Because water is necessary to carry the sounder’s sonar signal, the
transducer must be in the water to work properly. You cannot get a

When you place your boat in the water, check for leaks around
any screw holes that were added below the water line. DO NOT
leave your boat in the water for an extended period of time without
checking for leaks.
