2. The epoxy consists of the epoxy itself and a hardener. Remove the
two compounds from the package and place them on the paper plate.
Thoroughly stir the two compounds together until the mixture has a
uniform color and consistency. Do not mix too fast or bubbles will
form in the epoxy. After mixing, you have 20 minutes to complete the
installation before the epoxy becomes unworkable.
Spread a thin layer of epoxy (about 1/16" or 1.5 mm thick) on the face
of the transducer as shown in the previous figure. Make sure there
are no air pockets in the epoxy layer! Then, apply the remaining ep-
oxy to the sanded area on the hull.
3. Press the transducer into the epoxy, twisting and turning it to force
any air bubbles out from under the transducer face. Stop pressing
when you bottom out on the hull. When you're finished, the face of
the transducer should be parallel with the hull, with a minimum
amount of epoxy between the hull and transducer.
4. Apply a weight, such as a brick, to hold the transducer in place while
the epoxy cures. Be careful not to bump the transducer while the ep-
oxy is wet. Leave the weight in place for a minimum of three hours.
Allow the epoxy to cure for 24 hours before moving the boat.
5. After the epoxy has cured, route the cable to the sonar unit and it's
ready to use.
Speed/Temperature Sensors
Optional Temperature Sensor
All the units in this series can display water temperature using the TS-
1BL temp sensor. This is an analog temp sensor that plugs directly into
the sonar socket on the back of your unit. However, the units in this
series come packed with a transducer with a temp sensor built-in.
The Sonar socket on your unit is designed to receive only one tempera-
ture sensor. Since your transducer contains a built-in temp sensor, at-
taching the TS-1BL to your unit's Sonar socket will override the tem-
perature information provided by the transducer's temp sensor. Your
unit will only display the temperature provided by the TS-1BL.
Most users will prefer to use the temp sensor built into the transducer.
If you do wish to purchase an optional TS-1BL, see accessory ordering
information inside the back cover of this manual.
Optional Speed Sensor Installation
All the units in this series can display speed and distance traveled, but
only the LMS-335C DF comes packed with a speed sensor. If you wish
