element to be mounted below the bottom of the boat hull keeping the transducer out of turbulent water and insuring good hig h speed operation. The transducer will absorb the blow of any obstruction by rotating up out of the metal spring bracket without harming the transducer, or your boat.
Step 2. BRACKET INSTALLATION (Aluminum Boats) - To install the metal bracket on an aluminum boat locate the template on the transom between rows of rivets, or ribs that are on the bottom of the boat. Align the template so that the bottom corner of the template nearest the center of the transom is on the bottom edge of the transom.
To install the metal bracket on a fiberglass boat, locate the temp late on the transom in the same manner as for an aluminum boat. (See Figure C) NOTE: On boats with more than 15 degree deadrise angle it may be necessary to mount the transducer slightly off parallel with the water level.
Step 4 TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY - Insert the transducer assembly into the metal bracket from the bottom. Push up until the holes in the plastic pivot align with the uppermost holes in the bracket. Slide the O - ring on to the headed pin and insert it through th e two parts.

Operate the LCR with the boat operating at high speed. The transducer may have t o be moved in order to find an area where satisfactory operation is observed.
INSTALLING THE LCR The LCR should be mounted on a flat, solid surface for maximum stability. The low profile swivel mount has four holes drilled in the base. It is recommended that all four holes be used. Position the swivel base and drill four ¼” diameter holes.

However, as the information moves across the screen and as the bottom contour moves up or down, the displayed information will also move so that you can see the actual bottom contour.
USING THE LCR OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS Automatic Mode : In the automatic mode a continuous alarm will sound only when the bottom depth is equal to or less than the alarm set ting. Fish entering the alarm range will not trigger the alarm unless of course the fish alarm is on.
