2 Transducer Installation Some of the models covered by this manual have a transom-mount transducer included. The following are installation instructions for this transducer. The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does “kick- up”, the bracket can ea[...]

3 Shoot-thru-hull v.s. Transom Mounting Typically, shoot-thru-hull installations give excellent high speed opera- tion and good to excellent depth capability. There is no possibility of damage from floating objects. It can't be knocked off when docking or loading on the trailer. However, the shoot-thru-hull installation does have its drawbacks[...]

4 2. Slide the transducer between the two ratchets. T emporally slide the bolt though the transducer assembly and hold it against the transom. Looking at the transducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust so that its face is parallel to the ground. If it does, then the “A” position is correct for your hull. If the transducer ’s face[...]

5 CAUTION! CLAMP THE TRANSDUCER CABLE TO TRANSOM NEAR THE TRANSDUCER. THIS WILL HELP PREVENT THE TRANSDUCER FROM ENTERING THE BOAT IF IT IS KNOCKED OFF AT HIGH SPEED. GOOD LOCATION POOR ANGLE POOR LOCATION GOOD LOCATION TRANSOM SIDE VIEW 4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel to th[...]

6 5. Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown above. At- tach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or down until it’s aligned properly on the transom as shown above. T ighten the bracket’s mounting screws. Adjust the transducer so that it’ s p[...]

7 SHOOT-THRU-HULL The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an area that does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglass layers. The sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. A success- ful transducer installation can be made on hulls with flotation materials (such as plywood, balsa wood, or foam) between[...]

Do not mix it too fast, as it will cause bubbles to form in the epoxy. (NOTE! Use only the epoxies specified on the inside front cover of this manual! Failure to use one of these epoxies may result in poor s[...]

9 TRANSDUCER AIMED TOO FAR FORWARD hull. Place the transducer into the epoxy, twisting and turning it to force any air bubbles out from under the transducer face. The face of the transducer should be parallel with the hull, with a minimum amount of epoxy between the hull and transducer. After the epoxy dries, route the cable to the sonar unit. Fish[...]

10 3 amp FUSE 12 VOLT BATTERY BLACK WIRE RED WIRE TO SPEED/TEMP SENSOR (X-39 and X-49 ONLY) POWER CONNECTIONS - All units This unit works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the bes[...]

11 Bracket Installation You can install the sonar unit on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional IDA-3 mounting kit.
