1: Remove the adapter plate at the front of the Guardian and replace it with the scooped transducer guard (included in the small parts package that comes with your new kayak):
2: Feed the transducer cable through the opening in the scooped plate, and use the parts configuration as shown in the drawing below to mount to the vertical post on the inside of the Guardian. Notice the extension tabs and hardware (included in the small parts package with your new kayak) used to extend forward off of the transducer mounting post to reach the transom mount built into your TripleShot. Referencing the Skimmer Style transducer instructions will guide you through installing the extension tabs to the post. Fasteners and friction washers to be used with the extension tabs can be found inside the small parts package:
3: Secure the rear of the transducer with the zip tie included with your TripleShot for a flush fit to the bottom of Guardian.
4. Be sure the retraction feature of the Guardian plate is activated by removing the screws along the frame of Guardian. Additionally, the retraction control line will need to be tied to the center of the bridal. Note the arrow indicating the direction the control line is routed around the pulley underneath the scupper cover plate:
5. Run the transducer cable through the scupper above Guardian and back into the hull through the 3-way plug, secure the scupper cover plate, reinstall Guardian to the brass inserts in the bottom of the hull and carry out the remainder of the fishfinder installation.
