INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSOWNER’S GUIDE &

Follow the precautions below for optimal

product performance and to reduce the risk of

property damage, personal injury, and/or death.

WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust

mask when installing.

WARNING: Immediately check for leaks when the boat

is placed in the water. Do not leave the boat unchecked

for more than three hours. Even a small leak may allow

considerable water to accumulate.

WARNING: Retractable models—The O-rings must

be intact and well lubricated to make a watertight seal.

WARNING: Retractable models—Always attach the

safety wire to prevent the sensor insert or blanking

plug from backing out in the unlikely event that the cap

nut fails or is screwed on incorrectly.

CAUTION: Never pull, carry, or hold the sensor by its

cable; this may sever internal connections.

CAUTION: Never use a fairing with a plastic housing;

the protruding sensor would be vulnerable to damage

from impact.

CAUTION: The arrow on the top of the transducer

insert and the flange of the housing must point forward

toward the bow.

CAUTION: Never use solvents. Cleaner, fuel, sealant,

paint, and other products may contain solvents that can

damage plastic parts, especially the transducer’s face.

IMPORTANT: Please read the instructions completely

before proceeding with the installation. These

instructions supersede any other instructions in your

instrument manual if they differ.
