Cable routing
Cable routing
To avoid interference, the cable must be routed as far away from VHF radio antenna cables as possible.
The transducer cable’s connector is supplied with a separate locking collar assembly. Ensure that you route the cable all the way to your compatible sonar module or MFD before attaching the locking collar.
Check that the cable is long enough. If you are installing split-pair transducers, you must use a Y-cable (A80478) along with an extension cable to connect the transducers to your to your compatible sonar module or MFD.
Use grommets in any pass-through holes to prevent damage to the transducer cable.
Secure the cable at regular intervals using suitable cable clips (not supplied).
Take care not to apply excessive strain to the cable where it leaves the transducer. Where possible, allow the cable to lay naturally as it leaves the transducer, before securing it with cable clips.
Do not bend the transducer cable beyond its minimum bend radius. This is particularly important at the point where the cable leaves the transducer.
Any excess cable should be coiled up at a convenient location.
