Further, it is highly recommended that you keep power off while you're performing the installation. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur. Be sure to ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and mutual interference. Be sure the transducer outputs are tied together before handling to avoid electrical charge build-up. Be sure to use a 5 Amp fuse. Using the incorrect fuse can result in fire or damage to the Network Sounder Mounting the transducer requires drilling holes through the hull; make sure the installation does not cause the vessel to leak. A thru-hull installation should be performed by a professional installer. Do not attempt this unless you are fully qualified. [. . . ] The case and cables are waterproof to IPX6.
