Be sure to route the cable as far as practical from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. The transducer and GPS receiver cables should not be cut, and care should be used not to damage the cable insulation.

Fill the hull with enough water to submerge the transducer body. Use a sand-filled bag or other heavy object to hold the transducer in position. The transducer cannot transmit through air, and the water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull, and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface. 1.

Several styles of the transducer are compatible with trolling motor mounting. If you have a trolling motor bracket, refer to the separate installation instructions that are included with the bracket.
93x_Man_531370-1_A - vs4.qxd 2/18/2005 11:11 AM Page 25 www.reelschematic.com www.reelschematic.com NOTE: It may not always be possible to get symmetrical fish arches and high speed depth readings at the same time. Due to the wide variety of boat hulls, however, it is not always possible to obtain high speed depth readings. GPS RECEIVER INSTALLATION NOTE: It is often necessary to make several incremental transducer adjustments before optimum high speed performance is achieved.
