Beforemountingthetransducerusingtheaccessorybracket,you

mustremovethetransducerfromthetransducerhanger.

1.Removethebracketﬁxingbolt(5)andwasher(6).

Store the loose parts in a safe place; you will need these parts

if you want to mount the transducer on a transom using the

standard mounting bracket in the future.
