  • It should be far enough away from equipment or cabling that may cause interference, such as masthead lights or Radar cabling.

  • There must be a viable route for the transducer’s cable to be routed to the supplied gateway.

  • The vane and cups must be able to spin freely.

  • There is sufficient access for installation and servicing.
