The Raymarine A80480 bracket is designed to mount the RV-100 RealVision 3D transom-mounted transducer to the side of a jack plate. It allows precise height adjustment of the transducer to optimize performance by reducing turbulence and aeration, ensuring clearer sonar imaging without interference.

Using this mount provides several advantages for optimizing sonar performance. It allows precise adjustment of the transducer depth, which is critical to minimize turbulence and aeration generated by the propeller or hull. This results in improved image quality for SideVision, DownVision, and RealVision 3D functions, with increased definition and optimal coverage of the seabed and underwater structures.

The package for the mounting bracket on the Jack Plate RV-100 (reference A80480) contains the following items:

One Jack Plate bracket (Mounting bracket)Four mounting fasteners (Mounting fixings)Two bracket fasteners (Bracket fixings)The necessary installation documentation

Unlike traditional transom mounts or hull/through-hull mounts (such as the A80479), the RV-100 jack plate mount allows precise adjustment of the transducer depth. This flexibility is critical to minimize turbulence and aeration caused by the propeller or hull, resulting in improved sonar image quality. Other mounts are typically fixed or offer fewer adjustment options.

This mount optimizes the performance of SideVision, DownVision, and RealVision 3D images by enabling precise transducer positioning. Proper positioning minimizes cavitation and turbulence, ensuring better definition and optimal coverage of the seabed and underwater structures, even on high-speed vessels.

The Raymarine A80480 Jack Plate mounting bracket is specifically designed for the Raymarine RV-100 RealVision 3D transom-mounted transducer (part number A80464).

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

The mount is designed to be installed on the side of a "jack plate". However, it is strongly recommended to consult the manufacturer of your "jack plate" before drilling additional holes to ensure a secure and functional installation and verify specific compatibility.

Yes, for some installations, a Jack Plate RV-100 spacer kit (reference A80482), sold separately, may be required. This kit ensures sufficient clearance between the transducer and the jack plate movement.

For optimal performance, the transducer must be installed in an area with minimal turbulence and aeration. It is recommended to:

Mount the transducer on the side of the jack plate. Ensure the transducer does not interfere with the jack plate’s operation. Always mount the transducer on the side of the propeller that rotates downward to minimize cavitation. Position it at an appropriate distance from the propellers to avoid the wake. Avoid areas of turbulence caused by steps, ribs, rows of rivets, and seams. The optimal location may vary depending on the hull type and the jack plate’s mounting position.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines for your specific jack plate model.

If in doubt, consult a marine electronics technician.

You may need to drill additional holes in your jack plate if the existing mounting points are insufficient. Before drilling, it is imperative to consult the manufacturer of your jack plate to ensure the chosen location will not interfere with its operation.

You must use only neutral-cure polyurethane sealants of marine grade. Do NOT use sealants containing acetate or silicone, as they can damage plastic parts.

It is important to route the cable to its final destination before securing the locking clamp. The supplied locking clamp must be attached to the cable connector to ensure a secure connection. A specific tool is provided to help install the split ring of the clamp without damaging it.

The Jack Plate RV-100 spacer kit (reference A80482) is not always required, but may be needed for certain installations. It is used to provide sufficient clearance between the transducer and the movement of the jack plate, or to position the transducer further from the propellers if necessary. This kit is sold separately.

Raymarine recommends installation by a Raymarine-certified installer. Certified installation may qualify for enhanced warranty benefits. However, installation instructions are provided if you choose to install it yourself.

During installation, ensure the vessel's electrical power is turned off. Never connect or disconnect equipment while powered, unless specified otherwise. Use only marine-grade sealants and test the transducer only in water to prevent overheating. Do not overtighten bolts to avoid damaging the transducer.

A certified installation by an authorized Raymarine installer may entitle you to enhanced product warranty coverage. For further details, contact your Raymarine dealer and review the separate warranty document provided with your product.

You can register your warranty on the Raymarine website, typically at www.raymarine.com/warranty. Registration enables access to applicable warranty benefits.
