INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the
Important Safety and Product Information
guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
The device must be installed with at least one of the included
anti-rotation bolts. Failure to do so could result in the device
rotating while the boat is moving and could cause damage to
your vessel.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your
vessel. Sonar is a tool that enhances your awareness of the
water beneath your boat. It does not relieve you of the
responsibility of observing the water around your boat as you
navigate.
CAUTION
Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with
these instructions could result in damage or injury.
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your
boat, you must install the Garmin
®
transducer according to these
instructions.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation,
contact Garmin Product Support.

About the Transducer
The transducer transmits and receives sound waves through the
water, and relays sound-wave information to your Garmin sonar
device.
Mounting Location Considerations
•
On outboard and sterndrive vessels
, the transducer should
be mounted in front of and close to the engine or engines.
•
On inboard vessels
, the transducer should be mounted in
front of and far away from the engine propeller and shaft.
•
On step-hull vessels
, the transducer should be mounted in
front of the first step.
•
On full-keel vessels
, the transducer should be mounted at
a slight angle that aims at the bow, not parallel to the
centerline.
•
On fin-keel vessels
, the transducer should be mounted
from 25 cm to 75 cm (from 10 to 30 in.) in front of the keel
and a maximum of 10 cm (4 in.) to the side of the centerline.
•
On vessels with displacement hulls
, the transducer should
be mounted approximately
1
/
3
aft of the waterline length of
the vessel from the bow, and from 150 to 300 mm (from 6 to
12 in.) to the side of the centerline.
•
The transducer should be mounted parallel to the bow-stern
axis of your vessel.
•
The transducer should not be mounted behind strakes, struts,
fittings, water intake or discharge ports, or anything that
creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent.
The transducer must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for
optimal performance.
•
The transducer should not be mounted in a location where it
might be jarred when launching, hauling, or storing.
•
On single-drive boats, the transducer must not be mounted in
the path of the propeller.
The transducer can cause cavitation that can degrade the
performance of the boat and damage the propeller.
•
On twin-drive boats, the transducer should be mounted
between the drives, if possible.
