SUMMIT FISHING Active Target Transducer Mount
Product Information
The Summit’s Active Target Transducer Mounts are designed to be used with the Active Target Transducer system. These mounts areessential for securely attaching and positioning the transducer on your fishing vessel.
It is crucial to use the hardware provided with your Active Target Transducer system for optimal performance and reliability. The mount includes a shoulder bolt that needs to be fully tightened to ensure a secure connection between the mount and thetransducer. The recommended torque for tightening the shoulder bolt is 2.5 ft-lb or 3.4 nm. This torque level is ideal for achieving a firm and stable attachment while preventing over-tightening that could potentially damage the equipment.
Product Usage Instructions
- Start by assembling the Active Target Transducer Mount according to the instructions provided in the product manual.
- Ensure that you have the necessary hardware provided with your Active Target Transducer system.
- Position the transducer mount in the desired location on your fishing vessel, ensuring it is compatible with your fishing setup and doesn’t obstruct any other equipment.
- Place the Active Target Transducer onto the mount, aligning the mounting holes on the transducer with those on the mount.
- Insert the shoulder bolt through the aligned holes on both the mount and the transducer.
- Tighten the shoulder bolt using a torque wrench or appropriate tool, applying a torque of 2.5 ft-lb or 3.4 nm. Ensure that the bolt is fully tightened and that the shoulder bottoms out on the transducer.
- Double-check the tightness of the bolt periodically during use to ensure it hasn’t loosened up. If you notice any loosening, re-tighten the shoulder bolt to the recommended torque level.
By following these usage instructions and ensuring the shoulder bolt is properly tightened, you can securely mount and use your Active Target Transducer system for accurate and reliable fishing sonar performance.
Summit’s Active Target transducer mounts must be used with the hardware provided with your Active Target Transducer system. It is critical that the shoulder bolt is fully tightened, and the shoulder bottoms out on the transducer. The recommended torque for the shoulder bolt is 2.5 ft-lb or 3.4 nm.
Troubleshooting.
- If the mount feels loose or does not not “click” into position, either the rubber spacer is missing or the shoulder bolt is loose. Without the rubber spacer, the mount will never fully tighten.
- If the mount is initially tight and then loosens after use, the shoulder of the bolt did not bottom out on the mount and the bolt has loosened up.
