INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Important Safety Information

WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the

chartplotter product box for product warnings and other

important information.

You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your

vessel. Sonar is a tool that enhances your awareness of the

water beneath your boat. It does not relieve you of the

responsibility of observing the water around your boat as you

navigate.

CAUTION

Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with

these instructions could result in damage or injury.

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask

when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

NOTICE

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite

side of the surface.

To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your

boat, you must install the Garmin

device according to these

instructions.

Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the

installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go

to support.garmin.com for more information.

Software Update

You must update the Garmin chartplotter software when you

install this device.

If your chartplotter has Wi‑Fi

technology, you should update the

software using the ActiveCaptain

app on a compatible Android

™

or Apple

device.

If your chartplotter does not have Wi‑Fi technology, you should

update the software using a memory card and a Windows

Mac

computer.

For more information, go to support.garmin.com.

Tools Needed

• Drill

• 4 mm (

in.) and 3.2 mm (

in.) drill bits

• Masking tape

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Marine sealant

• 32 mm (1

in.) hole saw (optional)

• Cable ties (optional)

Mounting Considerations

• You must angle the transducer correctly for your selected

mode to work properly.

• You must install the sonar module in a location with adequate

ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme

temperatures.

• You should mount the transducer in a location where it will

not be jarred when launching, hauling, or storing.

• You should mount the transducer in a location where it is not

behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake or discharge

ports, thru-hull transducers, or anything that creates air

bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. Turbulent

water may interfere with the sonar beam.

• You should mount the transducer as close to the center line

of the boat as possible.

• When mounted farther from the center of the transom, a

greater deadrise can cause the boat hull to interfere with

the sonar beam , and can cause inconsistent detection on

the opposite side of the boat

. The transducer is shown

from behind.

• On single-drive vessels, you must not mount the transducer

in the path of the propeller.

• On twin-drive vessels, you should mount the transducer

between the drives, if possible.

• You should mount the sonar module in a location where the

LEDs are visible, where the cables can be connected, and

where the device will not be submerged.

Cable Considerations

NOTICE

Separating the Siamese cables near the rotating joint on a

cable-steered trolling motor reduces stress and extends the life

of the cables.

Zip ties and cable clamps can over-tighten and damage or break

the cable, or cause cable fatigue due to repeated rotation of the

motor.

You should use black electrical tape to secure the cables above

and below the rotating joint. If you secure the cables with zip

ties, do not over-tighten the zip ties.

You should secure the cables above and below the pivot joint of

your trolling motor.

You should create a service loop at least 25 cm (10 in.) long in

the cables, with the rotating joint centered on the loop.

You should use the included tool, a flathead screwdriver, or a

blunt knife to separate the cables.
