APPENDIX > INSTALLING THE TRANSDUCER Transom Mount Transducer The following diagram is for mounting the transducer included with the GPSMAP 292/298 with transducer package. If the transducer lead is too short, extension cables are available from your Garmin dealer. DO NOT cut the transducer lead or any part of the transducer cable, as this will void your warranty. The cable cannot be spliced and connected to any existing (Garmin or non-Garmin) transducer cables. NOTE: DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake, or discharge ports, or anything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. It is important that the transducer is in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance. Apply marine sealant to all screw threads to prevent water from seeping into the transom. OK Mount the transducer parallel with the bottom. Mount the transducer cable cover well above the waterline. Transducer should extend 1/8" below fiberglass hull or 3/8" below aluminum hull Make sure that the transducer is below water level when the boat is on plane at high speed Do not mount transducer directly in the path of the prop. The transducer can cause cavitation that may degrade the boat's performance and damage the prop. GPSMAP 292/298 Owner's Manual 91

The following diagram is for mounting the transducer included with the GPSMAP 292/298 with transducer package. If the transducer lead
is too short, extension cables are available from your Garmin dealer. DO NOT cut the transducer lead or any part of the transducer cable, as
this will void your warranty. The cable cannot be spliced and connected to any existing (Garmin or non-Garmin) transducer cables.
NOTE:
DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake, or discharge ports, or anything that creates air bubbles or
causes the water to become turbulent. It is important that the transducer is in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance.
Do not mount transducer directly in the
path of the prop. The transducer can cause
cavitation that may degrade the boat's performance
and damage the prop.
Make sure that the transducer is
below water level when the boat
is on plane at high speed
Apply marine sealant to all
screw threads to prevent water
from seeping into the transom.
