Align the transducer on the transom and drill the holes to attach the two. Tighten the bracket's mounting screws and seal with sealant. Remember to choose a location for the transducer where it will be in the water at all times at a spot with a smooth flow of current. Turbulence and bubbles are likely to cause interference with the sonar's reading.

Route the transducer cable to your Eagle 300 unit and connect the two. Avoid routing the transducer cable from other wiring on the boat to eliminate electrical noise from the engine wiring and use caution when routing the cables around wires.
