1. e Fora forward facing transducer mounted on a transom mount the cables should be routed out of the transducer toward the transom Transducer Mounting Angle Considerations NOTICE The forward view mount is not rated for speeds over 40 km h 25 mph The internal attitude heading and reference system AHRS sensor detects the mounting angle of the transducer in relation to the water surface When the Use AHRS setting is turned off in the chartplotter installation menu it is assumed the transducer is mounted at a 45 degree angle and the down view transducer is mounted at a 0 degree angle e The higher the degree of the mounting angle and the more vertical the transducer the less a strong bottom echo interferes with viewing targets in the water To see more suspended targets you should mount the transducer at a higher degree more vertical angle To reduce rings that can appear with a strong bottom echo you should mount the transducer at a higher degree more vertical angle Installing the Transducer on a Transom Assembling the Transom Mount Hardware 1 Attach the transducer mount bracket to the transducer using four of the included 7 mm M4 mounting screws and M4 lock washers 2 Attach the transducer mount bracket to the transom mount bracket using the included 16 mm M8 bolts M8 flat washers and M8 lock nuts 3 Route the Ethernet cable to the installation location of the network2.

7. installation menu for an accurate display For the downward facing transducer adjust the mount so the transducer points straight down 7 For the forward facing transducer adjust the mount so the transducer points toward the front of the boat at an angle based on the transducer mounting angle considerations 8 For the forward facing transducer adjust the bolt tension to allow the mount to close if the transducer collides with an object oO N Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor Trolling Motor Mount Considerations e Placement of the transducer on a trolling motor depends on the type of trolling motor you have installed on your boat Check with your trolling motor manufacturer for information on the proper placement of your trolling motor mount e The transducer should be mounted on the shaft on most cable steered trolling motors because the motor may not be rugged enough to support the weight of the transducer and mount This mounting location blocks the view directly below the trolling motor but allows for a longer range forward view because there is less bottom interference Mounting the transducer on the shaft also offers more protection and the weight of the transducer and mounting hardware place less strain on the trolling motor system The transducer should not be mounted on the motor of some types of trolling motors because the transducer can damage the steering cables and bearings and it can hit the boat hul
8. l during deployment and retraction e The transducer can be mounted on the motor of some hand steered and wireless trolling motors but you must make sure you can safely deploy and retract the trolling motor with the transducer attached e On trolling motors with steering cables place the transducer as close to the center line of rotation as possible to decrease the resistance on the motor e Mount the transducer so it does not obstruct the motor from its storage cradle or prevent the motor from being stowed and deployed correctly Assembling the Trolling Mount Hardware 1 Attach the transducer mount bracket to the transducer using the included 7 mm M4 mounting screws and M4 lock washers 2 Attach the transducer mount bracket to the trolling mount bracket using the included 16 mm M8 bolts M8 flat washers and M8 lock nuts Attaching the Transducer to a Trolling Motor Shaft 1 Insert the hose clamps through the slots on the trolling motor mount 2 Slide the hose clamps around the trolling motor shaft Tighten the hose clamps 4 Secure the transducer cable to the shaft or other secure location 5 Route the Ethernet cable to the installation location of the network switch or to the back of the chartplotter NOTE The cable should not be routed close to electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference 6 Route the power cable to a 12 Vdc power source 7 Adjust t
9. ything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent e The transducer can place a significant strain on less rugged trolling motors Consider the weight and drag of the mounting hardware and transducer before mounting it on the trolling motor The transducer must be in clean non turbulent water for optimal performance e For optimal results mount the transducer as close to the center line as possible Mounting to one side can affect the handling of the boat e The transducer should not be mounted in a location where it might be jarred when launching hauling or storing e On single drive boats the transducer must not be mounted in the path of the propeller e On twin drive boats the transducer should be mounted between the drives if possible For the downward facing transducer the cables should be routed out of the transducer to the starboard side of the boat with the logo on the transducer facing the port side of the boat e The forward facing transducer should be mounted in a location that allows a view of the surface of the water in front of the boat e The forward facing transducer should be mounted in a location that is out of the water at speeds over 40 km h 25 mph e Fora forward facing transducer mounted on a trolling motor the cables should be routed out of the transducer toward the 190 01885 02_0A trolling motor downward if mounted on the shaft upward if mounted below the motor
