If the transducer must be kicked up for installation, boat service
or loading, the nylok nut on the end of the bracket axle can be
loosened. Tighten the nut to 50 inch pounds of torque before
operating the boat.
Kick-up Bracket Replacement Parts
If during installation parts are somehow lost are damaged, they
can be replaced as follows:
Part# 17-0088-008 - Spray Shield Kit - Includes: Spray Shield,
four Mounting Bolts and Nuts, Rubber Grommet and four Large
Mounting Screws.
Part# 17-0089-008 - Transom Transducer Hardware Kit -
Includes: Complete Bracket Axle Assembly and four Large
Mounting Screws.
Part# 17-0056-008 - Kick-Up Bracket Assembly - Includes:
Complete Bracket Axle Assembly, four Large Mounting Screws
and the Stainless Steel Mounting Bracket.
Bracket Axle Assembly
On some boats it will be neccessary to remove the Bracket Axle
during installation. See the diagram to the left and instructions
below for details on assembling the axle.
1. Place one stainless steel washer onto the axle against the hex
end.
2. Place one small stainless steel spacer against washer.
3. Slide two urethane spacers over the small steel spacer.
4. With the transducer bracket in place, align the long stainless
steel spacer with the mounting holes of the mounting bracket
and slide the axle in place through the spacer.
5. Place one small stainless steel spacer against the transducer
bracket.
6. Slide two urethane spacers over the small steel spacer.
7. Place one stainless steel washer onto the axle against the
urethane spacer.
8. Place the nylok nut onto the threaded end of the axle and
tighten to 50 inch pounds. If you do not have a torque wrench,
tighten until the nut will not turn easily. The stainless steel
spacers should prevent over-tightening.
Transom Mounting Location
The main source of vessel acoustic noise is the propeller. It is
very important to position the transducer to minimize noise
pickup and provide as clear a view as possible of the water
ahead of the boat. Study the hull shape of the vessel carefully to
determine the best transducer mounting location. To achieve
optimal operation the transducer should be mounted in a spot
which:
* Minimizes acoustic noise reception.
