1.2 Installation of Antenna Unit (GP-1650DF only)
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.

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).
D
D>
50 cm
Flat Hull Deep V-hull
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.
Triducer 524ST-MSD, 525ST-MSD
The triducer is designed for thru-hull mounting.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location keep the following points in mind:
• Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat seri-
ously 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.

these must be avoided by keeping the transducer inboard of them.
• The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the

• 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

Ground
The display unit
contains several
CPUs. While they
are operating, they
radiate noise, which
can interfere with
radio equipment.
Ground the unit to
prevent interference. The grounding wire should be 1.25 sq or larger
and as short as possible. Connect the grounding wire to ship's ground
On a fiberglass boat, it is best to install a ground plate that measures
about 20 cm by 30 cm on the outside of the hull bottom to provide a
ground point. If this is not practical, the engine block can be used.
Also, the antenna unit GPA-018S(option) is required to ground with
IV-1.25 sq cable as short as possible.
CAUTION
Ground the equipment to
prevent electrical shock
and mutual interference.
.
Note: Use a “closed” lug to make the ground connection at the display unit. Do not use an “open-type” lug (
).

Extending antenna cable length
The standard cable is 10m long. For extension, in case of the GPA016, GP A-018S or GPA-019S, an antenna cable set of 30m or 50m is
available.
◆ Extension cable line-up
Fabricate the end of the antenna cable and attach the coaxial connector. Details are shown on next page.

Not recommended for boats with large or twin screw inboard motor.
• Bracket protects the sensor form frontal impact only
• Good operation up to 44kn (50MPH)
• Orients the sound beam vertically on hulls with a
deadrise angle up to 30°
• Adjusts to transom angles from 2-22°
Tools and Materials Needed
Scissors
Masking tape
Safety goggles
Dust mask
Electric drill
Drill bit for:
Bracket holes 4mm, #23, or 9/64”
Fiberglass hull chamfer bit (preferred), 6mm, or 1/4”
Transom hole 19mm or 3/4” (optional)
Cable clamp holes 3mm or 1/8”
Screwdrivers
Straight edge
Marine sealant
Pencil
Zip-ties
Water-based antifouling paint (mandatory in salt water).
Pre-test for Speed and Temperature
Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin the paddlewheel. Check
for a speed reading and the approximate air temperature. If there is no
reading, return the sensor to your place of purchase.
Mounting Location
To ensure the best performance, the sensor must be submerged in
aeration-free and turbulence-free water. Mount the sensor close to the
centerline of the boat. On slower heavier displacement hulls, positioning
it farther from the centerline is acceptable.
Allow adequate space above the bracket for it to release and rotate the
sensor upward (see Figure 1).
Caution: 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).
Caution: Avoid mounting the sensor where the boat may be supported
during trailering, launching, hauling, and storage.
• Single drive boat—Mount on the starboard side at least 75mm
(3”) beyond the swing radius of the propeller (see Figure 2).
• Twin drive boat—Mount between the drives.

Caution: Never Use Solvents!
Cleaners, gasoline, paint, sealants, and other products may contain
strong solvents such as acetone which can attack many plastics
dramatically reducing their strength.
Installation
Bracket
1. Cut out the installation template shown on the left.
2. At the selected location, position the template, so the arrow at the
bottom is aligned with the bottom edge of the transom. Being sure
the template is parallel to the waterline, tape it in place
(see Figure 3).
Warning: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
3. Using a 4mm, #23, or 9/64” bit, drill three holes 22mm (7/8”) deep
at the locations indicated. To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap
masking tape around the bit 22mm (7/8”) from the point.
Fiberglass hull—Minimize surface cracking by chamfering the
gelcoat. If a chamfer bit or countersink bit is not available, start
drilling with a 6mm or 1/4” bit to a depth of 1mm (1/16”).
4. If you know your transom angle—The bracket is designed for a
standard 13° transom angle.
11°-18° angle—No shim is required. Skip to “Adjusting”, step 3.
Other angles—The shim is required. Skip to “Adjusting”, step 2.
If you do not know the transom angle—Temporarily attach the
bracket and sensor to the transom to determine if the plastic shim is
needed.
5. Using the two #10 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws, temporarily screw
the bracket to the hull. Do not tighten the screws completely at this
time. Follow the instructions for “Attaching the Sensor to the
Bracket”, steps 1-4 before proceeding with “Adjusting”.

Adjusting
1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the sensor relative to
the underside of the hull. The stern of the sensor should be
1-3mm (1/16-1/8”) below the bow of the sensor or parallel to the
bottom of the hull (see Figure 5).
Caution: Do not position the bow of the sensor lower than the
stern because aeration will occur.

2. To adjust the sensor’s angle relative to the hull, use the tapered
plastic shim provided. If the bracket has been temporarily fastened
to the transom, remove it, Key the shim in place on the back of the
bracket.
2°-10° transom angle (stepped transom and jet boats)—Position
the shim with the tapered end down.
19°-22° transom angle (small aluminum and fiberglass boats)—
Position the shim with the tapered end up.
3. If the bracket has been temporarily fastened to the transom,
remove it. Apply a marine sealant to the threads of the two
#10 x 1-1/4” self tapping screws to prevent water seeping into the
transom. Screw the bracket to the hull. Do not tighten the screws
completely at this time.
4. Repeat step 1 to ensure that the angle of the sensor is correct.
Caution: Do not position the sensor farther into the water than
necessary to avoid increasing drag, spray, and water noise and
reducing boat speed.
5. Using the vertical adjustment space on the bracket slots, slide the
sensor up or down to provide a projection of 3mm (1/8”). Tighten
the screws (see Figure 6).

Cable Routing
Route the sensor cable over the transom, through a drain hole, or
thorough a new hole drilled in the transom above the waterline.
Caution: Never cut the cable or remote the connector; this will void the
warranty.
Warning: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1. If a hole must be drilled, choose a location well above the waterline.
Check for obstructions such as trim tabs, pumps, or wiring inside
the hull. Mark the location with a pencil. Drill a hole through the
transom using a 19mm or 3/4” bit (to accommodate the connector).
2. Route the cable over or through the transom.
3. On the outside of the hull secure the cable against the transom
using the cable clamps. Position a cable clamp 50mm(2”) above the
bracket and mark the mounting hole with a pencil (see Figure 6).
4. Position the second cable clamp halfway between the first clamp
and the cable hole. Mark this mounting hole.
5. If a hole has been drilled in the transom, open the appropriate slot
in the transom cable cover. Position the cover over the cable where
it enters the hull. Mark the two mounting holes.
6. At each of the marked locations, use a 3mm or 1/8” bit to drill a
hole 10mm (3/8”) deep. The prevent drilling too deeply, wrap
masking tape around the bit 10mm (3/8”) from the point.
7. Apply marine sealant to the threads of the #6 x 1/2” self-tapping
screw to prevent water from seeping into the transom. If you have
drilled a hole through the transom, apply marine sealant to the
space around the cable where it passes through the transom.
8. Position the two cable clamps and fasten them in place. If used,
push the cable cover over the cable and screw it in place.
9. Route the cable to the instrument being careful not to tear the cable
jacket when passing it though the bulkhead(s) and other parts of the
boat. To reduce electrical interference, separate the sensor
cable from other electrical wiring and “noise” sources. Coil any
excess cable and secure it in place with zip-ties to prevent damage.
10. Refer to your echosounder owner’s manual to connect the sensor
to the instrument.

Attaching the Sensor to the Bracket
1. If the retaining cover near the top of the bracket is closed, open it by
depressing the latch and rotating the cover downward
(see Figure 4).
2. Insert the sensor’s pivot arms into the slots near the top of the
bracket.
3. Maintain pressure until the pivot arms click into place.
4. Rotate the sensor downward until the bottom snaps into the
bracket.
5. Close the retaining cover to prevent the accidental release of the
sensor when the boat is underway.
