1.2 Installation of Antenna Unit

Mounting considerations

Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagr am on page D-3 or D- 4. When selecting a mounting loc ation for the ant enna unit , keep in mind the following poi nts:

•

Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruc t or prevent rece ption of the GPS s atellite signal.

•

The loc ation should be w ell away from a VHF antenna. A GPS receiver i s interfered by a harmonic wave of a VHF antenna.

•

There should be no interfering object w ithin the line-of-sight to the satelli tes. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellit e, for example, a mast , may block reception or prolong acquisition time.

•

Mount the antenna unit as high as possibl e. Mounting the ant enna unit as high as possible k eeps it fr ee of interfering objects and water spray, which can i nterrupt reception of GPS sat ellite signal if the water freezes .

•

If the antenna c able is to be p as s ed through a hole whic h is not large enough to pass the connector, you may unfasten the connector with a needle nos e pliers and 3/8-inch open-end wrench. Refasten it as s hown in the figure below after running the cable through the hole.

1.3 Installation of Transducers

Installing the inside-hull mount transducer

Necessary to ols

You will need the following tools:

• Sandpaper (#100)

• Silicone sealant

Remarks on instal lation

• 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 ribs 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. INSTALLATION

Installing the thru-hull mount transducer

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 planning hulls, a practical location is generally rather far astern, so that the transducer is always in water regardless of the planning attitude.

Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount transducer

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, faring 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.

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.

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.

1. INSTALLATION

Installing the transom mount transducer

This type of mounting is very commonly employed, usually on reactively 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).

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 require a certain amount of experimentation 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 thoroughly 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.

Note 1: Do not mount the sensor in an area of turbulence or bubbles: near water intake or

discharge openings; behind strakes, struts, fittings, or hull irregularities; behind eroding paint (an indication of turbulence).

Note 2: Avoid mounting the sensor where the boat may be supported during trailering,

launching, hauling, and storage.

Note 3: For single drive boat, mount on the starboard side at least 75 mm

(3”) beyond the swing radius of the propeller.
