9 Display Installation Mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is high-contrast and anti- reective, and is viewable [...]

10 Bezel Removal 1: T o removing the bezel from the 5 and 7-inch models the card slot door must be open 2: T o remove the bezel use a at head screwdriver . 3: Insert screwdriver into the bezel release slots and pry out and away from the unit. The bottom of the bezel will release from the unit. Push up to release the top bezel catches. For 8 and [...]

11 Panel Mount 1: Attach the ush mounting template to the selected mounting position using adhesive tape. 2: Drill pilot holes for the four hole saw cuts and for the four self tapping screws used to secure the display . 3: Use a hole saw to cut the four corner radius 4: Cut along the dotted line and remove the shaded area. 5: Connect all cables [...]

12 Bracket Mount An alternative to ush mounting the HDS display is to bracket mount the unit. This method has the advantage that the display can be easily removed when not in use and may be tilted to achieve the best possible viewing angle. 1: Loosely screw securing knobs to the Display unit. 2: T emporarily mount the display unit in the bracket[...]

14 T ransducer Installation Recommended T ools and Supplies T ools and Supplies (not included) If you plan to route the transducer cable through the transom, you will need either a 1” drill bit or a 5/8” drill bit depending on the size of the transducer cable connector . Each transom mount requires a high quality , marine grade above- or below-[...]

15 Skimmer Installation Instructions T ransducer location and installation is one of the most critical steps in sonar installation. Select a transducer location T o function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the water at all times and in a location that has a smooth ow of water when the boat is moving. Good location Poor location Poor l[...]

16 Aligning Ratchets on T ransducer bracket Aligning ratchets on one-piece bracket: The one-piece bracket assembly includes two black plastic ratchets. The ratchets are used to align the transducer with the boat hull. Each ratchet has the letters A-E molded into it. 3: Hold the transducer assembly against the transom. Look at the transducer from th[...]

19 Aligning and Attaching the T ransducer Adjust the transducer so that its "face" is parallel with the ground and its center line is even with the bottom of the boat hull. Note: When mounting the transducer to the transom, there are two extremes you should avoid, rst, do not let the edge of the mounting bracket extend below the bottom[...]

20 1: Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. When the transducer and bracket are properly aligned mark its position on the hull. 2: Drill the mounting holes for the transducer bracket. For the one- piece bracket use a #29 bit (for the #10 screws). For the two-piece bracket use a #20 bit (for the #12 screws). Clamp the transdu[...]

21 If you drill a hole in the transom for the transducer cable, make sure it is located above the waterline. Seal the hole with an above or below waterline marine grade sealant. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable near the transducer . Use caution when routing the transducer cable near other wiri[...]

23 Skimmer T ransducer Shoot-thru-hull Installation Before attempting any installation on boats with otation material sandwiched within the hull, consult the boat manufacturer . In a shoot-thru-hull installation the transducer is epoxied to the inside of the boat hull. W ARNING: Do not remove any material from the inner hull. Careless grinding o[...]

24 A transducer can not shoot through wood or metal hulls. W ood and metal hulls require either a transom mount or "thru-hull" installation. For shoot-thru-hull applications many boat hulls have a at keel pad that offers a good transducer mounting surface. If you are using a Skimmer transducer versus a Pod transducer for this installat[...]

25 T ransducer epoxied to hull. T ransducer Epoxy Hull Pod T ransducer Installation Instructions The following instructions explain how to install a Pod transducer inside a hull or on a trolling motor . Read the following instructions carefully before attempting any installation. Use extreme care when mounting a transducer inside a boat hull. Once [...]

26 Sand both the inside surface of the hull, where the transducer is to be epoxied, and the face of the transducer . Y ou may want to start with a rougher grit sandpaper , such as 60 grit, and nish with a smoother grit, such as 160 grit, sandpaper . Sand the inside surface of the hull until it is smooth to the touch. The sanded area should be ab[...]

28 System Architecture This section explains how the HDS connects to other devices as part of a system. The HDS has a highly scalable system architecture. A system can consist of a basic stand alone shnder or chart plotter , or expand to a networked, multi-display system connected to a wide range of accessories. Networking, Data Interfacing T[...]

29 Wiring the HDS Wiring Guidelines Most installation problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables. When wiring the HDS follow the guidelines below . Don’t do this Do this Don’t make sharp bends in the cables Do make drip and service loops Don’t run cables in a way that allows water to ow down into the connectors Do tie-wrap a[...]
