Installing the Transducer Cable
A 20 foot length of cable, with the connector attached, is supplied with the
transducer.
During the installation, do not cut the transducer cable or
remove the connector. Do not try to shorten or splice the cable. The
transducer cable includes several wires, along with shielding and
insulation. If the cable is cut, it cannot be repaired.
(Cutting the cable
will also void the warranty.) During installation, if you need to drill any
holes for the cable, they must be large enough to accept the connector.
This will allow you to make the installation without cutting the wire.
1. Route the cable up and over the top edge of the transom. See
Fig. 2-13. Secure the cable using cable clamps. (These clamps
are available from your local marine equipment supplier.)
If you do not want to expose the cable on the deck, you may drill a
new hole (3/4" or 19 mm) through the transom for the cable. (Re-
member this hole must be large enough to accept the cable with the
connector attached. Do not cut the cable!) To seal the opening, use
a feed-thru cap where the cable passes through the transom.
2. Run the cable through the interior of the boat. If the transducer cable
runs near another electrical wire, it may pick up electrical interference
or noise. To reduce this, try to keep the transducer cable separated
as far as possible from all other wires. This is especially important
with wiring for the boats ignition, alternator, or tachometer. Also try to
