° –16°

Tools & Materials

Safety goggles

Dust mask

Digital level

Screwdrivers

Weak solvent (alcohol)

Straight edge

Electric drill

Drill bits:

Mounting holes 5.4mm, #3, or 13/64"

Transom hole (optional) 20mm or 13/16"

Cable clamp holes 3mm or 1/8"

Masking tape

Marine sealant (suitable for below waterline)

Putty knife

Pencil

Zip-ties

Water-based antifouling paint (mandatory in salt water)

Pretest

Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin the paddlewheel.

Check for a speed reading and the approximate air temperature. If

there is no reading(s) or it is inaccurate, check the connections

and repeat the test. If there is still no reading(s) or it is inaccurate,

return the product to your place of purchase.

Mounting Location

CAUTION: Do not mount in an area of turbulence or bubbles:

near water intake or discharge openings; behind strakes, struts,

fittings, or hull irregularities

CAUTION: Avoid mounting the sensor where the boat may be

supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.

• For the best performance, the sensor must be in contact with

smooth water. To identify an area of clean water, observe the

water flow off the transom while the boat is underway.

• Mount the sensor as close to the centerline (keel) of the boat as

possible to ensure the sensor remains in the water when the

boat is turning.

• Single drive boat—Mount at least 75mm (3") beyond the

swing radius of the propeller (see Figure 1). The starboard side

where the propeller blades are moving downward is preferred.

• Twin drive boat—Mount the sensor between the drives.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSOWNER’S GUIDE &

Record the information found on the cable tag for future reference.

Part No._________________Date___________

Follow the precautions below for optimal product

performance and to reduce the risk of property

damage, personal injury, and/or death.

WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust

mask when installing

WARNING: When the boat is placed in the water,

immediately check for leaks around the screws and

any other holes drilled in the hull.

CAUTION: Never pull, carry, or hold the sensor by the

cable as this may sever internal connections.

CAUTION: Never strike the sensor.

CAUTION: Never use solvents. Cleaners, fuel, paint,

sealants, and other products may contain strong

solvents, such as acetone, which attack many plastics

greatly reducing their strength.

IMPORTANT: Please read the instructions completely

before proceeding with the installation. These

instructions supersede any other instructions in your

instrument manual if they differ.
