Applications
• Not recommended for boats with large inboard engine(s)
• Not recommended for stepped hull
• Good operation up to 44kn (50MPH)
• Vertically orients sound beam on hull with deadrise angle up to 30°
• Adjusts to transom angles from 2
° –22 °
• Bracket protects sensor from frontal impact only
Mounting Location
CAUTION: Do not mount in line with or near water intake or
discharge openings or behind strakes, fittings, or hull irregularities
that will disturb the water flow.
CAUTION: Avoid mounting the sensor where the boat may be
supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
• For the best performance, the sensor must be in contact with
smooth water. To identify an area of clean water, observe the
water flow off the transom while the boat is underway.
• Allow space above the bracket for it to release and rotate the
sensor upward (see Figure 1).
• Mounting on the starboard side of the hull where the propeller
blades are moving downward is preferred.
• Mount the sensor as close to the centerline (keel) of the boat as
possible to ensure the sensor’s face remains in the water when
the boat is turning.
- Single drive boat—Mount at least 75mm (3") beyond the swing
radius of the propeller (see Figure 2).
- Twin drive boat—Mount the sensor between the drives.

NOTE: Starboard
side of hull where
propeller blades are
moving downward is
preferred.
Follow the precautions below for optimal
product performance and to reduce the risk of
property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust
mask when installing.
WARNING: When the boat is placed in the water,
immediately check for leaks around the screws and
any other holes drilled in the hull.
CAUTION: Do not attach the sensor to the bracket
before fastening the bracket to the hull. It is VERY
difficult to separate them if the bracket is unattached.
CAUTION: Never pull, carry, or hold the transducer by
the cable as this may sever internal connections.
CAUTION: Never strike the multisensor with anything
except the palm of the hand. Never strike the
paddlewheel.
CAUTION: Never use solvents. Cleaner, fuel, sealant,
paint, and other products may contain solvents that can
damage plastic parts, especially the transducer’s face.
IMPORTANT: Please read the instructions completely
before proceeding with the installation. These
instructions supersede any other instructions in your
instrument manual if they differ.
