,'..=.,-"".._,~..= --= -- - Installation- Transducer-General, Transducer The MC 800 is designed to work with either a transom mount type 200 KHZ transducer, or a thru-hull mount 200 KHz transducer.
<: ~ -= Installation- Transom Mount I nstallation of the transom mounted type of transducer is illustrated below. Ideally, the transducer should be mounted so that the face of the transducer is perpendicular with the sea bottom.

-"'--~---",,---,,= -=== Installation-Thru-Hull Mount Drill a hole in the bottom of the boat large enough to accomodate the stem of the transducer. Use fairing blocks to "sandwich" the transducer and to waterproof the area of installation.
--- -0' =-- " Installation-Wet Box Mount .. The second best type of mounting (where practical) is the "Wet Box" method. With this type of mount, it is an absolute requirement that the hull is solid, and not a double hull or cored hull design.
~ .. .. 1""~c,,~=~, -=-=-- - Installation-Direct Mount In this mounting method, the transducer is mounted directly to the hull. At the location you have selected for mounting, apply epoxy or air-free silicone rubber cement to the hull and to the face of the transducer.
-- I nsta lIati on - Ca bli n9 A 24' (7 meter) length of interconnecting cable with connector is supplied with each transducer and sensor assembly, and normally should not be shortened or lengthened. If only a short cable run is required, it is recommended that the excess be coiled and stored out of the way.
