Using the Echonautics BT87H1KW - 18 is easy. First, make sure your hull's deadrise is between 16° and 24° as this transducer is a 18° tilted version. Install it following the instructions provided, ensuring the hole diameter of 87.6 mm is drilled accurately. Connect the 9 - meter cable to your compatible device. When you're out on the water, it will give you depth and temperature readings. To get the best results, especially for finding fish near structures, take advantage of its narrow beamwidth. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window (made of urethane) clean. Check the cable regularly for any signs of damage. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion of the bronze material. And always make sure the temp. sensor (NTC) is working properly. That way, you can enjoy its superior shallow - water performance and detailed bottom readings for a long time.
