    the QT-206 has no ON/OFF switch, you will need to wire it directly to a power source which will turn the unit on as power is applied. It may be convenient to wire the power cable directly to the Ignition Switch so that when you turn the boat on, the depth sounder immediately

INSTALLING THE TRANSDUCER The three most popular transducer styles are: • TRANSOM MOUNT - Ideal on boats with

    of the hull. A marine sealant such as RTV should be applied to the threads of the screws to prevent water seepage into the transom. Align the transducer so that the rear is 1/16 to 1/8" lower than the forward point (bow). Tighten all bolts and screws. 5. Route the cable to the QT-206, being careful

Drill a 1/8" pilot hole in the preferred transducer location. 2. Drill a 1-3/4" or 2" hole through the hull using the pilot hole as a guide

    The stem-type transducer is popular as a replacement transducer since it was the primary style used on older boats. The stem will fit the same size hole as a previously defective or obsolete transducer. Also, if your hull has a steep dead rise, the stem-type transducer will be best suited for your

    . Refer to the previous section to determine the best location for your type of boat. 2. Drill a hole "slightly" larger than the stem of the transducer. Be careful not to make it too large as you will run the risk of water leaking into the hull. 3. Cut the fairing block to the shape of

    . Do not attempt to use a Transom Mount Transducer, as the crystal is too small to ensure optimum instrument results. Selecting an Installation Location The transducer should be located where the hull laminate is dense and has no entrapped air. Generally, best operation is obtained by mounting the

    the hull thickness can vary from boat-to-boat even though they may be the same model. Thickness of the fiberglass combined with the many types of bottom conditions (sandy, rocky, muddy) can affect the readings on your digital depth sounder. This control enables you to tune your gauge more precisely

    WHEN TO USE LESS SENSITIVITY: SHALLOW READINGS Use less sensitivity when your instrument displays a series of random, shallow readings (3.5', 2.9', 4.1') and the actual depth is greater. How to Perform When looking at the rear of the instrument, this adjustment is made in a clockwise direction. (

Increasing this adjustment too much in the MORE SENSITIVITY direction can cause a "doubling" of the actual depth
