Installation of bracket
1. Cut out the installation template shown below.
2. At the selected location, position the template, so the arrow at the bottom is aligned with the
bottom edge of the transom. Being sure the template is parallel to the waterline, tape it in
place.
Warning: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
3. Using a 4 mm, #23, or 9/64" bit, drill three holes 22 mm (7/8") deep at the locations indicated.
To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the bit 22 mm (7/8") from the point.
Fiberglass hull: Minimize surface cracking by chamfering the gelcoat. If a chamfer bit or
countersink bit is not available, start drilling with a 6 mm or 1/4" bit to a depth of 1 mm (1/16").
4. If you know your transom angle, the bracket is designed for a standard 13° transom angle.
11° - 18° angle: No shim is required. Skip to step 3 in "Adjusting".
Other angles: The shim is required. Skip to step 2 of "Adjusting".
If you do not know the transom angle, temporarily attach the bracket and sensor to the tran-
som to determine if the plastic shim is needed.
5. Using the two #10 x 1-1/4" self-tapping screws, temporarily screw the bracket to the hull.
DO NOT tighten the screws completely at this time. Follow the step 1-4 in "Attaching the Sen-
sor to the Bracket", before proceeding with "Adjusting".
