12-pin Transducer Adapter Box
Installation Instructions
Mounting Location Considerations
Use the adapter to connect your 12-pin sounder to a compatible
bare wire, 12-pin, 8-pin, or 6-pin transducer.
• The adapter cable from the device should reach the
transducer connector on the sounder easily when the device
is mounted.
• The device should not be submerged in water.
• The device should be mounted at least 15.25 cm (6 in.) from
a source of electrical interference, such as a motor.
• When a mounting surface is unsuitable for screws, you must
secure the device to a structure using cable ties (not
included).
Tools Needed

Connecting the Device to a Transducer
Preparing the Transducer to Connect to the Adapter
Before you can begin the installation, you must check your
transducer compatibility. Water speed wheels are not supported
on the 12-pin sounder connector.

For a transducer with a 12-pin, 8-pin, or 6-pin connector, cut
off the connector cable as close to the connector as possible.
