Step 3: InstallInstall the Transducer
Proper transducer installation is key to getting the best performance
from your unit. If the transducer lead is too short, extension cables
are available from your Garmin dealer. Coil and secure any excess
cable.
CAUTION: DO NOT cut the transducer lead or any part of
the transducer cable. Cutting the transducer cable voids your
warranty. The cable cannot be spliced and connected to any
existing (Garmin or non-Garmin) transducer cables.
The following pages contain tips and basic installation instructions
for some popular transducers. Detailed installation instructions are
provided in the transducer kits. Some transducers might have to be
installed by a professional marine installer.
To assemble the transducer:

1. Insert the rubber washer and plastic spacer into the
transducer at the same time. DO NOT lubricate the rubber
washer.

transducer into the transducer mount.
