Suport step pentru montarea sondei de tablou RV-100 RealVision 3D

The Raymarine step mount A80479 is a dedicated mounting bracket for the RV-100 RealVision 3D fishfinder. It is designed to be installed on horizontal surfaces or beneath the step (transom deadrise) 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 the calmest water area 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 comes with the following items:

The step bracket (Hull / Step bracket)The necessary fasteners for installation (Fixings)The installation documentation

This A80479 mount is specifically designed for stepped hulls 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 installation types.

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 step in a stepped transom, in a calm water area.

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

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

Yes, it is necessary to remove the RV-100 transducer from its original mounting bracket (the transducer’s hanger) 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 product's plastic parts.

The A80479 mount provides flexibility for routing the depth sounder cable. You can install the transducer with the cable exiting toward the bow (front) or the stern (rear) of the vessel. P-clips are supplied to secure the cable routing.

Yes, if you have 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 step is required for the depth sounder to correctly display port and starboard sonar returns on the sonar image. You will typically find this option in the following 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 active 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 cable locking collar is supplied separately. Here are the general steps to secure it:

Slide the locking collar onto the connector end.Slide the split ring onto the connector, using the supplied 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 channels of the split ring.Pull the locking collar firmly toward the end of the plug until it clicks into place on the split ring, securing the connection.
