water beneath your boat. It does not relieve you of the
responsibility of observing the water around your boat as you
navigate.
CAUTION
Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with
these instructions could result in damage or injury.
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your
boat, you must install the Garmin
®
device according to these
instructions.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go

Tools Needed
• Drill
• 4 mm (
5
/
32
in.) and 3.2 mm (
1
/
8
in.) drill bits
• Masking tape
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Marine sealant
• 32 mm (1
1
/
4
in.) hole saw (optional)

Mounting Considerations
• You must angle the transducer correctly for your selected
mode to work properly.
• You must install the sonar module in a location with adequate
ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme
temperatures.
• You should mount the transducer in a location where it will
not be jarred when launching, hauling, or storing.
• You should mount the transducer in a location where it is not
behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake or discharge
ports, thru-hull transducers, or anything that creates air
bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. Turbulent
water may interfere with the sonar beam.
• You should mount the transducer as close to the center line
of the boat as possible.
• When mounted farther from the center of the transom, a
greater deadrise can cause the boat hull
À
to interfere with
the sonar beam
Á
, and can cause inconsistent detection on
the opposite side of the boat
Â
. The transducer is shown
from behind.
• On single-drive vessels, you must not mount the transducer
in the path of the propeller.
• On twin-drive vessels, you should mount the transducer
between the drives, if possible.
• You should mount the sonar module in a location where the
LEDs are visible.
• You should mount the sonar module in a location where the
cables can be easily connected.
