Preparingthetransducer
TheRV-100RealVision™3Dtransducer(partnumberA80464)is
suppliedalreadyattachedtoatransducerhanger.
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.

Store the transducer carrier in a safe place; you will need this
if you want to mount the transducer on a transom using the
standard mounting bracket in the future.

Note: The Setting the transducer orientation procedure is
required to ensure that your display plots port and starboard
sonar returns on the correct side of the sonar image.
Settingthetransducerorientation
Ifyouhavemountedthetransducerwiththecableexiting
