1 Introduction Thank you for buying an Eagle  sonar! Your unit is a high-quality so- nar designed for both professional and novice fishermen. All Eagle so- nars have an automatic mode that finds and displays the bottom, fish, underwater structure and more – righ t out of the box. All you have to do is press the on ( PWR ) key. However, if you [...]

2 Sonar Frequency : ...................... 200 kHz. Transducer : .................... BV-WSX BroadView  transducer offers fish detection area up to 150º with high sensitiv- ity settings. Operates at speeds up to 70 mph (61 kts.) Transmitter : ................... 1500 watts pe ak-to-peak power (typical); 188 watts RMS power (typical). Sonar soun[...]

3 Your BroadView transducer comes packaged with a trolling motor mount that uses a plastic bracket with an ad justable strap. It also comes with a bracket for mounting it to the tran som of your boat. These are both "kick-up" mounting brackets. They help prevent damage if the trans- ducer strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the[...]

4 4. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps and aerators can be displayed on the sonar's s creen. Use caution when routing the transducer cable around these wires. Good and poor transducer locations. How low should you go? For most situations, you should in s[...]

5 If you cruise or fish around lots of structure and cover, your transducer may be frequently kicking up from ob ject strikes. If you wish, you may move the transducer a little higher for more protection. There are two extremes you should avoid. Never let the edge of the mounting bracket extend below the bottom of the hull. Never let the bottom –[...]

6 Insert bolt and check transducer position on transom. 3. Assembling the transducer. Once you determine the correct posi- tion for the ratchets, assemble th e transducer as shown in the fol- lowing figure. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time. Assemble transducer and bracket. 4. Drilling mounting holes. Hold the transducer and bracket asse[...]

7 Position transducer mount on transom and mark mounting holes. Side view shown at left and seen from above at right. 5. Attaching transducer to transom. Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown in the following figures. Route cable over bolt and through bracket. Sid[...]

8 over tighten the lock nut! If you do, the transducer won't "kick-up" if it strikes an object in the water. Align transducer centerline with hull bottom and attach to transom. 6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable at the tra nsduc er. If possible, rout[...]

9 Attach motor mounting bracket to transducer. 2. Slide the adjustable strap supplie d with the TMB-S through the slot in the transducer bracket and wrap it around the trolling motor. Po- sition the transducer to aim straig ht down when the motor is in the water. Tighten the strap securely. 3. Route the transducer cable alon gside the trolling moto[...]

10 Transducer angles and their effects on fish arches. If the arch slopes up – but not back down – then the front of the trans- ducer is too high and needs to be lo wered. If only the back half of the arch is printed, then the nose of the transducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised. NOTE: Periodically wash the transducer's fac[...]

Stern view showing good location for mounting sensor on transom. Speed sensor mounting configuration: side view (left) and rear view (right.) Route the sensor's cable through or [...]

14 Power connections for TriFinder 2. If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, espe- cially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from elec- trical noise. If the cable is not lo ng enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive lead, black is neg[...]

Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs and washers. Slide the rubber wa shers onto the gimbal knobs then loosely screw the knobs into their sockets. Slide the unit into t[...]

18 NOTE: Though the PPP-10 will give you the liberty of a portable sonar unit, the portable transducer that comes with it is not a Broad- View  transducer. While using the portable transducer you will not get the extra sonar informatio n necessary to use TargetTrack. Operation KEYBOARD BASICS The unit sounds a tone when you press any key. This t[...]

19 2. MENU UP (menu up) 3. MENU DOWN (menu down) These keys appears in the manual text as MENU UP or MENU DOWN . (In some units, the keys may appear as MENU FWD or MENU REV , respec- tively.)

The Zoom Pan feature lets you rapidly move the zoomed area up and down to different depths. By "pointing" y[...]

26 These figures show results of different sensitivity levels on the same location. Fig. 1: Sensitivity at 87 percent, determined by Auto Sensitiv- ity. Typical of full auto mode. Fig. 2: Sensitivity set at 50 percent. Fig. 3: Sensitivity set at 20 percent. Fig. 4: Sensitivity set at 100 percent. You can change the sensitivity level whether you are[...]

27 100 percent, but the unit will limit your minimum setting. This prevents you from turning sensitivity down too low to allow automatic bottom tracking. When you change the setting with auto turned on, the unit will continue to track the bottom and ma ke minor adjustments to the sensi- tivity level, with a bias toward the setting you selected. Adj[...]

28 NOTE: If you want to change the sensitiv ity in Manual Mode, first turn off Auto Sensitivity: press MENU until the S ENSITIVITY A UTOMATIC /M ANUAL menu appears.

30 You may see Fish I.D. symbols on th e screen when actually, there are no fish. The reverse is also true — Fish I.D. can actually miss fish that are present. Does that mean Fish I.D. is broken ? No — the feature is simply inter- preting sonar returns in a specific wa y to help take some of the work out of reading the screen. Remember: Fi sh I[...]

31 TARGETTRACK  The TriFinder 2 has the unique ability to "see" targets not only straight down, but also to the right and left , thanks to the BroadView™ trans- ducer. The TargetTrack  feature shows you if the target is to the left, right or straight down. The BroadView transducer has thr ee elements: left, right and down. The Tri[...]

32 Target Track option in Fish ID menu. FISHREVEAL  When displaying actual sonar returns, the FishReveal  feature helps show fish targets hidden by surface clutter, thermoclines, weed beds and other cover with 10 levels of gray tones. Normal operation (with FishReveal turned off) shows the weakest ech- oes as black and the strongest in light [...]

33 In Inverted FishReveal mode, the weakest echoes are black and the strongest echoes are white. Again, echoes in between vary in gray in proportion to their signal strength . In all modes, the Grayline control determines the range for black to white. At left, standard FishReveal mode. Right, Inverted Fish Reveal mode. To turn FishReveal on, press [...]

The water may be deeper than the sonar's ability to find the bottom. If the sonar can't find the bottom si gnal while it's in the automatic mode, the digital sonar display will flash continuously. It may[...]

48 NOISE A major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise. This usually ap- pears on the sonar's display as random patterns of dots or lines. In se- vere cases, it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unit operate erratically, or not at all. To eliminate or minimize the effects of electrical noise, first try to de- [...]
