2 Transom Mount Intelliducer Installation Instructions
Install the Intelliducer
To install the Transom Mount Intelliducer:
1. AssembletheIntelliducer.
2. MounttheIntelliducer.
3. ConnecttheIntelliduceryourexistingNMEA2000network.
 OR
 ConnecttheIntelliducertopowerandaNMEA0183-compatibledevice.
4. UpdateyourGarminchartplotter(ifapplicable).
Step 1: Assemble the Intelliducer
To assemble the Intelliducer:
1.Inserttherubberwasherand
theplasticspacerintothe
Intelliduceratthesametime.
DONOTlubricatetherubber
washer.
2. RoutetheNMEA2000or
power/datacabletoward
thebackoftheIntelliducer.
SlidetheIntelliducerintothe
Intelliducer mount.
3.Placethe5mmatwasheronthe10-32×1.75in.screw,andinsertthescrewthroughthe
Intelliducermount,thespacer,andtherubberwasher.
4.Placetheremaining5mmatwasherontheexposedendofthe10-32×1.75in.screw.
Installthe10-32locknutngertight.RetightentheIntelliducerafterinstallationontheboat.
Step 2: Mount the Intelliducer
When selecting a transom-mount location, consider the following for optimal performance:
For your sonar to operate properly, the Intelliducer must be located in calm water.
Mount the Intelliducer as close to the center of the boat as possible.
DO NOT mount the Intelliducer in locations where it might be jarred when launching,
hauling, or storing.
DO NOT mount the Intelliducer in the path of the propeller on single-drive boats. The
Intelliducer can cause cavitation that can degrade the performance of the boat and damage
the propeller. On twin-drive boats, mount the Intelliducer between the drives, if possible.
NOTE: DO NOT mount the Intelliducer behind strakes, struts, ttings, water intake or discharge
ports, or anything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. The Intelliducer
must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance.

3Transom Mount Intelliducer Installation Instructions
To mount the Intelliducer on a transom:
1.PositiontheIntelliducermountattheselectedtransomlocation.MakesuretheIntelliduceris
parallelwiththewaterline.MarkthecenterlocationsofeachholeontheIntelliducermount.
Apply marine sealant to all screw
threads to prevent water from
seeping into the transom.
Mount the Intelliducer
cable cover far above
the waterline.
Intelliducer should extend
1
/
8
in. (3.2 mm) below
a berglass hull or
3
/
8
in. (9.5 mm) below an
aluminum hull.
Ensure that the Intelliducer is
below water level when the boat
is on plane at high speed.
Do not mount the Intelliducer directly in the path of the
propeller. The Intelliducer can cause cavitation that may
degrade the boat performance and damage the propeller.
Mount the Intelliducer parallel
with the bottom.
2.Drill5/32in.(4mm)pilotholesapproximately1in.(25mm)deepatthemarkedlocations.To
avoiddrillingtheholestoodeep,wrapapieceoftapearoundthebitat1in.(25mm)from
thepointofthebit.
3.Applymarinesealanttothe5×30mmscrews.AttachtheIntelliducerassemblytothe
transomusingthe5×30mmscrews.AdjusttheIntelliducerassemblytoextendbeyondthe
bottomofthetransomapproximately1/8in.(3.2mm)onberglasshullsor3/8 in. (9.5 mm) on
aluminumhulls.AdjusttheIntelliducerassemblytobealignedparallelwiththewater.
4.Tightenthe10-32lockingnutuntilittouchesthemountingbracket,andthentighten1/4 turn
more.(Donotovertighten.)
5.PlacetherstcableclampontheIntelliducercable,approximatelyonethirdofthedistance
betweentheIntelliducerandthetopofthetransom.
6. Markthelocation.Drilla1/8 in.(3.2mm)pilotholeapproximately3/8 in. (9.5 mm) deep.
7.Attachthecableclampusingoneofthe4×12mmscrews.Coatthescrewwithmarine
sealantbeforeinstallation.Repeatsteps5and6usingtheothercableclamp.
8. RoutetheNMEA2000cabletothebackboneofyourexistingNMEA2000network.
 OR
 Routethepower/datacabletopowerandaNMEA0183-compliantdevice.
CAUTION: Avoid routing the cable close to electrical wires or other sources of electrical
interference.

4 Transom Mount Intelliducer Installation Instructions
Step 3 (NMEA 2000): Connect the Intelliducer to a NMEA 2000 Network
The Intelliducer is packaged with a NMEA 2000 T-connector. The Intelliducer has a built-in
NMEA 2000 drop cable. Use these two components to connect the Intelliducer to your existing
NMEA 2000 network. If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network, you will need to
install a NMEA 2000 network on your boat. For more information on NMEA 2000, visit
www.garmin.com.
To connect the Transom Mount Intelliducer to your existing NMEA 2000 network:
1. DetermineanappropriatelocationtoconnecttheIntelliducertoyourexistingNMEA2000
backbone.
2. DisconnectonesideofaNMEA2000T-connector,ordisconnectaterminatorfromthe
backbonenearesttothelocationwhereyouwanttoconnecttheIntelliducer.
 IfyouneedtoextendtheNMEA2000backbone,connectanappropriateNMEA2000
backboneextensioncable(notincluded)totheT-connectororterminatoryoudisconnected.
3. ConnecttheincludedT-connectorfortheIntelliducerintheNMEA2000backbone.
4. Routethebuilt-indropcableontheIntelliducertothebottomoftheT-connectoryouadded

0183-compliant Device
The Transom Mount NMEA 0183 Intelliducer must be connected to power. Use the diagrams to
correctly wire the Intelliducer. In the diagrams, Tx = transmit, and Rx = receive.
You can connect up to three NMEA 0183-compliant devices to receive data from one
Intelliducer.

NOTE: The orange (accessory on) wire is used when wiring the Intelliducer to a Garmin
chartplotter or other NMEA 0183 device that has a dened accessory signal wire. If you are wiring
the Intelliducer to a device that does not have an accessory signal wire, the orange wire from the
Intelliducer should be connected to ground.
CAUTION: If you are wiring the Intelliducer to a device that does not have an accessory
signal wire, connect the Intelliducer power wire to the ignition or install an in-line switch. The
Intelliducer can drain the boat battery if it is not switched.
