DO NOT mount the transducer behindstrakes, rivet lines, struts, fittings, water intake, dischargeports, eroding paint, or anything that creates turbulence.• Mount the transducer as close to the center of the boat aspossible.• DO NOT cut the transducer lead. (This voids your warranty.)• DO NOT mount the transducer in locations where it mightbe jarred when launching, hauling, trailering, or storing.• DO NOT mount the transducer in the path of the prop onsingle-drive boats. The transducer can cause cavitation thatcan degrade the boat’s performance and damage the prop. Ontwin-drive boats, mount the transducer between the drives, ifpossible.�� NOTE: DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts,fittings, water intake or discharge ports, or anything that createsair bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. Thetransducer must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimalperformance.
