Mounting considerations
Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram on page
D-3 or D-4. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit,
keep in mind the following points:
•Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.
•The location should be well away from a VHF antenna. A GPS
receiver is interfered by a harmonic wave of a VHF antenna.
•There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to
the satellites. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example,
a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time.
•Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna
unit as high as possible keeps it free of interfering objects and
water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal
if the water freezes.
•The length of the whip antenna for the GP-1650DF should be no
longer than 1.2 meter to prevent antenna damage. Do not use a 2.5
meter whip antenna.
•Do not shorten the antenna cable.
•If the antenna cable is to be passed through a hole which is not
large enough to pass the connector, you may unfasten the connector with a needle nose pliers and 3/8-inch open-end wrench. Refasten it as shown in Figure 1-4 after running the cable through the
hole.

1.3 Installation of Transducers
Installing the inside-hull mount transducer
Necessary tools
You will need the following tools:
•Sandpaper (#100)
•Silicone sealant
•Silicone grease
Remarks on installation
•Do the installation with the boat hauled out of the water.
•Turn off the engine while installing the equipment.
•Install the transducer in the engine room.
Selecting the mounting location
Keep the following points in mind when selecting a mounting location:
•The mounting location should be where the hull is of single-hull
thickness and is void of air or flotation materials other than solid
fiberglass between the transducer face and the water.
•Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribes which run
under the hull.
•Avoid a location where the rising angle of the hull exceeds 15°, to
minimize the effect of the boat’s rolling.
•You will finalize the mounting location through some trial and
error. The procedure for this is shown later.
1. Clean the transducer face to remove any foreign material. Lightly
roughen the transducer face with #100 sandpaper . Also, roughen
the inside of the hull where the transducer is to be mounted.
2. Warm the silicone sealant to 40°C before usage to soften it. Coat
the transducer face and mounting location with silicone sealant.

Transducer mounting location
This type of mounting provides the best performance of all, since the
transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and
turbulence neat the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a keel, the
transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it. Typical through
hull mountings are shown in the figure on the next page.
The performance of the video sounder is directly related to the mounting location of the transducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The
installation should be planned in advance, keeping the standard cable
length (8 m) and the following factors in mind:
•Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat seriously degrade the sounding capability of the transducer. The transducer should, therefore, be located in a position where water flow
is the smoothest. Noise from the propellers also adversely affects
performance and the transducer should not be mounted nearby.
The lifting strakes are notorious for creating acoustic noise, and
these must be avoided by keeping the transducer inboard of them.
•The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the
boat is rolling, pitching or up on a plane at high speed.
•A practical choice would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of
the boat's length from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical location is generally rather far astern, so that the transducer is always
in water regardless of the planing attitude.

Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount transducer
W
1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location selected
for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull.
2. If the hull is not level within 15° in any direction, fairing blocks
made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull,
both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face parallel with
the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown below and
make the entire surface as smooth as possible to provide an undisturbed flow of water around the transducer. The fairing block
should be smaller than the transducer itself to provide a channel
to divert turbulent water around the sides of the transducer rather
than over its face.

Figure 1-15 Construction of fairing block
3. Drill a hole just large enough to pass the threaded stuffing tube of
the transducer through the hull, making sure it is drilled vertically.
4. Apply a sufficient amount of high quality caulking compound to
the top surface of the transducer , around the threads of the stuffing tube and inside the mounting hole (and fairing blocks if used)
to ensure watertight mounting.
5. Mount the transducer and fairing blocks and tighten the locking
nuts. Be sure that the transducer is properly oriented and its working face is parallel to the waterline.
1-10
Note: Do not over-stress the stuffing tube and locking nuts through
excessive tightening, since the wood block will swell when the boat is
placed in the water. It is suggested that the nut be tightened lightly at
installation and retightened several days after the boat has been
launched.
Installing the transom mount transducer
This type of mounting is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an
inboard motor boat because turbulence is created by the propeller
ahead of the transducer.
There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls)
and projecting from hull (for deep V-hulls).

Figure 1-16 Transom mount transducer mounting locations
Installing the transom mount transducer flush with hull
(for flat hulls)
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the engine
and where the water flow is smooth.
1. Drill four pilot holes in the mounting location.
2. Attach the transducer to the bracket with tapping screws (supplied).
3. Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to the
seabed.
Note: If necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air
bubbles staying on the transducer face, incline the transducer
about 5
°
at the rear. This may requir e a certain amount of experi-
mentation for fine tuning at high cruising speeds.
4. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the transducer and transom with epoxy material to eliminate any air spaces.

Installing the transom mount transducer projecting from hull
(for deep-V hulls)
This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good performance because the effects of air bubbles are minimal. Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If the boat is
placed on a trailer care must be taken not to damage the transducer
when the boat is hauled out of the water and put on the trailer.

Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thor oughly with a detergent liquid soap. This will lessen the time necessary for the transducer to have good contact with the water. Otherwise
the time required for complete "saturation" will be lengthened and
performance will be reduced.
Do not paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.

The triducer is designed for thru-hull mounting.
