Speed Sensor Installation

If you wish to purchase an optional sensor for your unit, refer to the

accessory ordering information inside the back cover of this manual.

The following instructions describe how to install the speed sensor.

Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 5/8"drill bit, 1/8" drill bit for

pilot holes, screwdriver. Required supplies for this job include: four #8

stainless steel wood screws (3/4" long), high quality, marine grade above-

or below-waterline caulking compound.

First find a location on the boat's transom where the water flow is smooth-

est. Don't mount the sensor behind strakes or ribs. These will disturb the

water flow to the speed sensor. Make sure the sensor will remain in the

water when the boat is on plane. Also make sure the location doesn't inter-

fere with the boat's trailer. Typically, the sensor is mounted about one foot

to the side of the transom's centerline.

Once you've determined the proper location for the unit, place the sen-

sor on the transom. The bottom of the bracket should be flush with the

hull's bottom. Using the sensor as a template, mark the hull for the

screws' pilot holes. Drill four 1/8" holes, one in each end of the slots.

Mount the sensor to the hull using #8 stainless steel wood screws (not

included). Use a high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline

caulking compound to seal the screws. Make sure the sensor is flush

with the bottom of the hull and tighten the screws.
