1.4 Transducer
The performance of the fish finder depends on the transducer position.
Refer to the drawing for transducer tank installation at the end of this manual. The
transducer tank T-625 (code: 000-037-649) should be prepared locally.
Mounting consideration
Note 1: Carefully handle the transducer. Do not lift the transducer by holding the ca-
ble, nor drop it.
Note 2: The gasket sizes in the thru-hull pipe are different for two types of CV-303.
When replacing the transducer, make sure that the gasket in the thru-hull pipe is ap-
plied with the cable.
If the gasket is required, arrange the appropriate gasket according to the cable diam-
eter.
• A place least affected by air bubbles should be selected since turbulence blocks the
sounding path.
• Select a place least influenced by engine noise.
• Select a place without other sounder interference. The transducer should be sepa-
rated from other transducers with the same frequency by 2.5 m or farther.
• Install the transducer face parallel to the sea surface.
• Orient the transducer bow mark to ship’s bow
within ±5 degree.
It is known that air bubbles are fewest at the
place where the bow first falls and the next
wave raises, at usual cruising speed. In small,
slow-speed boats, the position between 1/3 and
1/2 of the ship’s length from the bow is usually
a good place.
Refer to the installation drawing for the trans-
ducer, combined with the thru-hull pipe TFB-
1600.
Note: The face of the transducer must be facing the sea bottom in normal cruising
trim of the boat.
