MOUNTING
1.1 Display Unit
Mounting considerations
The display unit can be installed on a tabletop or on the overhead.
When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep the
following in mind:
• Keep the display unit out of direct sunlight.
• The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keepthe unit away from electromagneticfield-generating equip-
ment such as motors and generators.
• For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space
at the sides and rear of the unit and leave slack in cables.
• A magnetcompass will be affected if placed too close to the
display unit. Observe the following compass safe distances to
prevent disturbance to the magnetcompass:
Standard compass: 0.8 meters
Steering compass: 0.6 meters

1.2 Thru-hull Mount Transducer 520-5PSD, 520-5MSD
Transducer mounting location
This type of mounting provides the best performance of all, since
the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles
and turbulence near the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a
keel, the transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it. Typical
thru-hull mountings are shown in the figure on the next page.
The performance of this sounder is directly related to the mount-
ing location of the transducer, especially for high-speed cruising.
The installation should be planned in advance, keeping the stan-
dard cable length (8 m) and the following factors in mind:
• Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the boat
seriously degrade the sounding capability of the transducer. The
transducer should, therefore, be located in a position where wa-
ter flow is the smoothest. Noise from the propellers also ad-
versely affects performance and the transducer should not be
mounted nearby. The lifting strakes are notorious for creating
acoustic noise, and these must be avoided by keeping the trans-
ducer inboard of them.
• The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the
boat is rolling, pitching or up on a plane at high speed.
• A practical choice would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of
the boat’s length from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical
location is generally rather far astern, so that the transducer is
always in water regardless of the planing attitude.

Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount
transducer
1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location se-
lected for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull.
2. If the hull is not level within 15°in any direction, fairing blocks
made out of teak should be used between the transducer and
hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face paral-
lel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown
below and make the entire surface as smooth as possible to
provide an undisturbed flow of water around the transducer.
The fairing block should be smaller than the transducer itself
to provide a channel to divert turbulent water around the sides
of the transducer rather than over its face.

3. Drill a hole just large enough to pass the threaded stuffing tube
of the transducer through the hull, making sure it is drilled ver-
tically.
4. Apply a sufficient amount of high quality caulking compound
to the top surface of the transducer, around the threads of the
stuffing tube and inside the mounting hole (and fairing blocks
if used) to ensure watertight mounting.
5. Mount the transducer and fairing blocks and tighten the lock-
ing nuts. Be sure that the transducer is properly oriented and its
working face is parallel to the waterline.
Note:Do not over-stress the stuffing tube and locking nuts through
excessive tightening, since the wood block will swell when the
boat is placed in the water. It is suggested that the nut be tightened
lightly at installation and retightened several days after the boat
has been launched.

1.3 Transom Mount Transducer 520-5PWD,
Optional Transom Mount Triducer 520ST-PWD
This type of mounting is very commonly employed, usually on
relatively small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on
an inboard motor boat because turbulence is created by the propel-
ler ahead of the transducer.
Thereare two methodsofinstallation: flush withhull(for flat hulls)
and projecting from hull (for deep V-hulls).
Flat Hull Deep V-hull

D>50 cm
Figure 1-8 Transom mount transducer mounting locations
Installing the transom mount transducer flush with
hull (for flat hulls)
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the en-
gine and where the water flow is smooth.
1. Drill four pilot holes in the mounting location.
2. Attach the transducer to the bracket with tapping screws (sup-
plied).
3. Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to
the seabed.
Note: If necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air
bubbles staying on the transducer face, incline the transducer
about 5°at the rear. This may require a certain amount of
experimentation for fine tuning at high cruising speeds.
4. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the transducer and tran-
som with epoxy material to eliminate any air spaces.

Figure 1-9 Transom mount transducer, mounting flush with hull
Installing the transom mount transducer projecting
from hull (for deep-V hulls)
This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good per-
formance because the effects of air bubbles are minimal. Install
the transducer parallel with water surface; not flush with hull. If
the boat is placed on a trailer care must be taken not to damage the
transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water and put on the
trailer.

Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer
thoroughly with a detergent liquid soap. This will lessen the time
necessary for the transducer to have good contact with the water.
Otherwise the time required for complete “saturation” will be
lengthened and performance will be reduced.
Do not paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.

1.4 Inside-hull Mount Transducer 520-5PSD, 520-5MSD
Necessary tools
You will need the following tools:
• Sandpaper (#100)
• Silicone sealant
• Silicone grease
Remarks on installation
• Turnoff the engine and anchor theboat while installing the equip-
ment.
• Install the transducer in the engine room.
Selecting the mounting location
Keep the following points in mind when selecting a mounting lo-
cation:
• The mounting location should be where the hull is of single-
hull thickness and is void of air or flotation materials other than
solid fiberglass between the transducer face and the water.
• Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribs which run
under the hull.
• Avoid a location where the rising angle of the hull exceeds 15°,
to minimize the effect of the boat’s rolling.
• You will finalize the mounting location through some trial and
error. The procedure for this is shown later.
