in (83.8 cm)
SS395-E-110 28.75 in (73 cm)
SS395-H-110 33 in (83.8 cm)
SS395-E-60
SS395-H-60
2.2.2 Seachest Location
For the best sonar performance avoid items in
front of the seachest that can create bubbles or
turbulence. Items such as zinc plates, cooling pipes,
sounder housings, water intakes or discharge ports
should NOT be in front of the seachest.
22.5 in (57.2 cm)
29.5 in (74.9 cm)
28.75 in (73 cm)
33 in (83.8 cm)
