    7 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar and GPS sy stems in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: CAUTION: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1. Determine the approximate location for the sonar/ ...

    8 Remember, the transducer location and installation is the most critical part of a sonar installation. Recommended Tools and sup plies If you prefer the option of routing the cable through the transom, you will need a 5/8" drill bit. NOTE: The following installation types also call for these recommended tools and required supplies that you mu ...

    9 3. The transducer should be installed with its face pointing straight down, if possible. For shoot-thru applications: Many popular fishing boat hulls have a flat keel pad that offers a good mounting surface. On vee hulls, try to place the transd ucer where the deadrise is 10 ° or less. Left, vee pad hull; right, vee hull. A pod style transducer ...

  • Lowrance electronic Fish Finder - page 12

    10 Align transducer centerline with hull bottom. However, there are times when you may need to adju st the transducer slightly higher or lower. (The slot s in the mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the tr ansducer up or down.) If you fre- quently lose bottom signal lock while running at high speed, the trans- ducer may be co ...

    11 Second, the transducer angle cannot be adjusted for the best fish arches on your sonar display. (Thi s is not an issue for flasher-style sonars.) Lack of angle adjustment can be particularly troublesome on hulls that sit with the bow high when at rest or at slow trolling speeds. Third, a transducer CAN NOT shoot through wood and metal hulls. Tho ...

    12 Reassemble the transducer and bracket and place them against the transom. Again, check to see if you can move the transducer so it's parallel with the ground. If you can, then go to step 3. If it doesn't, repeat step 2, but use a different alignment letter until you can place the transducer on the transom correctly. Insert bolt and che ...

    14 6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable at the tra ns duc er . If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from the engine's wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires and cables, an d aerators can be picked up by the s ...

    15 3. Route the transducer cable alon gside the trolling motor shaft. Use plastic ties (not included) to attach the transducer cable to the troll- ing motor shaft. Make sure there is enough slack in the cable for the motor to turn freely. Route the cable to the sonar unit and the trans- ducer is ready for use. TRANSDUCER ORIENTATION AND FISH ARCHES ...

    17 Shoot-thru-hull transducer locations for high speed or trolling speed operation. To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.) 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water. Add a little water to the sump of the boat. Plug the transducer into the sonar ...

    18 3. Now move the transducer around to find the best location with the strongest possible bottom signal. If yo u find a spot with an acceptable bottom signal, mark the location and move on to ste p 4. If you can't get an acceptable bottom signal, try turning up the sensitiv- ity by three or five keystrokes an d then move the transducer around ...
