INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION • If the propeller(s) is (are) forward of the transom, it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. Step Two - Drill the Mounting Holes 1. Remove the mounting template from the front of the Operations Manual. 2. Hold the te[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Four - Mount the Transducer to the Transom 1. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom. 2. Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom (Figure 8). 3. U se either a flat head screwdriver, a 5/16" (8mm) hex driver, or a 5/16" (8mm) socket to mount th[...]

mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and adjustments have been completed.[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable There are several ways to route the transducer c able to the to the area where the control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat. Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring that the cable can be [...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION Inside the hull installation requires the mount system and control head be installed and operational. See Installing the Control Head for instruction on installing the unit. Inside the hull mountin g generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats. [...]

The transducer cannot transmit through air. The water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.[...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION 3. Power up the Control Head. 4. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the Control Head. If the unit functions well at low speeds but b egins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer needs to be moved. If depth performance is required, test the fish[...]

The display is also backlit for nighttime operation, and uses special comp onents so [...]

A valuable accessory available for use with all Wide 3D products is Wide Sid e. Your unit has the capability of displaying information from a special “side - locking” transducer as shown in Figure E. See the “Advanced Feature” section for more information. Using the View button to toggle between the three main views gives you the m aximum b[...]

The digital depth shown on - screen is the depth of the water directly beneath your boat. As new information is received, the most recent information is displayed at the lower right, directly underneat h the boat symbol. Previous information advances to the left. Boat speed and water surface temperature are displayed at the upper right. If you have[...]

USING THE 2D VIEW When operating in 2D view, the Wide 3D Vista operates as most normal depth sounders with several exceptions. The six beam 53 degree transducer allows you to search for fish with a much wider area of coverage than ordi nary depth sounders. The hollow and solid fish symbols give you directional information, and you can quickly switc[...]

The signal does not stop there - it is reflected downward again by the surface of the water, and a weak “second return” is usually visible if the depth range is sufficient to see it. The second return may be used as an indi cator for setting the sensitivity bias. USING THE COMBO VIEW The Combo view combines a 3D view with a 2D view on the same [...]

MENU brings a menu on - screen for adjustment, or if a menu is already present, the next m enu in sequence will appear.
