Mounting Considerations
The use of third-party or self-fabricated mounts could lead to transducer damage or loss. Damage or loss sustained when using a third-party or self-fabricated mount is not covered under warranty.
-
Perspective Mount (Installing the Transducer on the Perspective Mode Mount)
-
You can mount the transducer on the trolling motor shaft using the perspective view mount and bracket.
-
When using the perspective view bracket, the transducer can be used for perspective, downward, and forward views.
-
-
Barrel Mount (Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor Barrel)
-
You can mount the transducer on either side of the trolling motor barrel.
-
When mounted on the barrel, the transducer can be used for downward and forward views.
-
When mounted on the barrel, the transducer cannot be used for perspective view.
-
-
Shaft Mount (Installing the Transducer on the Trolling Motor Shaft )
-
You can mount the transducer on either side of the trolling motor shaft.
-
When mounted directly on the shaft, the transducer can be used for downward and forward views.
-
When mounted directly on the shaft, the transducer cannot be used for perspective view.
-
Mounting the transducer directly on the shaft allows a lower-profile installation than using the perspective-mount bracket.
-
When planning the installation, you should observe these considerations.
-
You must angle the transducer correctly for the selected view to work properly.
-
Installing the transducer with the included knobs allows for tool-free transitions between sonar views.
-
You can use the included low-profile hardware instead of the knobs for a more permanent transducer view position.
-
You should mount the transducer in a location where it will not be jarred when launching, hauling, or storing.
-
You must install the sonar module in a location with adequate ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme temperatures.
-
You should mount the sonar module in a location where the LEDs are visible, where the cables can be connected, and where the device will not be submerged.
