Installing the Transducer on a Transom
Assembling the Transom-Mount Hardware
1
Attach the transducer mount bracket
mounting screws
and lock washers
2
Attach the transducer mount bracket to the transom mount bracket
using the bolts
, flat washers
, and lock nuts
NOTE: The recommended torque applied to the screw is 15 lb-ft. (20 N-m).
NOTE: If the transducer causes excessive spray when mounted to the
transom, you can purchase a deflector to install between the transducer
and mount bracket. Go to buy.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer
for information about optional accessories.
Installing the Transom-Mount Hardware
NOTICE
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended
to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top
gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the
screws are tightened.
1
Place the transducer mount so the top of the transducer is under the
transom.
2
Using the transom mount as a template, mark the location of the pilot
holes.
3
Wrap a piece of tape around a 4 mm (
the point of the bit, to avoid drilling the pilot holes too deep.
4
If you are installing the bracket on fiberglass, place a piece of tape over the
pilot-hole location to reduce cracking of the gel coat.

If you must route the cable through the transom, choose a pilot-hole
location well above the waterline and mark it.

If you marked a pilot hole in step 8, use a 32 mm (1
a pass-through hole completely through the transom.

Route the transducer cable to the sonar module:
• If you are routing the cable using a pass-through hole, push it through
the hole you drilled in step 9.
• If you are not routing the cable using a pass-through hole, route the
cable up and over the top of the transom .
You should avoid routing the cable close to electrical wires or other
sources of electrical interference.

NOTICE
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through
only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer
when the screws are tightened.
NOTE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and
overtightened. It is recommended to apply an anti-seize lubricant to the screws
before installing them.
NOTE: Screws are included with the device, but they may not be suitable for
the mounting surface.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location and
determine what screws and other mounting hardware are needed for the
surface.
1
Place the device in the mounting location and mark the location of the pilot
holes.
2
Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3
Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one corner and
examine the other three pilot-hole marks.
4
Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the device from the
mounting surface.
5
Drill the remaining pilot holes.
6
Secure the device to the mounting location.
Blink Codes
After the sonar module is installed, it turns on when the chartplotter is turned
on. The color status LED on the sonar module indicates its operational status.
