Drill the Mounting Holes

1. Loosen the gimbal knobs and remove the control head from the gimbal bracket.

2. Place the gimbal bracket in the chosen position on the mounting surface and mark the four outer screw locations using a pencil or center punch (see the illustration Gimbal Bracket: Mounting Holes). Confirm the front of the bracket is facing forward.

NOTE: The outer mounting holes are recommended. You may use the interior mounting holes if necessary.

3. Set the gimbal bracket aside. Select an appropriately sized drill bit for the #10 wood screws and drill four pilot screw holes.

NOTE: When drilling holes in fiberglass, start with a smaller bit and use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping the outer coating.

4. Mark and drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) diameter hole that will allow you to run the cables close to the mounting bracket. This hole should be centered approximately 2 to 4 inches (50.8 to 101.6 mm) from the back of the control head.

NOTE: Your installation may require additional cable holes. Mark and drill up to four holes according to the instructions in step 4.

5. Insert the plastic cable grommets (included) to smooth the hole edges and prevent damage to the cables.

INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER

Review the transducer installation options and the transducer mounting requirements in the following sections. Then proceed to the

nstallation section for your transducer type as follows:

i

• DualBeam PLUS Transducer

• Side Imaging Transducer

NOTE: If the included transducer will not work for your application, you can exchange it, NEW and UNASSEMBLED, with the transducer

mounting hardware included, for a transducer appropriate for your application. This offer applies to the DualBeam PLUS transducer only. Visit humminbird.com for more information or call Customer Service at 1-800-633-1468.

TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Your ONIX control head includes either a DualBeam PLUS transducer or a Side Imaging transducer. Depending on your transducer type, there are diﬀerent options available for mounting the transducer on the boat. Review the transducer installation options below.

Transom Transducer Installation

Available for the DualBeam PLUS transducer and the Side Imaging transducer.

Your transducer includes the transom mounting hardware. See Transom Transducer Installation for additional information.

In-Hull Transducer Installation

Available for the DualBeam PLUS transducer only.

In-hull mounting generally produces good results in single thickness, ﬁberglass-hulled boats. See DualBeam PLUS Inside the Hull Installation for installation instructions.

Humminbird cannot guarantee depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the hull of the boat, since some signal loss occurs. The amount of loss depends on hull construction and thickness, as well as the installation position and process.

NOTE: This installation requires slow-cure two-part epoxy. Do not use silicone or any other soft adhesive to install the transducer, as this material reduces the sensitivity of the unit. Do not use five-minute epoxy, as it has a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged, thus reducing signal strength.

NOTE: The integral temperature probe will not work with in-hull mounting, so you may want to consider purchasing a Temperature/Speed accessory, a Temp Sensor, or obtaining a different transducer.

Transom Transducer Installation

In-Hull Transducer Installation

NOTE: In-hull mounting requires an installed and operational control head.

Trolling Motor Transducer Installation

Available for the DualBeam PLUS transducer and the Side Imaging transducer.

You can purchase a Trolling Motor Adapter kit that will allow you to mount the transducer on the trolling motor. If you already have a trolling motor bracket, refer to the separate installation instructions that are included with the bracket.

NOTE: Visit our Web site at humminbird.com for more information, or call Customer Service at 1-800-633-1468 for details and pricing.

TRANSOM TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION

Your ONIX control head includes transom mounting hardware for your DualBeam PLUS or

ide Imaging transducer. Review the mounting requirements in this section, and then proceed

S to the section for your transducer type to begin the installation.

NOTE: Due to the wide variety of hulls, only general instructions are presented in this installation guide. Each boat hull represents a unique set of requirements that should be evaluated prior to installation. It is important to read the instructions completely and understand the mounting guidelines before beginning installation.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The transom mount installation provides the following:

• Least loss of signal since the transducer is mounted outside the hull.

• Allows adjustment of both running angle and depth after the transducer is mounted, which enables you to tune the installation

for best results.

• The mounting hardware is designed to pivot the transducer body out of the way should the boat strike debris in the water, or when trailering.

TRANSOM TRANSDUCER MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

You must first determine the best location on the transom to install the DualBeam PLUS or Side Imaging transducer. Review the following information to help you identify the best mounting location.

Turbulence

It is very important to locate the transducer in an area that is relatively free of turbulent water. Consider the following to find the best location with the least amount of turbulence:

Turbulence: As the boat moves through the water, turbulence is generated by the weight of

the boat and the thrust of the propeller(s) - either clockwise or counterclockwise. This turbulent water is normally confined to areas immediately aft of ribs, strakes, or rows of rivets on the bottom of the boat, and in the immediate area of the propeller(s).

Propellers: Clockwise propellers create more turbulence on the port side. On outboard or

inboard/outboard boats, it may be best to locate the transducer at least 15" to the side of the propeller(s). The Side Imaging transducer has additional mounting requirements. See the section Side Imaging Transducer Mounting Requirements.

If the transom is behind the propeller(s), it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a diﬀerent mounting technique or transducer type should be considered.

Find a turbulence-free location that is not in line with trailer bunks or rollers.

Transom Transducer Installation

rib

Observation: The best way to locate turbulence-free water is to view the transom while the boat is moving. This method is

recommended if maximum high-speed operation is a high priority. If this is not possible, select a location on the transom where the hull forward of this location is smooth, flat, and free of protrusions or ribs.

Boat Characteristics

Stepped Hulls: On boats with stepped hulls, it may be possible to mount the transducer on the step. Do not mount the transducer on

he transom behind a step to avoid popping the transducer out of the water at higher speeds. The transducer must

t remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar signal.

Trailering: If you plan to trailer your boat, do not mount the transducer too close to trailer bunks or rollers to avoid moving or

damaging the transducer during loading and unloading of the boat.

High-Speed Operation

DualBeam PLUS Transducer

Traveling over 65 mph with the transducer in the water is not recommended for the 200/50 kHz DualBeam PLUS transom mount transducer (XNT 14 74 T), as damage might occur. If high-speed operation is critical, you may want to consider using an inside the hull transducer instead of this transom mount transducer (see DualBeam PLUS Inside the Hull Installation).

Side Imaging Transducer

Side Imaging sonar is best performed at boat speeds from 2 to 6 mph, and is not recommended for high-speed operation as gaps between strips of information can appear. However, the transducer can support traditional 2D sonar and Down Imaging sonar at higher speeds (up to 65 mph).

NOTE: The Side Imaging transducer has additional mounting requirements. See the section Side Imaging Transducer Mounting Requirements.

NOTE: If you require a high-speed application (above 65 mph) and cannot find a transom mount location that will work for your boat hull, a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. See the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section of our Web site at humminbird.com or call Customer Service at 1-800-633-1468.

Deadrise

DualBeam PLUS Transducer

The hydrodynamic shape of your transducer allows the beam elements to point straight down without deadrise adjustment.

Side Imaging Transducer

In order for the side beams to be displayed accurately, the transducer must be mounted parallel with the waterline. This positioning allows the beam elements to point straight down without deadrise adjustment.

Prepare the Mounting Location

In this procedure, you will determine the mounting location and drill two mounting holes, using the transducer mounting bracket as a guide.

1. Confirm you have read the transducer mounting requirements under Transom Transducer Mounting Requirements.

2. Make sure that the boat is level on the trailer, both from port to starboard and from bow to stern, by placing your level on the deck of the boat, first in one direction, then in the other.

3. Hold the mounting bracket against the transom of the boat in the location you have selected. Align the bracket horizontally using the level. Make sure that the lower corner of the bracket does not protrude past the bottom of the hull, and there is at least 1/4" clearance between the bottom of the bracket and the bottom of the transom for fiberglass boats, and 1/8" clearance for aluminum boats.

NOTE: If you have a flat-bottomed aluminum boat, some additional adjustment may be needed to accommodate the rivets on the bottom of the boat (in other words, the gap may need to be a little smaller than 1/8"). This will help you to avoid excessive turbulence at high speeds.

Positioning the Mounting Bracket

Level

Boat Hull Types Require

Different Mounting Positions

NOTE: If your propeller moves clockwise as the boat moves forward (as you're facing the

stern of the boat from behind), mount the transducer on the starboard side, and align the bottom right corner of the mounting bracket with the bottom of the boat. If your propeller moves counterclockwise as the boat moves forward (as you're facing the stern of the boat from behind), mount the transducer on the port side, and align the bottom left corner of the mounting bracket with the bottom of the boat.

4. Continue to hold the bracket on the transom of the boat, and use a pencil or marker to mark where to drill the two mounting holes. Mark the drill holes near the top of each slot, making sure that your mark is centered in the slot, as shown in the illustration.

NOTE: The third hole should not be drilled until the angle and height of the transducer is finalized, which you will not do until a later procedure.

5. Make sure that the drill bit is perpendicular to the actual surface of the transom, NOT parallel to the ground, before you drill. Using a 5/32" bit, drill the two holes only to a depth of approximately 1".

NOTE: On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.

Assemble the Transducer and Initial Mounting

In this procedure, you will assemble the transducer using the hardware provided, then mount it and make adjustments to its position

ithout locking it in place.

w

NOTE: You will initially assemble the transducer and the pivot arm by matching the two ratchets to a numbered position on the transducer knuckle. Further adjustments may be necessary.

Determine Your Transom Angle

1a. If you already know your transom angle, refer to the chart below for the initial position to use to set the ratchets. If your transom

is angled at 14 degrees (a common transom angle for many boats) use position 1 for the ratchets. In either case, go to step 2.

or...

1b. If you do not know your transom angle, measure it using a plumb line (weighted nylon string

or monofilament line) exactly 12 inches long. Hold the top of the plumb line against the top of the transom with your finger, and wait until the line hangs straight down. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the bottom of the plumb line to the back of the transom, then use the chart. Refer to the illustration, Measuring the Transom Angle, for more information.

NOTE: It is important to take your measurement in the location shown in the Measuring the Transom Angle illustration, from exactly 12 inches down from the top of the transom.

Assemble the Transducer

2. Place the two ratchets, one on either side of the transducer knuckle, so that the beads on each ratchet line up with the desired position number on the knuckle. If you are setting the ratchets at position 1, the beads on each ratchet will line up with the rib on the transducer knuckle to form one continuous line on the assembly.

NOTE: The ratchets are keyed. Make sure that the square teeth on each ratchet face the square teeth on the transducer knuckle, and the triangular teeth face outward.

3. Hold the ratchets on the transducer knuckle with one hand and fit the pivot arm over them until it snaps into place with the other hand. Refer to the illustrations below.

9. Adjust the transducer assembly vertically, until the seam on the leading edge of the transducer (the edge closest to the transom of the boat) is level and just slightly below the hull.

NOTE: The transducer has a natural downward slant of 4 to 5 degrees from leading edge (closest to the boat transom) to trailing edge (farthest away from the boat). Looking at

he back of the transducer, the seam should be slightly below the bottom of the hull.

t

10. Continue to adjust the transducer assembly until the bracket is also level from port to starboard (horizontally level as you look at the transducer from behind the boat).

11. Mark the correct position on the transom by tracing the silhouette of the transducer mounting bracket with a pencil or marker.

In-hull mounting generally produces good results in single thickness, ﬁberglass-hulled boats. Humminbird cannot guarantee depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the hull of the boat, since some signal loss occurs. The amount of loss depends on hull construction and thickness, as well as the installation position and process.

This installation requires slow-cure two-part epoxy. Do not use silicone or any other soft adhesive to install the transducer, as this material reduces the sensitivity of the unit. Do not use five-minute epoxy, as it has a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged, thus reducing signal strength.

NOTE: The integral temperature probe will not work with in-hull mounting, so you may want to consider purchasing a Temperature/Speed accessory, a Temp Sensor, or obtaining a different transducer.

NOTE: In-hull mounting requires an installed and operational control head.

Determine the Transducer Mounting Location

Decide where to install the transducer on the inside of the hull. Consider the following to ﬁnd the best location:

• Observe the outside of the boat hull to ﬁnd the areas that are mostly free from turbulent ater. Avoid ribs, strakes, and other protrusions, as these create turbulence (see Areas

w of Possible Turbulence).

• As a general rule, the faster the boat can travel, the further aft and closer to the centerline

of the hull the transducer has to be located in order to remain in contact with the water at high speeds (see Preferred Mounting Area).

You will not be able to adjust the mounting after an inside the hull transducer is installed. It is best, therefore, to perform a trial installation ﬁrst that includes running the boat at various speeds, in order to determine the best mounting area before permanently mounting the transducer.

1. Plug the transducer into the control head, then power up the control head. If the unit does not power-up, confirm that the cable connectors are properly connected and that power is available.

2. Setup Guide: See the section Setup Guide for initial start up instructions. You must complete the steps indicated in the Setup Guide before starting normal operation.

NOTE: After completing the Setup Guide, the control head will automatically enter normal operation.

3. Press the HOME key .

4. Select a sonar view from the Favorites bar to display on-screen.

NOTE: See your control head operations manual for more information about selecting views.

5. View the sonar signal at its best by holding the transducer over the side, immersed in the water, so that it is pointing straight down over a known ﬂat bottom. Use the display to benchmark against the sonar signal that will be detected once the transducer is placed in the hull.

hull

6. Place the transducer body face down at the identiﬁed mounting location inside the hull, with the pointed end towards the bow (see In-Hull Transducer Installation).

7. Fill the hull with enough water to submerge the transducer body. Use a sand-ﬁlled bag or other heavy object to hold the transducer in position. The transducer cannot transmit through air, and the water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull, and ﬁlls any voids in the coarse ﬁberglass surface.

8. View the sonar signal on the display and compare against what was observed in Step 5, making sure that the boat is in the same location as it was during your observations in Step 5. If the results are comparable, move on to Step 9. Otherwise, locate a new position in the hull and repeat Steps 6 through 8.

9. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the control head. If depth performance is required, test the transducer in water at the desired depth. If the performance is acceptable, move on to Step 10. If the performance is not acceptable, repeat Steps 6 through 9.

10. Once you have determined the best mounting location using the above steps, mark the position of the transducer.

2. You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this procedure.

3. Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to provide a smooth mounting surface.

4. Mix an ample quantity of two-part slow cure epoxy slowly and thoroughly. Avoid trapping air bubbles.

5. Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy (see In-Hull Transducer Installation and Applying Epoxy to the Transducer).

6. Press the transducer into place with a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air from underneath, keeping the pointed end of the transducer body pointed forward, towards the bow (see Installing the Transducer).

NOTE: Proper operation requires the pointed end of the transducer body to face towards the bow.

Side Imaging Transducer

INSTALL THE SIDE IMAGING TRANSDUCER

Use the procedures in this section to install the Side Imaging transducer on your boat. The

ransducer mounting template is provided at the end of this manual (see Side Imaging

t Transducer Mounting Template).

OTE: See the Transom Transducer Mounting Requirements before beginning the

N

installation.

SIDE IMAGING TRANSDUCER MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

Side Imaging Requirements

In addition to the requirements shown in the Transom Transducer Mounting Requirements section, the Side Imaging transducer has

some special requirements because of its side viewing capabilities:

• The Side Imaging transducer must NOT have anything

obstructing the ‘view’ of the side looking beams. For example, nothing can be in the line of sight of these beams (not a hull, motor, additional transducer, etc.). See the illustrations below.

NOTE: You may need to tilt the motor up and out of the way when using the side looking beams.

Transducer Mount Position: Unobstructed View

The jack plate gives the transducer safe distance from the motor and turbulence. The SideImaging beams havea clear view side-to-side.

Multiple Transducer Installation (optional)

If you have installed or are planning to install a second transducer in addition to this Side Imaging transducer, you must determine which transducer will be used as the primary source for traditional 2D sonar when operating the boat at high speeds (up to 65 mph). There are special mounting requirements for the Side Imaging transducer depending on if it will be in the water or out of the water during high-speed operation.

Primary Source - Side Imaging Transducer

If you plan to use the Side Imaging transducer as the primary source for traditional 2D sonar and Down Imaging sonar during high-speed operation (up to 65 mph), mount the transducer at least 15" from the center of the engine with an unobstructed view on both sides of the transducer (see Side Imaging Requirements and the illustration Transducer Mount Position: Unobstructed View).

Primary Source - Secondary Transducer

If you plan to use a second transducer as the primary source for traditional 2D sonar only during high-speed operation (up to 65 mph), mount the Side Imaging transducer where it will not be in direct water flow. For this installation, you may install the transducer less than 15" from the center of the engine. Review

the following mounting alternatives:

Transducer Mount Position: Obstructed View

The transducer is tooclose to motor turbulence,and the Side Imaging view is blocked by the motor. The view cannot extend from side-to-side.

• The Side Imaging transducer can be mounted on or near the centerline of the boat and higher on the transom to prevent direct contact with water flow under the boat at high speeds. Confirm that the transducer is low enough on the transom to be submerged in the water at low speeds. It should not come into contact with the motor when it is raised or lowered.

NOTE: Mounting the Side Imaging transducer higher on the transom should not create turbulence that affects the engine’s water intakes. Contact your dealer to verify your individual boat setup.

• The Side Imaging transducer can be mounted to the jack plate. Contact your dealer for more information about the brands of jack plates that will accommodate this type of installation.

NOTE: A Y-cable or transducer switch may be required to connect the Side Imaging transducer to the second transducer. The Y-cable and transducer switch require separate purchases.

Mount the Transducer Bracket

In this procedure you will mount the bracket, using the mounting template provided as a guide. This template allows you to mark where the mounting holes should be drilled. See Side Imaging Transducer Mounting Template at the end of this manual.

1. Confirm you have read the transducer mounting requirements under Transom

Transducer Mounting Requirements and Side Imaging Transducer Mounting Requirements.

2. Cut out the transducer mounting template from the back of this manual (see Side Imaging Transducer Mounting Template). Match the mounting bracket screw slots to

the template screw slots.

3. Hold the template on the transom of the boat in the location you have selected. Align the template vertically, matching the lower edge of the transom with the bottom corner of the template.

NOTE: If your propeller moves clockwise as the boat moves forward (as you're facing the stern of the boat from behind), mount the transducer on the starboard side, and use the bottom left corner of the template. If your propeller moves counter-clockwise as the boat moves forward (as you're facing the stern of the boat from behind), mount the transducer on the port side, and use the bottom right corner of the template.

4. Continue to hold the template on the transom of the boat, and use a pencil or punch to mark where to drill the three mounting holes shown on the template.

5. Using a 5/32" bit, drill the three holes only to a depth of approximately 1".

NOTE: On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.

6. Use a marine-grade silicone sealant to fill the drilled holes, especially if the holes penetrated the transom wall.

7. Align the metal mounting bracket with the mounting holes. The center slot of your mounting bracket should be above the two outer slots. Insert the three 1" flat head wood screws into the drilled holes, but do not completely tighten.

NOTE: The mounting bracket and all other hardware supplied is top quality stainless steel for maximum strength and corrosion protection.

Assemble the Transducer

In this procedure you will attach the pivot to the transducer using the hardware provided.

1. Attach the pivot to the transducer body as shown in the illustrations using the square nuts, toothed washers, and two 1/4–20 x 5/8" machine screws. The square nuts will be prevented from rotating by the pocket in the back of the pivot. The toothed washers must fit on the inside of the transducer ears, between the pivot and the ears.

NOTE: An Allen wrench is provided which fits all of the 1/4–20 screws, but do not fully tighten the screws at this time.

Attach the Transducer to the Bracket

1. Slide the assembled transducer into the metal bracket from the bottom, aligning the large hole at the top of the bracket with the hole in the pivot.

2. Insert the headed pin through the pivot holes in the bracket and pivot. The headed pin can be inserted from either side of the bracket.

3. Place the nylon washer over the opposite end of the headed pin. Place the stainless washer over the 1/4–20 x 5/8" screw threads, then insert into the opposite end of the headed pin and finger tighten only. The screw has a thread locking compound on the threads to prevent loosening, and should NOT be fully tightened until all adjustments are made.

|

4

Adjust the Running Position

The running position of the transducer is now completely adjustable. Subsequent adjustment may be necessary to tweak the installation after high speed testing. The mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment; the machine screws allow angle adjustment.

NOTE: Side Imaging is best performed at boat speeds from 2 to 6 mph. If the boat is stationary, the same information is displayed over and over. If the boat is moving too quickly, there will be gaps between the strips of information. The best boat speed to use will depend on the side range selected. Slower speeds are good for longer ranges, while faster speeds can be used at shorter ranges.

1. Adjust the angle of the transducer body first, so it is parallel with the hull of the boat. Fully tighten the two machine screws using the supplied Allen wrench. Access the machine screws through the lower holes in the side of the mounting bracket.

2. Next, adjust the height of the assembly so the face of the transducer is 1/8" to 1/4" beneath the bottom of the transom, and fully tighten the three mounting screws. To access the mounting screws, pivot the transducer assembly up into the bracket as shown in the illustration Tightening the Mounting Screws.

CAUTION! Be careful not to alter the running angle, as some force is necessary to pivot the assembly.

3. If access to the top mounting hole is not possible due to the selected height of the transducer, fully tighten the two lower screws. Remove the headed pivot pin and the transducer assembly, tighten the top screw, and then reassemble.

4. Confirm that the pivot angle has not changed and that all mounting screws are fully tightened.

Routing the Cables

ROUTE THE CABLES

Use the procedures in the following section to route and connect all cables to the control

ead.

h

CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be purchased separately from a general hardware or automotive store.

CAUTION! Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable, and try not to damage the cable insulation. Route the cable as far as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or

achometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. If the cable is too short,

t extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50'. For assistance, contact Customer Service at humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information.

Route the Transducer Cable

The transducer cable has a low proﬁle connector, which must be routed to the point where the control head is mounted. There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head is installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat.

NOTE: Your boat may have a pre-existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable.

1. Unplug the other end of the transducer cable from the control head. Make sure that the cable is long enough to accommodate the planned route by running the cable over the transom.

NOTE: The transducer can pivot up to 90 degrees in the bracket. Allow enough slack in the cable for this movement. It is best to route the cable to the side of the transducer so the transducer will not damage the cable during movement.

2a. If you are routing the cable over the transom of the boat, secure the cable by attaching

the cable clamp to the transom, drilling 9/64" diameter holes for the #8 x 5/8" wood screw(s), then skip directly to Connect the Transducer Cable.

or...

2b. If you are routing the cable through a hole in the transom, drill a 1 1/8" diameter hole

above the waterline. Route the cable through this hole, then ﬁll the hole with marinegrade silicone sealant and proceed to the next step immediately.

3. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and use it as a guide to mark the two escutcheon plate mounting holes. Remove the plate, drill two 9/64" diameter x 5/8" deep holes, and then ﬁll both holes with marine-grade silicone sealant. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and attach with two #8 x 5/8" wood screws.

Hand-tighten only!

4. Route and secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom. Drill one 9/64" diameter x 5/8" deep hole, then ﬁll hole with marine-grade silicone sealant, then attach the cable clamp using a #8 x 5/8" screw. Hand-tighten only!

2. Setup Guide: See the section Setup Guide for initial start up instructions. You must complete the steps indicated in the Setup Guide before starting normal operation.

NOTE: After completing the Setup Guide, the control head will automatically enter normal operation.

3. Press the HOME key .

4. Select a sonar view from the Favorites bar to display on-screen.

TEST AND FINISH THE INSTALLATION

Once you have installed both the control head and the transducer, and have routed all the

ables, you must perform a final test before locking the transducer in place. Testing should

c be performed with the boat in the water.

NOTE: See your control head operations manual for more information about selecting views.

5. If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the unit is working properly. Make sure that the boat is in water greater than 2' but less than the depth capability of the unit, and that the transducer is fully submerged, since the sonar signal cannot pass through air.

NOTE: The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection.

6. If the unit is working properly, gradually increase the boat speed to test high-speed performance. If the unit functions well at low speeds, but begins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer requires adjustment.

|

2

Make Adjustments

NOTE: It is often necessary to make several incremental transducer adjustments before optimum high-speed performance is achieved. Due to the wide variety of boat hulls, however, it is not always possible to obtain high speed depth readings.

NOTE: The deeper the transducer is in the water, the more likely that a rooster tail of spray will be generated at high speeds, so make sure that the transducer is as high as it can be and still be submerged in the water.

DualBeam PLUS Transducer

1. If you have the correct angle set on the transducer, yet lose a bottom reading at high speed, adjust the height and the running angle in small increments to give you the ideal transducer position for your boat. First, adjust the height in small increments (see DualBeam PLUS Transom Mount Installation: Assemble the Transducer and Initial Mounting).

If you are still not getting good high-speed readings, you may need to disassemble the transducer mounting assembly and re-position the ratchets, using the illustrations showing the transducer knuckle positions in the section DualBeam PLUS Transom Mount Installation: Assemble the Transducer and Initial Mounting. If you do change the transducer position, re-trace the position of the mounting bracket before proceeding.

Side Imaging Transducer

1. If you have the correct angle set on the transducer, yet lose a bottom reading at high speed, adjust the transducer to a lower depth in the water. If you reach the top of the screw slots and continue to lack high-speed performance, increase the angle of the transducer by lowering the back of the transducer in increments of 1/8".
