STEP 5
Cable Routing & Connection to the Depth Sounder Display
Route the cable to the mounting location of the depth sounder transducer plug.
•
To reduce electrical interference, separate the transducer cable from other
electrical wiring.
•
Coil any excess cable and secure it in place using tie-wraps.
•
Connect the transducer plug to the depth sounder display plug and secure to
prevent accidental disconnection.
STEP 6
Antifouling Paint
Marine growth can accumulate rapidly on the transducer's surface. If the vessel
is left in saltwater for extended periods of time, all components of the transducer
exposed to sea water must be painted with WATER BASED antifouling paint.
•
Clear, spray-on antifouling paints are very easy to apply and can be
purchased from your local boating supply store.
•
Reapply paint as needed to prevent marine growth
N
OTICE
:
Never use ketone-based paint, as this type of
paint can damage the transducer's plastic shell.
STEP 7
Checking for Leaks
Immediately after placing the vessel in the water check around the transducer for
leaks.
•
If no leaks are evident, recheck the area after 2, 12, 24, and 48 hours.
•
If there is a leak, remove the vessel from the water and repeat STEP 4 above
immediately.
W
ARNING
:
Never install this transducer and leave
the vessel in the water unchecked.
Refer to STEP 7 above.
