Determining the Proper Location Follow the steps below if you are mounting t he transducer on the transom. As a boat moves through the water, turbulence is generated by the weight of he boat, and the thrust of the propeller(s).
horizontal lines on the template. If not, tilt the template slightly so that the lower edge of the transom falls within the allowable range. Using a pencil or punch, mark the three mounting holes onto the transom. Using a 5/32” bit, drill the three holes to a depth of approximately 1”.
Assembling the Transducer Body Attach the Pivot to the tra nsducer body, as shown in the illustration below, using the two ¼’ - 20 x 5/8” machine screws, toothed washers, and square nuts. The toothed washers must fit on the inside of the transducer ears.
Installing The Transducer Body To The Boat Slide the assembled transducer into the metal bracket from the bottom, alignin g the large hole at the top of the bracket with the hole in the pivot. Insert the pin the pivot holes in the bracket and pivot. The headed pin can be inserted from either side of the bracket.
The screw has a thread - locking compound on the threads to prevent loosening, and should not be fully tightened until a ll adjustments are made. Adjusting The Running Position Of The Transducer The running position of the transducer is now completely adjustable.
Note: On some hulls, it may be necessary to angle the transducer so that the back end is ¼” lower than the front. Next, adjust the height of the assembly so the face of the transducer is 1/8” to ¼” beneath the bottom of the transom, and fully tighten the three mounting screws.
Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, which can be used to route the transducer cable forward. The transducer cable should not be cut or shortened, and care sh ould be used not to damage the cable insulation.
Insert the HDR 600 from the front of the panel. Install the “U” bracket and wing nut from the rear of the panel ensuring that the face of the HDR 600 is rotated upright. If the panel into which you are mounting the unit is greater than ¼” thick, the “U” bracket may appear too long.
CAUTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 - volt electric systems. Be sure your HDR 600 i s connected to a 12 VDC power supply. If you must wire the HDR 600 directly to a battery, be sure to install an in - line fuse holder and one amp fuse (not included), for the protection of the unit.
When in an active function, a single press to an arrow button will result in a single incremental adjustme nt. Pressing and holding an arrow button will sequence through a range of adjustments. If no adjustment is made for 5 seconds, the unit will return to normal operation.
After your selection is made, the unit will return to normal operation after 5 seconds. The selected units icon should now be visible as shown in figure 8.
2. There is no bottom reading visible on the display. There are a number of possible causes for this condition. If the loss of bottom information occurs only at high speeds, then a transducer adjustment is needed.
