INTRODUCTIONThank you for purchasing an Eagle sonar. Your sonar unit is a high qualitysonar designed for both professional and novice fishermen. All of oursonars have an automatic feature that finds and displays the bottom, fish,structure, and more! All you have to do is press the on key. However, ifyou wish to fine tune the unit, all you have to do is press the menu key. TheStrata series has powerful features available through easy-to-use menus.

To get started with your Eagle unit, first read the installation section. Thisis where it all begins. Improper installation can cause problems down theroad. After you’ve read the instructions, install the unit, then read the restof the manual. The more you know about your unit, the better it will performfor you. Take this manual for reference when you head for the water.

NOTICE!The storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degreesFahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celcius). Extended storage in tempera-tures higher or lower than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in yourunit. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

Transducer InstallationThe transducer included with your sonar is a transom mount transducerThe “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducerstrikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does “kick-up”, the bracket can easily be pushed back in place without tools.

Read this manual carefully before attempting the installation. Determinewhich of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Use extreme careif mounting the transducer inside the hull, since once it is epoxied intoposition, the transducer usually cannot be removed. Remember, thetransducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation.

Location - General1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of

water at all times. If the transducer is to be mounted inside the hull,then the chosen location must be in the water at all times. If thetransducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference willshow on the sonar’s display in the form of random lines or dotswhenever the boat is moving.

2. The transducer should be installed with it’s face pointing straightdown, if possible.

3. If the transducer is mounted on the transom, make certain it doesn’tinterfere with the trailer or hauling of the boat. Also, don’t mount itcloser than approximately one foot from the engine’s lower unit. Thiswill prevent cavitation interference with the propeller. Typically, thetransducer should be mounted as deep in the water as possible. Thisincreases the chance that it will be in the water in high speed andreduces the possiblity of air bubble interference.

4. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on theboat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps, and areatorscan be displayed on the sonar’s screen. Use caution when routingthe transducer cable around these wires.

5

Shoot-thru-hull v.s. Transom Mounting(Strata 128 and Strata 128 Plus Only)Typically, shoot-thru-hull installations give excellent high speed opera-tion and good to excellent depth capability. There is no possibility ofdamage from floating objects. It can't be knocked off when docking orloading on the trailer.

However, the shoot-thru-hull installation does have its drawbacks. One,some loss of sensitivity does occur, even on the best hulls. This variesfrom hull to hull, even from different installations on the same hull. Thisis caused by differences in hull layup and construction. Two, the angleof the transducer cannot be adjusted for the best fish arches. This canbe a problem on some hulls that sit with the bow high when at rest or atslow trolling speeds. Follow the procedure listed in the shoot-thru-hullinstallation section in this manual to determine if you can satisfactorilyshoot through the hull.

DOT

Transducer Assembly and Mounting - All UnitsThe best way to install this transducer is to loosely assemble all of theparts first, place the transducer’s bracket against the transom and see ifyou can move the transducer so that it’s parallel with the ground.

1. Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracketas shown below. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet.Place each ratchet into the bracket with the letter “A” aligned with thedot stamped into the metal bracket. This position sets the transducer’scoarse angle adjustment for a fourteen (14) degree transom. Mostoutboard and stern-drive transoms have a fourteen degree angle.

6

2. Slide the transducer between the two ratchets. Temporally slide thebolt though the transducer assembly and hold it against the transom.Looking at the transducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust sothat its face is parallel to the ground. If it does, then the “A” position iscorrect for your hull. If the transducer’s face isn’t parallel with the ground,remove the transducer and ratchets from the bracket. Place the ratch-ets into the holes in the bracket with the letter “B” aligned with the dotstamped in the bracket. Reassemble the transducer and bracket andplace them against the transom. Again, check to see if you can movethe transducer so it’s parallel with the ground. If you can, then go tostep 3. If it doesn’t, repeat step 2, but use a different letter until you canplace the transducer on the transom correctly.

3. Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemblethe transducer as shown at left. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.

4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. Thetransducer should be roughly parallel to the ground. The bottom of thetransducer bracket should be in line with the bottom of the hull. Don'tlet the bracket extend below the hull! Mark the center of the slots forthe mounting holes. Drill two 5/32" holes in the marked locations forthe #10 screws supplied with the transducer.

8

5. Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with thecable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown above. At-tach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or downuntil it’s aligned properly on the transom as shown above. Tighten thebracket’s mounting screws. Adjust the transducer so that it’s parallel tothe ground and tighten the lock nut until it touches the flat washer, thenadd 1/4 turn. Don’t over tighten the lock nut! If you do, the transducerwon’t “kick-up” if it strikes an object in the water.

6. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Make certain to leavesome slack inthe cable at the transducer as shown above. If possible,route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electri-cal noise from the engine’s wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires andcables, and aerators can be picked up by the sonar. Use caution whenrouting the transducer cable around these wires.

IMPORTANT!Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the transducer. Thiscan prevent the transducer from entering the boat if it is knocked off athigh speed.

7. Make a test run to determine the results. If the bottom is lost at highspeed, or if noise appears on the display, try sliding the transducerbracket down. This puts the transducer deeper into the water, hope-fully below the turbulence causing the noise. Don't allow the trans-ducer bracket to go below the bottom of the hull!

2. Slide the adjustable strap supplied with the TMB-S through the slot inthe transducer bracket and wrap it around the trolling motor. Positionthe transducer to aim straight down when the motor is in the water.Tighten the strap securely. Route the transducer cable alongside thetrolling motor shaft. Use plastic ties (not included) to attach thetransducer cable to the trolling motor shaft. Make certain there isenough slack in the cable for the motor to turn freely. Route the cableto the sonar unit and the transducer is ready for use.

1. Attach the TMB-S bracket to the transducer as shown below using thehardware supplied with the transducer. (Note: The internal tooth washeris supplied with the TMB-S.)

SHOOT-THRU-HULL(Strata 128 and Strata 128 Plus Only)The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an areathat does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglasslayers. The sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. A success-ful transducer installation can be made on hulls with flotation materials(such as plywood, balsa wood, or foam) between layers of fiberglass ifthe material is removed from the chosen area. For example, somemanufacturers use a layer of fiberglass, then a core of balsa wood,finishing with an outer layer of fiberglass. Removing the inner layer offiberglass and the balsa wood core exposes the outer layer of fiberglass.The transducer can then be epoxied directly to the outer layer of fiber-glass. After the epoxy cures, the hull is watertight and structurally sound.Remember, the sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. Any airbubbles in the fiberglass or the epoxy will reduce or eliminate the sonarsignals.

To choose the proper location for thru-hull mounting, anchor the boat in60 feet of water. Add a little water to the sump of the boat. Plug the

transducer into the sonar unit, turn it on, then hold the transducer overthe side of the boat. Adjust the sensitivity and range controls until asecond bottom echo is seen on the display. (you will need to turn bothautomatic and ASP off.) Don’t touch the controls once they’ve been set.Next, take the transducer out of the water and place it in the water in thesump of the boat. Observe the sonar signal to see if there is a notice-able decrease in sensitivity. The second bottom signal may disappearand the bottom signal may decrease in intensity. Move the transduceraround to find the best location. If the sensitivity control has to beincreased greatly to compensate, then the transducer should bemounted on the outside of the hull. If not, then mark the location thatshot through the hull the best and follow the instructions on the nextpages for a shoot-thru-hull mounting.

2. Follow the instructions on the epoxy package and mix it thoroughly.Do not mix it too fast, as it will cause bubbles to form in the epoxy.(NOTE! Use only the epoxies specified on the inside front cover of thismanual! Failure to use one of these epoxies may result in poor sonarperformance!) Apply a small amount on the face of the transducer asshown above, then spread a small amount onto the sanded area on the

The face of thetransducer should be parallel with the hull, with a minimum amount ofepoxy between the hull and transducer. After the epoxy dries, route thecable to the sonar unit.

Fish ArchesIf you do not get good fish arches on your display, it could be thetransducer is not parallel with the ground when the boat is at rest in thewater, or at slow trolling speeds. If the arch slopes up, but not backdown, then the front of the transducer is too high and needs to belowered. If only the back half the the arch is printed, then the nose of thetransducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised.

POWER CONNECTIONS - Permanent mount units onlyThis unit works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run thepower cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away fromother boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the bestisolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough toreach the battery, splice #18 gauge insulated wire to it. You can attach thepower cable to an accessory or power buss, however, you may haveproblems with electrical interference. Make certain to attach the in-line fuseholder to the positive lead as close to the battery or terminal strip aspossible. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event ofa short. Use a 3-amp fuse.

WARNING!Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable!Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty!

This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the powerwires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires areattached correctly.

Bracket Installation - Permanent mount units onlyYou can install the sonar unit on the top of a dash or from an overhead withthe supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optionalIDA-3 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interestedin the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. This converts the unit's gimbalbracket to a swivel mount which can be used on the dash or overheadmounting positions. Installation instructions for the in-dash and swivelmounting kits are supplied with the adapter kits.

Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearancewhen it’s tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket’s base allowwood screw or through bolt mounting. It may be necessary to place a pieceof plywood on the back side of thin panels to reinforce the panel. Makecertain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power andtransducer cables.

Drill a hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The bestlocation for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket. This way, thebracket covers the hole. The smallest hole the power and transducer cableconnectors can pass through is 5/8". After drilling the hole, pass the power/transducer connector up through the hole from under the dash. Slide thebracket over the hole, then route the cables out the slot in the back of thebracket. Finally, fasten the bracket to the dash.

Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs andwashers as shown above.

In cold weather the efficiency of dry cell batteries drops with the tempera-ture. We find it a good idea to have the sonar unit good and warm along withthe batteries before we leave home. If the batteries do lose a charge, youcan sometimes restore them by placing them in a warm room or car interior.A better way is to replace them with batteries that have been kept warm.Don't ever heat the batteries over an open flame or direct hot air onto them.A fire or explosion could result.

Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Locatethe transducer on the hull as shown below. Don't allow the bracket to gobelow the hull, as water pressure against it can cause the suction cup tocome off at speed. Moisten the cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly aspossible. Tie the nylon cord to the boat and route the transducer cable tothe sonar unit. Plug the transducer connector into the unit and yourportable sonar is now ready for use.

SPEED/TEMPERATURE SENSORSThe Strata Plus and StrataView can use up to three temperature sensorswhich can monitor surface water, live well, air, and virtually any othertemperature. You do need to be careful when purchasing the temperaturesensors, however. Each temperature sensor has its own "address". Thesensors are labeled "Water", "T-2" (or Temp-2), and "T-3" (or Temp-3). Ifyou want two (or more) temperature readings, you'll need to use the propersensors. For example, you can't use two T-3 sensors. The sensors that willfit these units are:

TS-1BK One sensor for "Water" temperature display.

TS-2BK One sensor for "T-2" temperature display.

TS-3BK One sensor for "T-3" temperature display.

TS-12BK Two sensors for "Water" and "T-2" temperature displays.

ST-TBK One speed sensor and one temperature sensor for"Speed" and "Water" displays. (comes with Strata Plus)

You can combine these sensors in many combinations. See the list on thefollowing page for temperature and speed sensor combinations.

KEYBOARD BASICSThe unit sounds a tone when you pressany key. This tells you the unit has ac-cepted a command.

PWR/CLEARUse this key to turn the unit on. It alsoclears menu selections and the menusfrom the screen. This key also turns theunit off. NOTE: You must hold the OFF keydown for a few seconds in order to turn theunit OFF.

MENU FWD / MENU REVThese sonar units have many features that are accessed with the menukeys. The MENU FWD key moves forward through the menus, the MENUREV key moves backward. To see the first menu, simply press eitherMENU key. To see the other menus, press a MENU key repeatedly.

UP and DOWN ARROWSUse these keys to adjust virtually every feature and function on the unit.NOTE: The up arrow key also stops the chart when no menus aredisplayed. In other words, anytime you wish to stop the chart, first makecertain no menu is on the screen. Now press the up arrow key. The chartfreezes and the word “STOP” appears at the top of the screen. To start thechart, press the up arrow key again or the PWR/CLEAR key.

DISPLAY - GeneralThe lights flash for about ten seconds when the unit is turned on. Twomenus appear, one after the other. The menus are the lights (BACKLIGHT) and a feet-meter selection (FEET/METER). To turn the lights on,press the up arrow key. To switch from feet to meters, press the downarrow key when the proper menu appears. The menus disappear after afew seconds. If you don’t want to wait, press thePWR key to clear the menus from the screen.

When the sonar unit is first turned on, the displayappears similar to the one at right. The unit is inthe automatic mode and the Fish ID feature ison. The depth range shows on the left side of thescreen. On the screen at right, the range is from0 to 60 feet and the bottom depth is 48.6 feet.

All you have to do to leave onemenu and enter another is press the menu keyrepeatedly. If you ever get lost in the menus,simply press the PWR key. This clears themenus from the screen.

Menus change depending on the mode the unitis in. For example, if the automatic mode isturned off, the sensitivity menu changes from “AUTO SENS” to “MANSENS.” Other messages may appear in menu boxes or new menus canappear, again depending on previous selections.

AUTOMATICWhen the unit is first turned on, the automaticfeature is enabled. This feature automaticallyadjusts the unit’s range and sensitivity ac-cording to water conditions. It always keepsthe bottom displayed in the lower portion ofthe screen.

To turn the automatic feature off, press themenu key until the AUTO/MAN menu ap-pears. Now press the down arrow key. Thishighlights the letters “MAN.” The unit is nowin the manual mode. Wait a few seconds andthe menu will scroll off the screen’s left side.Pressing the PWR key also clears it. To turn the automatic feature onagain, repeat the above steps, except this time press the up arrow key.

RANGEYou can’t adjust the range when the unit is in the automatic mode. It isadjustable when the unit is in the manual mode, however. To do so, firstput the unit in the manual mode. Now press the PWR key to clear thescreen. Then press the menu key until the “RANGE SEL” menu appearsas shown at the top of the next page. The current range shows at thebottom of the menu. In this case, the range is 60 feet. Now press the uparrow key to decrease the range, the down arrow key increases the range.

22

After you select the desired range, press thePWR key to clear the display. If you wait a fewseconds, it will automatically clear.

This unit has the following ranges:

10, 20, 40, 60, 120, 240, 480, and 900 feet.

and

5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 100, 200, and 300 meters.

ZOOMThe zoom feature enlarges all echoes on thescreen. If the unit is in the automatic mode, ittracks the bottom signal, always keeping itnear the bottom of the screen. This lets yousee small detail, at the same time enlarging allechoes that appear on the screen. The unitdoesn’t track the bottom in the manual mode,and the adjustments are slightly different.

Zoom - Automatic OperationTo zoom the display, first press the MENUkey until the RANGE/ZOOM menu appearsas shown at right. Now press the down arrowkey. This switches the unit into the zoommode. A new menu immediately appears asshown below.

This is the zoom size menu. Zoom size is thedistance between the upper limit and thelower limit. The upper limit shows at the topleft corner of the screen. The lower limit is inthe bottom left corner. For example, if theupper limit is 40 feet and the lower limit is 70feet, the zoom window size is 30 feet. Theword “TRACK” appears in this menu whenyou first activate the zoom as shown at right.

23

This means the unit is tracking the bottom ina zoom window, always keeping it on thedisplay.

Press the up arrow key to decrease the zoomsize, press the down arrow key to increasethe zoom size.

When the unit is switched into the zoommode, the letters “ZM” appear at the top of thescreen. The zoom window size displays in thetop right corner of the screen.

On the screen shown above, the zoom size has been changed to 20 feet.

To turn the zoom feature off, press the menu key until the RANGE/ZOOMmenu appears. Now press the up arrow key. This switches the unit intothe range mode, which turns the zoom feature off.

This unit has the following zoom ranges:

10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 240, and 480 feetand

5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 150 meters.

Zoom - Manual OperationTo operate the zoom feature when the unit is in the manual mode, firstpress the menu key. Then press the down arrow key in the RANGE/ZOOMmenu to place the unit in the zoom mode. The zoom size menuautomatically appears next. You can change the zoom size by pressingthe up or down arrows. After you select the desired zoom size, press themenu key until the “MOVE ZOOM” menu appears. This menu lets youmove the zoom window up or down in one footincrements by pressing the arrow keys. Thus,you can move the zoom window up towardsthe surface, down to the bottom, or anywherein between. The window stays where you putit. It doesn’t track the bottom signal.

To turn the zoom feature off, press the menukey until the RANGE/ZOOM menu appears.Now press the up arrow key. This switchesthe unit into the range mode, which turns thezoom feature off.

24

SENSITIVITYThe sensitivity menu lets you control the unit’s ability to pick up echoes. Alow sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals,and other detail. High sensitivity settings lets you see features, but it canalso clutter the screen with noise and other unwanted signals. Typically,the best sensitivity level shows a good, solid bottom signal with grayline.

This sonar unit adjusts the sensitivity level to keep a solid bottom signal onthe screen. It adds a little extra when it’s in the automatic mode. This givesit the capability to show fish and other detail. However, situations occurwhere it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the sensitivity level.Typically, this occurs when you wish to see more detail, so you need toincrease the sensitivity. The procedure to adjust it is the same whether theunit is in the automatic or manual mode.

To change the sensitivity level, first press themenu key until the sensitivity menu appears.If the unit is in automatic, the menu shows“AUTO SENS.” Otherwise, the menu shows“MAN SENS.” Now press the up arrow key toincrease the sensitivity, the down arrow todecrease it. The percentage of sensitivity inuse shows in this menu. Echoes scrollingonto the screen will also show the effects ofthe sensitivity change. If you reach the maxi-mum or minimum sensitivity level, a tonesounds alerting you to the limits.

After you’ve adjusted the unit to the desired sensitivity level, press thePWR key to clear the display. If you wait a few seconds, it will automaticallyclear.

GRAYLINE ®

Grayline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It “paints”gray on targets that are stronger than a preset level. This shows thedifference between a hard or soft bottom, large fish versus smaller ones,or rocks and brush on the bottom. For example, a soft, muddy, or weedybottom returns a weaker signal which shows a narrow or no gray line. Ahard bottom returns a strong signal that causes a wide gray line.

If you have two targets of equal size, one with gray and the other without,the target with gray is the stronger echo. This helps distinguish fish fromstructure, or the larger fish from a smaller one.

25

Grayline ® is adjustable. Since it shows thedifference between strong and weak echoes,changing the level may require a differentsensitivity setting.

To change the Grayline level, first press theMENU key until the Grayline menu appears.Now press the up arrow key to increase thelevel, the down arrow to decrease it. Thepercentage of Grayline now in use shows inthis menu. Echoes scrolling onto the screenwill also show the effects of the Graylinechange. If you reach the maximum or minimum level, a tone soundsalerting you to the limits.

The level chosen by the unit when it’s first turned on is usually adequatefor most conditions. Experiment with your unit to find the Grayline settingthat’s best.

FISH ID FEATUREThe Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish.The microcomputer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter,thermoclines, and other undesirable signals. In most instances, remainingtargets are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols on the screen inplace of the actual fish echoes. There are three symbol sizes: small,medium, and large. These show the relative size between targets. In otherwords, it displays a small fish symbol when it thinks a target is a small fish,a medium fish symbol on a larger target, etc.

The microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can't distin-guish between fish and other suspended objects such as turtles, sub-merged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending outwardsfrom a group of limbs are the hardest objectsfor the Fish ID feature to distinguish from fish.You may see Fish ID symbols on the screenwhen, in fact, there are no fish. Practice withthe unit when the Fish ID feature is on and offto become more familiar with Fish ID. Whenthe unit is first turned on, the Fish ID featureis automatically turned on, also. To turn it off,press the menu key until the Fish ID feature’smenu appears as shown at right, then pressthe down arrow key. To turn it back on, repeatthe above steps, but press the up arrow keyinstead.

The Fish ID feature can’t be used when the unit is in the manual mode. Ifyou turn the automatic feature off, the Fish ID feature will automatically beturned off, also.

FISH TRACK™This unit automatically displays the depth of a target when the Fish IDfeature places a fish symbol on the screen as shown below. This featureis automatically enabled when the sonar unit is turned on. To turn it off oron again, press the MENU key repeatedly until the Fish Track menuappears as shown below. Now press the down arrow key to turn it off.Remember, Fish ID must be on in order to use the Fish Track feature.

TARGETTRACK™(StrataView Only)The StrataView has the unique capability to "see" targets not only straightdown, but also to the right and left, thanks to the BroadView™ transducer.This transducer has three elements: left, right, and down. The StrataViewuses all three elements to display targets between the surface and thebottom. Targets are shown as Fish ID sym-bols. This feature also shows the depth of thetarget directly above the fish symbol. In thescreen shown at right, there is one symbolfrom the right element at 22 feet, one from theleft element at 29 feet, and one from the centerelement at 16 feet. The TargetTrack featureidentifies fish symbols coming from the rightelement with a "R" in front of the symbol'sdepth. A "L" identifies symbols from the leftelement. No letter identifies fish symbols fromthe center element. The bottom signal and the

ALARMS

FISH ALARMThe Fish Alarm sounds a tone when a fishsymbol appears on the screen. To use thefish alarm, press the menu key until the “FISHALARM” menu appears on the screen. Nowpress the up arrow key to turn the alarm on.Repeat the above steps to turn the fish alarmoff.

DEPTH ALARMSThe depth alarms are triggered only by the bottom signal. No other echoeswill activate these alarms. The depth alarms consist of a shallow and deepalarm. The shallow alarm sounds an alarm tone when the bottom goesshallower than the alarm’s setting. The deep alarm sounds a tone whenthe bottom goes deeper than it’s setting. Both alarms adjust the same,although through different menus.

Shallow AlarmTo set the shallow alarm, press the menu keyrepeatedly until the “SHAL ALARM” menuappears. Press the down arrow key to in-crease the shallow alarm's depth setting, theup arrow key decreases it. The number in theshallow alarm’s menu box shows the currentshallow alarm setting. When the numberreaches the desired setting, release the ar-row key. When the bottom depth goes shal-lower than the alarm’s setting an alarm tonesounds. At the same time the alarm sounds,a message box appears on the screen asshown at right.

Press the up arrow key to silence the alarm.This will turn the alarm sound off until theshallow alarm is triggered again.

To turn the alarm off, press the menu key untilthe shallow alarm menu appears. Then pressthe up arrow key until the word “OFF” ap-pears.

33

Deep AlarmThe deep alarm adjusts the same as the shallow alarm. Use the “DEEPALARM” menu to adjust the deep alarm.When the bottom signal goes deeper than thesetting, an alarm tone sounds.

LIGHTSThe display is backlighted for night use. Toturn the backlights on or off, press the menukey repeatedly until the BACK LIGHT menuappears. Now press the up arrow to turn thelights on or the down arrow to turn them off.

FEET/METERThis unit can show the depth in feet or meters.When it is in the metric mode, all depthreadings, ranges, zooms, and alarm settingsare in meters. When it's in the feet mode, allof the above settings are in feet.

To change from feet to meters or vice-versa,press the menu key until the FEET/METERmenu appears. Press the down arrow key toswitch to metric, the up arrow to switch to feet.Displays show in feet when the unit is firstturned on. The menu will clear automaticallyafter a few seconds or you can press thePWR key to clear the screen.

shows a graph of the contrast. The screen will also show the effects of thechange. If you reach the maximum or minimum level, a tone soundsalerting you to the limits. The menu will clear automatically after a fewseconds or you can press the PWR key to clear the screen.

ASP (Advanced Signal Processing)ASP is a program embedded in the computerthat is specifically designed to eliminate noise.It continually monitors the signals from thereceiver, determines which echoes are noiseand rejects them. This allows true targetechoes to display on the screen with a mini-mum of clutter. This feature is especiallyuseful since it typically lets you operate theboat at all speeds without adjusting the sensi-tivity or other controls. When the unit is firstturned on, ASP is enabled. To turn ASP off,press the menu key repeatedly until the ASPmenu appears. Now press the up arrow to turn it on or the down arrow toturn it off. The menu will clear automatically after a few seconds or you canpress the PWR key to clear the screen.

TROUBLESHOOTING - IMPORTANT INFORMATION!If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use thefollowing troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customerservice department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit.

Unit freezes, locks up, or operates erratically:1. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor, trolling motor, or an accessory

may be interfering with the sonar unit. Rerouting the power andtransducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat mayhelp. Route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery insteadof through a fuse block or ignition switch

2. Inspect the transducer cable for breaks, cuts, or pinched wires.

3. Check the transducer and power connector. Make certain it's securelyplugged in to the unit.

Weak bottom echo, digital readings erratic, or no fish signals:1. Make certain transducer is pointing straight down. Clean the face of the

transducer. Oil, dirt, and fuel can cause a film to form on the transducer,reducing its effectiveness. If the transducer is mounted inside the hull,be sure it is shooting through only one layer of fiberglass and that it issecurely bonded to the hull. Do NOT use RTV silicone rubber adhesiveor MarinetexTM.

2. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor can interfere with the sonar. Thiscauses the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or noiserejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signalssuch as fish or even structure from the display.

3. The water may be deeper than the sonar’s ability to find the bottom. Ifthe sonar can’t find the bottom signal while it’s in the automatic mode,

Unit won’t turn on:1. Check the power cable’s connection at the unit. Also check the wiring.

2. Make certain the power cable is wired properly. The red wire connectsto the positive battery terminal, black to negative or ground.

3. Check the fuse.

4. Measure the battery voltage at the unit’s power connector. It should beat least 11 volts. If it isn’t, the wiring to the unit is defective, the batteryterminals or wiring on the terminals are corroded, or the battery needscharging.

36

the digital will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits fargreater than the water you are in. If this happens, place the unit in themanual mode, then change the range to a realistic one, (for example, 0-100 feet) and increase the sensitivity. As you move into shallower water,a bottom signal should appear.

4. Check the battery voltage. If the voltage drops, the unit’s transmitterpower also drops, reducing its ability to find the bottom or targets.

Bottom echo disappears at high speeds or erratic digital reading orweak bottom echo while boat is moving1. The transducer may be in turbulent water. It must be mounted in a

smooth flow of water in order for the sonar to work at all boat speeds. Airbubbles in the water disrupt the sonar signals, interfering with its abilityto find the bottom or other targets. The technical term for this is‘Cavitation’.

2. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor can interfere with the sonar. Thiscauses the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or noiserejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signalssuch as fish or even structure from the display. Try using resistor sparkplugs or routing the sonar unit’s power and transducer cables away fromother electrical wiring on the boat.

No fish arches when the Fish ID feature is off:1. Make certain transducer is pointing straight down. This is the most

common problem if a partial arch is displayed. See the Fish Arch sectionin your owner's manual for more information.

2. The sensitivity may not be high enough. In order for the unit to displaya fish arch, it has to be able to receive the fish’s echo from the time itenters the cone until it leaves. If the sensitivity is not high enough, theunit displays the fish only when it is in the center of the cone.

3. Use the Zoom feature. It is much easier to display fish arches whenzoomed in on a small range of water than a large one. For example, youwill have much better luck seeing fish arches with a 30 to 60 foot rangethan a 0 to 60 foot range. This enlarges the targets, allowing the displayto show much more detail.

4. The boat must be moving at a slow trolling speed to see fish arches. Ifthe boat is motionless, fish stay in the cone, showing on the display asstraight horizontal lines.

37

ELECTRICAL NOISEA major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise. This usually appearson the sonar’s display as random patterns of dots or lines. In severe cases,it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unitoperate erratically, or not at all.

To eliminate or minimize the effects of electrical noise, first try to determinethe cause. With the boat at rest in the water, the first thing you should dois turn all electrical equipment on the boat off. Make certain the engine isoff, also. Turn your unit on, then turn off ASP (Advanced Signal Process-ing). There should be a steady bottom signal on the display. Now turn oneach piece of electrical equipment on the boat and view the effect on thesonar’s display.

For example, turn on the bilge pump and view the sonar display for noise.If no noise is present, turn the pump off, then turn on the VHF radio andtransmit. Keep doing this until all electrical equipment has been turned on,their effect on the sonar display noted, then turned off.

If you find noise interference from an electrical instrument, trolling motor,pump, or radio, try to isolate the problem. You can usually reroute the sonarunit’s power cable and transducer cable away from the wiring that iscausing the interference. VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise whentransmitting, so be certain to keep the sonar’s wires away from it. You mayneed to route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery to isolateit from other wiring on the boat.

If no noise displays on the sonar unit from electrical equipment, then makecertain everything except the sonar unit is turned off, then start the engine.Increase the RPM with the gearshift in neutral. If noise appears on thedisplay, the problem could be one of three things; spark plugs, alternator,or tachometer wiring. Try using resistor spark plugs, alternator filters, orrouting the sonar unit’s power cable away from engine wiring. Again,routing the power cable directly to the battery helps eliminate noiseproblems. Make certain to use the in-line fuse supplied with the unitwhen wiring the power cable to the battery!

When no noise appears on the sonar unit after all of the above tests, thenthe noise source is probably cavitation. Many novices or persons withlimited experience make hasty sonar installations which function perfectlyin shallow water, or when the boat is at rest. In nearly all cases, the causeof the malfunction will be the location and/or angle of the transducer. Theface of the transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flowof water at all boat speeds.
