Important Safety Information

WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the chartplotter product box for product warnings and other important information.

You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. Sonar is a tool that enhances your awareness of the water beneath your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of observing the water around your boat as you navigate.

CAUTION

Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions could result in damage or injury.

To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, you must install the Garmin® device according to these instructions.

Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go to support.garmin.com for more information.

Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor Shaft

Applying the Transducer Sticker

Choose one of the included stickers (Mounting

Considerations, page 1):

• If you stow your trolling motor with the propeller to the port

side, use the sticker labeled PORT SIDE.

• If you stow your trolling motor with the propeller to the

starboard side, use the sticker labeled STARBOARD SIDE.

Remove the sticker backing.

Apply the sticker to the transducer:

• If you are applying the PORT SIDE sticker, align the top of

the sticker with the top of the transducer .

• If you are applying the STARBOARD SIDE sticker, align

the bottom angle of the sticker with the bottom angle of the transducer .

Software Update

You must update the Garmin chartplotter and the LiveScope system software when you install this device.

If your chartplotter has Wi‑Fi® technology, you should update the software using the ActiveCaptain® app on a compatible Android or Apple® device.

If your chartplotter does not have Wi‑Fi technology, you should update the software using a memory card and a Windows® or Mac® computer.

For more information, refer to the chartlotter owner's manual.

Tools Needed

• Cable ties or electrical tape

• Included hex wrench

Mounting Considerations

• You should mount the transducer where it will not interfere while stowing the trolling motor.

• You should use the included rubber insert on a 25 mm (1 in.) trolling motor shaft.

• You may mount your transducer on either the starboard side or the port side of your trolling motor shaft.

• You must select the extension arm and sticker based on how you stow your trolling motor. If you stow your trolling motor with the propeller to the starboard side, use the extension arm labeled "S" and sticker labeled STARBOARD SIDE. If you stow your trolling motor with the propeller to the port side, use the extension arm labeled "P" and the sticker labeled PORT SIDE.

Installing the Shaft Bracket on the Trolling Motor Shaft

If the trolling motor shaft diameter is 25 mm (1 in.), use the

™

included rubber insert. Position the bracket on the shaft so the arrows point up.

Select an option to align either the "P" or "S" notch on the

bracket with the center of the trolling motor:

• If you stow your motor with the propeller to the port side, align the center of the trolling motor shaft with the "P" notch.

• If you stow your motor with the propeller to the starboard side, align the center of the trolling motor shaft with the "S" notch.

Use the included hex wrench and the M6 screws to attach

the two halves of the bracket around the trolling motor shaft.

Attaching the Extension Arm to the Transducer

Using the included hex wrench, attach the transducer to the

long side of the extension arm using the shoulder screw

, flat washer , and rubber washer .

Fully tighten the shoulder screw to secure the extension arm

to the transducer. The recommended torque applied to the shoulder screw is

2.5 lbf-ft. (3.4 N‑m).

Attaching the Transducer to the Shaft Bracket

Using the included hex wrench, attach the shorter part of the

extension arm to the shaft bracket using the shoulder screw , flat washer , and rubber washer .

Setting the Viewing Mode

After installation, you should adjust the position of the transducer to the desired viewing mode (Viewing Modes,

page 2).

Set the transducer orientation:

• From the GPSMAP® chartplotter, select Sonar > LiveScope > Menu > Sonar Setup > Installation > Orientation > Auto.

• From the ECHOMAP™ chartplotter, select Panoptix > LiveScope > Menu > Sonar Setup > Installation > Orientation > Auto.

Adjust the short side of the extension arm based on the

viewing angle:

• For the Down and Forward views, swing the extension arm to the side of the shaft, perpendicular to the shaft, aligning the center mark on the shaft bracket with the single indicator ridge on the extension arm.

• For the Perspective view, swing the arm down, parallel to the shaft, aligning the center mark on the shaft bracket with the double indicator ridges on the extension arm.

Rotate the transducer to align the indicator stripe on the

extension arm with the desired viewing mode indicated on the sticker.

Viewing Modes

Fully tighten the shoulder screw to secure the extension arm

to the shaft bracket. The recommended torque applied to the shoulder screw is

2.5 lbf-ft. (3.4 N‑m). The angle of the extension arm and transducer depends on

your desired view (Setting the Viewing Mode, page 2). Secure the transducer cable to the shaft or to another secure

location. A service loop in the transducer cable is required for optimal

operation. See the transducer installation instructions for more

information about securing the cable.

Verifying the Shaft Bracket Alignment

For best results, after installation you should verify that the shaft bracket is aligned properly.

With the trolling motor in the stowed position, adjust the

transducer to the Down/Forward view (Setting the Viewing

Mode, page 2).

While looking down the shaft toward the trolling motor, verify

that the side of the transducer is parallel to the side of the motor.

If adjustment is required, loosen the screws on the shaft

bracket, rotate the bracket, and tighten the screws.
