The power leads should normally power distribution panel (on larger boats) or directly main circuit breaker (on smaller boats).

Page 15: Installation-Transducer-General
Installation-Transducer-General, Transducer The MC 800 is designed to work with either a transom mount type 200 KHZ transducer, or a thru-hull mount 200 KHz transducer. The transducer element is that portion of the system that converts the electrical pulse from the sounder into a sound wave which is transmitted downward to the bottom and returned as an echo. - Page 16 Installation- Transom Installation of the transom mounted type of transducer is illustrated below. Ideally, the transducer should be mounted so that the face of the transducer is perpendicular with the sea bottom. On boats with one propeller, the transducer should be mounted at least 15 inches (400mm) either side of the centerline to minimize the effects of turbulence.

This is the best mounting performance from your system, however, there are also disadvantages to this type of mount, such as: Damage can be caused to the transducer and/or hull when load- ing or unloading your boat from a trailer. -
Page 19: Installation - Wet Box Mount
On planing hulls, make sure that the transducer is mounted over an area that is always submerged. A transom mount transducer may also be used. If you use this type of mounting with your MC 800, you will have to add an external temperature sensor to obtain water temperatures. TRANSDUCER... - Page 20 Installation-Direct In this mounting method, the transducer is mounted directly to the hull. At the location you have selected for mounting, apply epoxy or air-free silicone rubber cement to the hull and to the face of the transducer. Roll the transducer into place, making sure that there are no air bubbles.

Page 22: Operation
Operation Basic Operation Basic operation of MC800 is easy to learn. Use the following exam- ples to guide you. the Power on Turning The unit is initiated at the 0 - 120 feet depth range with the 5th gain level and 6th sweep speed under the manual operation. Setting the AUTO mode To set this operating mode, simply press the AUTO key. - Page 23 Operation-Conti Setting the Gain To set the Gain: Press the Gain key. Then, use the A and/or V buttons to set the gain to the desired level. The gain should normally be set to the highest possible level without objectionable interference on the display. The setting of the gain control is shown on the bar graph on the top of the display.
- Page 24 0 perati on -Conti n ued Setting the Deep Alarm To set the Deep Alarm: Press the Aim D key. Then, use the /\ and/or V buttons to set the alarm to the desired depth. The setting of the deep alarm is displayed on the bar graph on the right side of the display.
- Page 25 Operation -Continued. Using the Simulator Mode The simulator mode can be used to help you become familiar with the controls and operation of your MC800. To start the simulator mode: VVhenturning the unit on, press and hold the Power key for approxi- mately 2 seconds.

Page 26: 'Anchor Watch
'Anchor Watch The shallow and deep alarms of the MC 800 make it the ideal com- panion for an anchor watch. Simply set the alarms to the required depths, make sure that the audio alarm is turned on, and your MC 800 will sound the alert if your anchor drags. -
Page 27: Contour Navigation
The MC 800's shallow and deep alarms are also useful for contour navigation. By setting the alarms for the maximum and minimum depths you wish to remain between, the MC 800 will alert you if you stray from this. This feature is particularly useful for fishing near continental shelves and other drop oHs, since your MC 800 will alert when you drift away from the best fishing waters. -
