This document provides installation instructions for the Garmin GT36UHD and GT56UHD transducers. It includes important safety information, a list of required tools, and specific mounting considerations to ensure optimal sonar performance and prevent damage to the vessel. The guide details the preparation of the transducer for long-term water exposure, including the use of anti-fouling paint.
You need a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver, a drill with specific bits (4 mm, 3.2 mm, and 25 mm), masking tape, and marine sealant.
It must extend 3.5 mm (0.125 in.) below a fiberglass hull or 10 mm (0.375 in.) below an aluminum hull.
You should not extend the cable more than 9 m (30 ft.) to avoid signal degradation.
