The rear section of the SportScan houses the sonar transducers and the electronics. To remove this section
from the Aluminum ballast housing tube it is necessary to extract the plastic retaining snap ring (Fig.1). This is
best accomplished by using a pair of needle nose pliers.
The rear section may now be slid out and away from the housing tube (Fig.2).
Apply a small amount of silicon grease to the rubber part of the male pins on the electronics bulkhead.
Check the orientation of the two connector halves and carefully but firmly push them together. A retaining strap
is molded into the female connector. Slip this over and behind the male connector for security (Fig.3).
Install the rear section back into the Ballast housing, taking care to fit the cable into the slot provided. Thread
the plastic snap ring back into the groove completely (Fig.4).
Attach the cable thimble to the Aluminum housing using the shackle provided (Fig.5).
