Topside Float Features

The Topside float has three features you should be aware of.

Transducer Grip

The transducer grip at the bottom of the sting grasps the mounting feature on the transducer. This is an interference fit. Don't use the sting for leverage when inserting the Topside unit, react the force by pushing on the other side of the grip!

Cable Horns

The float includes a feature to help keep the transducer cable rom tangling. To use:

  • Extend the sting to the desired length.

  • Insert the transducer into the grip.

  • Wrap the transducer cable around the sting two or three times.

  • Wind the transducer cable clockwise around the horns at the bottom of the float section, and snap the cable into the cable hook.

Tether Eyelet

Use the tether eyelet at the bottom of the float to attach a tether. Use a tether to help deploy and retrieve the assembly, and to keep the assembly from drifting off. NEVER use the transducer cable as a tether.
