Lowrance Mark 5x - Select a transducer location; Aligning Ratchets on Transducer bracket

3
A. Select a transducer location
To function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the
water at all times and in a location that has a smooth ow of
water when the boat is moving.
If the transducer is not placed in a smooth ow of water,
interference caused by bubbles and turbulence may cause
the product to not perform properly. The unit also could lose
bottom signal when the boat is on plane. Install transducer
at least 1’ (.3m) away from the engine’s lower unit.
B. Aligning Ratchets on Transducer bracket
You will use the ratchets to ensure the transducer is installed parallel to
the ground.
Insert the ratchets in the bracket with the letter “A” 1.
aligned with the dot stamped on the outside of the
transducer bracket.
Slide the transducer into the bracket and temporarily 2.
slide the bolt through the transducer bracket.
