Garmin GT54UHD-TM Ultra High-Definition Scanning Sonar All-in-one Transducer T - Page 3

2 Drive the boat at a slow speed. If the chartplotter appears to be working properly, gradually increase speed while observing the chartplotter. 3 If the sonar signal is suddenly lost or the bottom return is severely degraded, note the speed at which this occurs. 4 Return the boat to the speed at which the signal was lost, and make moderate turns in both directions while observing the chartplotter. 5 If the signal strength improves while turning, adjust the transducer so that it extends another 1/8 in. (3 mm) below the transom of the boat. 6 Repeat steps 2-4 until the degradation is eliminated. 7 If the signal does not improve, move the transducer to a different location on the transom, and repeat the test. Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor Assembling the Trolling Motor Mount 1 Using the 8 mm M4 screws and 4 mm star washers , À Á attach the trolling motor mount to the transducer . Â Ã 2 Route the cable through the cable exit so the cable is on Ä the top side of the trolling motor housing when stowed. Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor NOTICE Do not cut the transducer cable. Cutting the transducer cable will void your warranty. 1 Insert the hose clamp through the slot on the transducer À mount , until equal lengths extend on both sides of the Á mount. 2 Place the transducer mount against the body of the trolling motor with the narrow end of the transducer pointed away from the propeller. 3 Secure the hose clamp around the body of the trolling motor, and tighten the hose clamp. 4 Position the transducer so it is parallel to the bottom when in use. 5 Use the included cable ties to secure the transducer cable. 6 Route the transducer cable to the installation location of the sounder while taking these precautions. • The cable should not be routed close to electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference. • The cable must not be pinched when the trolling motor is deployed or stowed.
