The transom mount transducer should be installed on the transom of your boat, ensuring it is submerged in water and has a clear, unobstructed view of the water beneath the hull. Avoid areas with turbulence or air bubbles.

1. Select a mounting location on the transom that is free from obstructions and allows the transducer face to be fully submerged when the boat is in the water.
2. Drill pilot holes as per the transducer mounting template (refer to the detailed installation guide in the physical owner's manual for precise measurements).
3. Secure the transducer bracket to the transom using the provided hardware.
4. Attach the transducer to its bracket, ensuring it is level and angled correctly for optimal sonar performance.

3. Power and Transducer Cable Connection

Connect the transducer/power cable to the Elite-3X unit and to your boat's 12V DC power supply.

1. Connect the multi-pin connector of the transducer/power cable to the corresponding port on the back of the Elite-3X display unit. Ensure a firm connection.
2. Connect the red wire (positive) to a fused 12V DC power source and the black wire (negative) to a reliable ground connection.
3. Route the cables neatly and securely, avoiding sharp edges or areas where they might be pinched or damaged.

  • 83 kHz: Provides a wider 60-degree conical coverage, ideal for searching large areas and displaying larger fish arches.
  • 200 kHz: Offers a narrower 20-degree conical coverage, best for enhanced target separation and tracking lures.
  You can switch between frequencies or use both simultaneously depending on your fishing needs. Refer to the menu for frequency selection.
• Broadband Sounder Detail: The display shows fish targets, bottom contour, structure detail, bottom hardness, and thermoclines. Adjust sensitivity settings via the menu to optimize the display for different water conditions.
• Fish I.D. Option: For beginners, enable the Fish I.D. feature in the settings. This will display fish icons instead of raw arches, making it easier to identify fish.
