Installation
Location
The FISH400 and FISH440 are water resistant and may be mounted and operated in many positions thanks to its compact and robust bracket, associated with a swivel support.
Note
It may be advisable to install the transducer and wiring before finalising the location of the display head and bracket.
When installing the display head, select a position where it will be:
•at least 300 mm ( 12" ) away from the compass.
•at least 300 mm ( 12" ) away from any radio transmitter, such as the VHF.
•easy to read by the helmsman and crew while under way.
•protected from physical damage during rough sea passages.
•have easy access to the 12 volt power source.
•convenient to route the transducer cables.

Installation – The Transducer
Read this section carefully before attempting the transducer installation. Remember, the transducer location is the most critical part of the installation. If this is not done properly, the transducer can’t perform at its designed potential. Therefore the performance of the fishfinder, especially at higher speeds, will not be satisfactory.
• Transom Mount Transducer
Location
The transducer can be installed on any outboard or sterndrive powered boat. The transom mount transducer has a safety “kick up” mounting bracket to help minimise damage to the transducer should it impact the bottom or floating debris in the water.
Select a position for the transducer that will:
•allow the transducer a smooth flow of water over its surface at all times.
•ensure a mount as deep in the water as possible.
•be clear of any interference from the trailer when launching or retrieving the boat.
•be away from planing strakes or other projections from the hull that may cause aerated water to flow over the face of the transducer.
•be away from the propeller
•be at least 150 mm ( 6" ) away from the keel of the boat.

Mounting
Once the best location of the transducer is determined, hold the transducer and bracket against the transom. The bottom surface of the transducer needs to sit parallel to the surface of the water for the best signal return. The lower face of the transducer should extend down below the bottom of the hull so that it will be below the surface of the water at high speeds. (See fig. 2.1)
fig. 2.1
Minimum immersion required
Mark the transom through the bracket slots to correctly place the two outer screws. Now drill the two holes in the centre of the slots. This will allow you to adjust the transducer position later on if required. Use two of the three stainless screws supplied to attach the bracket to the transom. Ensure the lower face of the transducer is parallel with the ground (see fig. 3.1 and 3.2). Tighten the two screws.
