[. . . ] If the prop(s) are forward of the transom, it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique should be considered. If possible, viewing the transom of the boat while the boat is moving will provide the best means of locating clean water, and if maximum high-speed operation is a high priority, this is the recommended method. If this is not possible, select an area on the transom where the hull forward of this location is smooth and free of protrusions or ribs. Another consideration is the angle of deadrise. [. . . ] Use a #3 Phillips screw diver to hand tighten the transducer assembly. Do not fully tighten the assembly at this time. Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom. Mount the transducer assembly to the transom using two wood screws and washers as shown. Do not fully tighten the mounting screws at this time. Drill and install the third screw only after final adjustments. Use silicone sealant to seal the drilled holes Washers & Screws Attaching the Bracket 3 The running position of the transducer is now completely adjustable. Subsequent adjustment RUNNING POSITION ADJUSTMENT may be necessary to tweak the installation after high speed testing. The mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment, the pivot screws allow angle adjustment. Use the supplied pivot angle template (2) for initial setting of the pivot angle to 3° to 5°. This template also sets the distance below the hull dependent on hull type. Additionally the template positions the bottom of the transducer ³/" for fiberglass and ³/" for aluminum hulls. Ensure that you cut the template for your type of hull. Hand tighten the assembly to a firm tightness for initial Hull testing. After the Humminbird unit is installed and the transducer installation is tested, it may be necessary to adjust the depth and/or running angle of the transducer. First adjust the depth below the hull in increments of ¹/". If the top of the bracket slots are reached and high speed operation is continuing to show gaps in the readout, adjust the running angle by moving the trailing end of the transducer down in increments of ¹/". Hand tighten the mounting screws, do not apply excess torque. The third and final mounting screw should not be installed until all adjustments have been finalized. After the final testing and adjustments have been completed use a /" (4mm) bit, drill a third hole at the top of the bracket and hand install the third mounting screw. The pivot bolt may need to be tightened again after the plastic has conformed to the pressures used for initial setup. The transducer cable has a low profile connector that must be routed to the point where the glass Hulls Cut and use for Fiber Align with transom. inum Hulls Cut and use for Alum Transducer bottom Place on bottom of hull Fiberglass Aluminum Transducer Running Angle ROUTING CABLE 5¹/" ¹/" Transducer Guide THE depthsounder is mounted. [. . . ] If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time to wet the transducer when returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may wipe the face of the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.
