Ensure the mounting location on the transom is clear of obstructions and provides a clean water flow for optimal sonar performance. The display unit should be mounted in a location that is easily viewable and accessible from the helm, away from direct sunlight if possible, to prevent glare. Refer to the detailed installation guide included with your product for specific instructions on mounting the display and transducer, wiring, and power connections. Proper grounding is essential for safe operation.
