Installation

Mounting the Transducer

DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes,

struts, ﬁ ttings, water intake or discharge ports, or

anything that creates air bubbles or causes the

water to become turbulent. It is important that

the transducer be in calm, non-turbulent water for

optimal performance.

NOTICE: Both the Transom Mount Transducer

and the Speed Sensor must be installed sepa-

rately. These two sensors may not be combined.

Proper transducer installation is key to getting the best performance

from your new unit. If the transducer lead is too short, extension cables

are available from you GARMIN dealer. DO NOT cut the transducer lead

or any part of the transducer cable, as this will void your warranty. The

cable cannot be spliced and connected to any existing (GARMIN or non-

GARMIN) transducer cables.

Following are some tips and basic installation instructions for the

optional dual frequency transducer and speed sensor. Detailed installation

instructions are provided in the transducer kits.

Transom Mount Installation

Dual Frequency Transom Mount Transducer (with depth/temp).

Apply marine sealant to all

screw threads to prevent water

from seeping into the transom.

Transducer should extend 1/8" below

fiberglass hull or 3/8" below aluminum hull

Mount the transducer parallel with the bottom.

Mount the transducer cable cover

well above the waterline.

Make sure that the transducer is

below water level when the boat

is on plane at high speed

Do not mount transducer directly in the

path of the prop. The transducer can cause

cavitation that may degrade the boat's performance

and damage the prop.
