Selecting transducer location
The DSI transducer must be in the water at all times
and in a location that has a smooth flow of water
when the boat is moving.
If it is not placed in a smooth flow of water,
interference from bubbles and turbulence may
diminish product performance. The unit also could
lose bottom signal when the boat is on plane.
Install the transducer at least 1’ (.3m) away from
the engine’s lower unit.

Aligning transducer ratchets
Ratchets are used to
ensure the transducer is
installed parallel to the ground.
1. Insert the ratchets in the bracket with
the letter “A” aligned with the dot
stamped on the outside of the trans-
ducer bracket.
2. Slide the transducer into the bracket
and temporarily slide the bolt through
the transducer bracket.
