4.   Wrap the two ends of the cable tie around the motor 
body. Place the pointed end of the cable tie through 
the fastener hole on the opposite end and pull it 
through until it is snug but not tight. (The cable tie 
clicks when you pull it.)
5.  Position the transducer so that it is parallel with the 
bottom when in use, and make sure the gasket is 
aligned properly. Pull the cable tie end until tight. 
Trim off the excess, if necessary. Tighten the 10-32 
locking nut until it touches the mounting bracket and 
then tighten 1/4 turn more. (Do not overtighten.)
6.   Route the 20’ (6 m) transducer cable using the 
supplied cable ties to secure the cable to the motor 
shaft. You can fill the forward-facing portion (except 
the cable tie pocket) of the transducer mount with 
sealant to avoid accumulating debris.
Mounting the Transducer on a Transom
Tool List (not included)—drill, 3/8" wrench or socket, 
5/32" and 1/8" drill bits, masking tape, #2 Phillips 
screwdriver, and marine sealant.
When selecting a transom mount location, consider the 
following for optimal performance:
•  For your sonar to operate properly, the transducer 
must be located in calm water. DO NOT mount the 
transducer behind strakes, rivet lines, struts, fittings, 
water intake, discharge ports, eroding paint, or 
anything that creates turbulence.
•  Mount the transducer as close to the center of the boat 
as possible. 
•  DO NOT cut the transducer lead. (This voids your 
warranty.)
•  DO NOT mount the transducer in locations where it 
might be jarred when launching, hauling, trailering, 
or storage.
