Montážní stupeň pro snímač RV-100 RealVision 3D

The Raymarine step A80479 mount is a dedicated mounting bracket specifically designed for the RV-100 RealVision 3D fishfinder transducer. It is intended for installation on horizontal surfaces or beneath the step (transom) of a stepped stern on vessels.

The main advantage of this mount is to optimize the performance of your RV-100 RealVision 3D sounder. It positions it in an area of water that is as calm as possible, away from the propellers, which minimizes turbulence and aeration. This ensures clearer and more accurate 3D, DownVision, and SideVision images.

The A80479 mounting bracket is supplied with the following items:

The step bracket (Hull / Step bracket)The required mounting fasteners (Fixings)The installation documentation

This A80479 bracket is specifically designed for hulls with chines or installations on horizontal surfaces. It differs from standard transom-mount brackets supplied with the RV-100 transducer (part A80464) and jack plate mounting kits (such as A80480), which are suited to other types of installations.

This mount is compatible exclusively with the RAYMARINE RV-100 RealVision 3D transducer (part number A80464).

No, this mount is not suitable for boats where the transom is located behind the propellers. It is designed to be installed on a horizontal surface or under a stepped transom (step), in a calm water area.

No, the A80479 mount is designed specifically and exclusively for the RAYMARINE RV-100 RealVision 3D transducer. It is not compatible with other Raymarine transducer models.

For optimal performance, the transducer must be installed on a horizontal surface in a hull location with minimal turbulence and aeration. It must be mounted at a sufficient distance from propellers to avoid their wake and away from elements that can cause turbulence such as ribs, chines, rows of rivets, and strakes.

Yes, the RV-100 transducer must be removed from its original mounting bracket (the transducer bracket) before attaching it to the A80479 step bracket. It is recommended to keep the original parts in a safe place in case you wish to reinstall the transducer on its standard bracket in the future.

You must use only neutral polyurethane sealants of marine quality to seal mounting holes. It is important NOT to use sealants containing acetate or silicone, as they can damage the plastic components of the product.

The A80479 mount provides flexibility for the transducer cable routing. You can install the transducer with the cable exiting toward the bow or the stern of the vessel. P-clips are included to secure the cable run.

Yes, if you installed the transducer with the cable exiting toward the stern of your vessel, you must enable the "Reverse Port/Starboard" option on your Raymarine multifunction display (MFD). This setting is required for the sonar display to correctly show port and starboard sonar returns on the sonar image. You can typically find this option in the menu: Menu > Settings > Sonar > Reverse Port/Starboard.

No, you must test and operate the depth sounder only when it is submerged in water. Do NOT operate it out of the water, as this could cause overheating and damage the device.

Yes, it is imperative to ensure that the vessel’s electrical power is turned off before starting installation of this product. Never connect or disconnect the equipment while power is on, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the documentation.

No, you must not connect this device to a system with a positive ground.

No, the RV-100 transducer must be removed from any existing mount before being attached to the A80479 mount. The installation process involves directly securing the transducer to the dedicated step mount.

The locking collar for the cable is supplied separately. Here are the general steps to secure it:

Slide the locking collar onto the end of the connector.Slide the split ring onto the connector, using the provided tool to expand it and push it into place.Slide the O-ring onto the connector, ensuring it is properly seated.Slide the locking collar to the end of the plug and rotate it so the tabs align with the split ring channels.Pull the locking collar firmly toward the end of the plug until it clicks into place on the split ring, securing the connection.

Yes, Raymarine recommends installation certified by a Raymarine-certified installer. A certified installation may qualify for enhanced warranty benefits for the product.
