The following diagram is for mounting the transducer included with the GPSMAP 292/298 with transducer package. If the transducer lead 

is too short, extension cables are available from your 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.

  NOTE: DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake, or discharge ports, or anything that creates air bubbles or 

causes the water to become turbulent. It is important that the transducer is in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance.

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.

Make sure that the transducer is

below water level when the boat 

is on plane at high speed

Apply marine sealant to all
screw threads to prevent water
from seeping into the transom.

Mount the transducer cable cover
well above the waterline.

Transducer should extend 1/8" below
fiberglass hull or 3/8" below aluminum hull

OK

Mount the transducer parallel with the bottom.
