SENSOR MOUNTING
If you mount the transducers inside the hull of the boat or on an
electric trolling motor (described on page 8) you will need to use
the provided sensor mounting bracket, instead of the transducer, to
mount the speed and temperature sensor.
Snap the sensor assembly into the
mounting bracket as shown in figure 11.
Hold the assembly up to the boat at the bot-
tom of the transom. Stay away from rivets,
ribs, or strakes that would be just in front of
the sensor, as they can affect your speed
reading. Mark the two holes on the transom, or mounting plate, so
that when the bottom of the sensor is flush with the bottom of the
boat the holes are located at the bottom of the bracket slots. The bot-
tom of the speed wheel should be below the transom line.
Locate the two mounting screws and drill the appropriate sized
holes in the transom. Install the sensor assembly and tighten it down
securely. Don’t forget to seal the holes with silicone to prevent leak-
age.
CAUTION - It is a good idea to restrain the speed wheel from spin-
ning freely while trailering the boat. Damage may result because there is
no water to lubricate the wheel bearings. A rubber band works good for
this.
PORTABLE MOUNTING
An optional suction cup
bracket can be used to tem-
porarily attach the transduc-
ers to the transom or side of
the boat. The cup should be
placed in a location where it
will not be torn off when the
boat goes high speed. The
optional BK0507 suction cup
mounting bracket works well
for this application.
