Preface
Warning: It is your sole responsibility to install and
use the instrument and transducer(s) in a manner that
will not cause accidents, personal injury or property
damage. Always observe safe boating practices.
Sonar performance: The accuracy of the sonar depth display can
be affected by many factors, including the type and location of the
transducer and water conditions. Never use this instrument to
gauge depth or other conditions for swimming or diving.
The choice, location, and installation of transducers and other
components of the system are critical to the performance of the
system as intended. If in doubt, consult your Navico dealer.
To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting this instrument,
you must read and understand all aspects of the Installation and
Operation manuals. We also recommend that you practice all
operations using the built-in simulator before using this instrument
on the water.

Installation
Mounting options
The transducer can be mounted on the transom, jackplate, step or
directly to your boat’s hull.
Use the following table to determine which mounting option is
best suited to your boat/installation preferences.
Ú
Ú
Note: When mounting the transducer, make sure there is
nothing around the mounting location that could interfere
with its sonar beams.
Note: If mounting where the transducer comes out of the
water, for example when the boat is on plane, the sonar will
not work while the transducer is out of the water.

• Keeps transducer in the water when the
boat is on plane, allowing you to track
bottom at high speeds
• Transducer angle can be adjusted so it is
parallel with the water
• Transducer more likely to collide with
obstructions in the water and adds drag
to the boat
• Transducer is not in the water when boat
is on plane; protects transducer and
prevents drag from transducer
• Transducer angle can be adjusted so it is
parallel with the water
• Allows you to mount transducer without
drilling holes in your boat
• Sonar does not track bottom when
transducer comes out of the water
• Transducer is not in the water when boat
is on plane; protects transducer and
prevents drag from transducer
• Transducer angle can be adjusted so it is

To mount the transducer directly to the step (Direct Step mount),
use the flush mount bracket (sold separately).
Transducer angle
After mounting the transducer, make sure the transducer is adjusted
so it will be parallel with the waterline in both the horizontal and
vertical axis when moving at trolling speed.

Transom mount (Transom bracket)
The transducer can be mounted on a transom bracket. With this
mounting option the transducer can be in the water when you are
on plane, or can be mounted so it is only in the water when you are
moving at trolling speed.

Plastic isolating material such as King Starboard (prevents
corrosion between bracket and aluminum hull)
To mount on transom using the transom bracket:
1. Choose a transducer location and then route the transducer
cable to the location where the display will be installed.
2. Place the transducer bracket against the transom and then align
the bottom of the transducer with the bottom of boat. Use a
pencil to mark the pilot holes through the slots in the
transducer bracket.
3. Drill the pilot holes into the boat’s transom.
4. Apply a marine high-grade above- or below-waterline sealant/
adhesive compound to the pilot holes.
5. Align the bracket slots over the pilot holes and fasten the
bracket to the transom using the supplied screws.
6. To make adjustments to transducer position, loosen the screws
and slide bracket up or down.
7. Connect the transducer cable to the display sonar port.
After the transducer is connected and your boat is in the water, turn
on the Flip Left/Right feature in your display unit to ensure what is
shown on the left and right side on your display corresponds with
what is on the left and right side of your boat. Refer to your display
unit's Operation manual for more information.

Jackplate mount (Transom bracket)
The transducer transom bracket can be mounted inside or outside
of the jackplate by drilling through the jackplate and then running
bolts through the hinge hole in the side of the bracket into the
jackplate. The illustration above shows the transom bracket
mounted inside the jackplate.
Ú
Note: Sonar does not track bottom when the transducer is
out of the water.
Jackplate mount supplies (not included)
6 mm (1/4”) Drill bit (Jackplate
Mount)
M6 (1/4”) jackplate mount bolts
Warning: Before installing the transducer on the
jackplate, lower the jackplate to its lowest setting to
make sure there is enough clearance between the
jackplate, engine, transom, and the transducer. Lack of
clearance could damage the transducer when the
engine is all the way down.
To mount transducer on jackplate using transom bracket:
1. Choose a transducer location on the inside or outside of the
jackplate.
2. Adjust the jackplate up and down to make sure the transducer
will not obstruct jackplate movement.
3. Make sure nothing blocks the sonar beam on either side of the
transducer.

4. Route the transducer cable to the location where the display
will be installed.
5. Move the transducer bracket into the desired position and use a
pencil to mark the holes through the hinge hole and hole in the
side of the bracket.
6. Using a 6mm or equivalent drill bit, drill the holes into the
jackplate.
7. Slide the bracket inside the jackplate and align the bracket holes
with holes you drilled in the jackplate.
8. Slide M6 bolts with washers into each hole on the side of
jackplate.
9. Guide the bolts through the Transducer mounting bracket
holes.
10. Place a washer over the end of the bolts and tighten the nuts.
11. Connect the transducer cable to the display sonar port.
After the transducer is connected and your boat is in the water, turn
on the Flip Left/Right feature in your display unit to ensure what is
shown on the left and right side on your display corresponds with
what is on the left and right side of your boat. Refer to your display
unit's Operation manual for more information.
Step mount (Transom bracket)
The transducer can be mounted on a transom bracket. With this
mounting option the transducer can be in the water when you are
on plane, or can be mounted so it is only in the water when you are
moving at trolling speed.
