GPSMAP 168 Sounder Portable
The Portable Case
The Portable Case is designed for rugged use and provides storage for the Battery Pack, the Portable
Suction Cup Transducer and a mount for the GPSMAP 168 Sounder.
Use the two square eyelets located by the handle to secure the GPSMAP 168 Sounder
Portable Case to the boat. The case is water resistant but is not designed to fl oat in
the event it should go overboard.
The Suction Cup Transducer
Using the Portable unit, you will still need to fi nd a suitable location for the transducer. If you
are in a slow moving boat such as a canoe or fl at bottom boat, the mounting location is not as critical.
Follow these simple guidelines and you should be fi ne.
To install the suction cup transducer mount:
1. Look for clean (non-turbulent) water.
2. Mount the transducer with approximately 1/2” extending beyond the bottom of the boat.
3. Do not mount the transducer behind strakes on the bottom of the boat or in the path of a prop.
4. If you experience poor reception, try another location.
WARNING! Speeds in excess or 20 MPH may cause the transducer to fl y off and strike
occupants of the boat.
