Preface

Warning: It is your sole responsibility to install and
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, or step. Use the following table to determine which mounting option is
best suited to your boat/installation preferences.
Note: Before drilling any holes, ensure that holes are drilled in a
Ú
safe position. Ensure you do not drill into tanks, reservoirs, hoses, or cables, etc. and that the holes will not weaken the structure in any way.
Note: When mounting the transducer, make sure there is
Ú
nothing around the mounting location that could interfere with its sonar beams.
Note: If mounting where the transducer comes out of the
Ú
water, for example when the boat is on plane, the sonar will not work while the transducer is out of the water.

Transom and step mount (Transom bracket)

The transducer can be mounted to the transom or step with the transom bracket. With these mounting options 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.
Transom and Step mount (fiberglass) supplies (not
included)
3 mm (1/8”) Drill bit (Transom mount pilot holes)
Transom mount (aluminum hull) supplies (not included)
M4 Machine Screws Marine high-grade above- or
Plastic isolating material such as King Starboard (prevents corrosion between bracket and aluminum hull)
Marine high-grade above- or below-waterline sealant/ adhesive compound
below-waterline sealant/ adhesive compound

To mount on transom or step using the transom bracket

1. Snap the plug to the bracket (A)
2. Attach the bracket and name tag insert to the transducer using
the supplied screws (B)
3. Loosely attach the bracket with the transducer to the transom
mounting plate using the supplied bracket assembly bolt, washer (closest to the screw head), rubber spring washer and nylon lock nut (C)
4. Hold the whole assembly up against the transom or transom
step to the desired position. If mounting on the transom, align the bottom of the transducer with the bottom of boat. Use a pencil to mark the pilot holes (D). The transom mounting plate has screw slots for adjusting the transducer position height.
5. Drill the pilot holes
6. Apply a marine high-grade above- or below-waterline sealant/
adhesive compound to the pilot holes
7. Disconnect the transom mounting plate from the transducer
bracket
8. Screw the transom mounting plate to the transom using the
supplied screws and flat washers (E)

12. Snap the cable cover into place (H). If needed, you can remove
the cable cover by inserting a flat head screw driver along the curved edge and pry the clip loose on both sides, one side at a time.
13. Route the cable to the display and connect it to the sonar port.
After the transducer is connected and your boat is in the water, turn on the Flip Left/Right feature on your display 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's Operation manual for more information.

Direct Step mount (Flush bracket)

Flush mount bracket assembly

To mount the transducer directly to the step (Direct Step mount), use the flush mount bracket (sold separately, part no. 000-12602-001).

Note: Do not install the transducer under the hull.
Ú
You can mount the transducer in either direction; with the cable coming out towards or away from the transom when installing with the direct step (Flush bracket) mount.
Note: Sonar does not track bottom when the transducer is out

Direct step mount bracket and supplies (not included)
Maximum 5 mm (#10 or 3/16”) self-tapping metal screws
To direct step mount using flush bracket
1. Make sure the boat’s step is the same length or longer than the
transducer.
2. After selecting a mounting location, route the transducer cable
to the location where the display will be installed.
3. Attach the transducer to the surface bracket and hold in the
desired position. Use a pencil to mark pilot holes through the mounting holes on the surface bracket.
4. Drill the pilot holes.
5. Apply a marine high-grade above- or below-waterline sealant/
adhesive compound to the pilot holes.
6. Align the transducer mounting holes over the pilot holes and
mount the transducer to the step using self-tapping metal screws (not supplied). Do NOT overtighten the screws; otherwise you could strip out the fiberglass pilot holes or crack the mounting holes on the transducer.
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)

Installation | TotalScan Transducer User Manual
Note: Jackplate mount requires the separately sold
Ú
'StructureScan 3D, StructureScan HD & TotalScan Skimmer Transom mount kit' (part no. 000-12603-001).
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.
Note: Sonar does not track bottom when the transducer is out
Ú
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.
