Read this section carefully before attempting the installation. Determine
which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Remember, the
transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation.
Location - General
1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of
water at all times. If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of
water, interference will show on the sonar’s display in the form of ran-
dom lines or dots whenever the boat is moving.
2. The transducer should be installed with it’s face pointing straight down,
if possible.
3. Make certain the transducer’s location doesn’t interfere with the trailer
or hauling of the boat. Also, don’t mount it closer than approximately
one foot from the engine’s lower unit. This will prevent cavitation inter-
ference with the propeller. Typically, the transducer should be mounted
as deep in the water as possible. This increases the chance that it will
be in the water in high speed and reduces the possiblity of air bubble
interference.

4. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the
boat. Electrical interference from VHF radio, engine wiring, bilge pumps,
and areators can be displayed on the sonar’s screen. Use caution when
routing the transducer cable around these wires.
