  • Page 3 Echo Sounding Your eyes underwater An “echo sounder” or “sonar” unit sends high-frequency sound waves down into the water below a boat. These sounds hit the bottom of the lake or sea and bounce back. The display unit measures the time delay as the signal goes out and returns. The FishFinder uses this information to display a graphic image of the bottom conditions.

    2 – Installation The installation process has four parts: • Mounting the transducer • Mounting the display unit • Connecting the cables for the transducer and power supply • Calibrating the display unit About the Transducer Several different kinds of transducers can be used with this unit. The transom-mount type is used most often.

  • Page 16: Selecting The Correct Type Of Transducer

    Transom-mount Thru-hull transducer transducer In-hull Sidelooker transducer transducer Selecting the Correct Type of Transducer Before you begin the installation, double-check to be sure you have the correct type of transducer. Each kind of transducer is designed for a particular type of use. In this manual we will include detailed mounting instructions for the transom-mount transducer.

  • Page 17: Assembling The Transducer Bracket

    Use a trolling motor transducer if – you want to attach the transducer to a trolling motor. Use a Sidelooker transducer if – you need a way of searching for fish on either side of the boat. This type of transducer is attached to the bracket of the transom-mount transducer. Assembling the Transducer Bracket Fit together the two parts of the transducer bracket as shown in Fig.

  • Page 18: Transducer Mounted On Transom

    Allow a clearance of at least 10 inches (254 mm) 10" (254 mm) propeller from damaging the transducer when it is turned. • Do not mount the transducer behind any hull fittings, intakes, or other parts which extend from the hull. These may cause turbulence or air bubbles.

  • Page 19: Correct Mounting Position

    Average transom angle– no wedge necessary 2 to 5 For fiberglass hull – 1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 to 6 mm) For aluminum hull – 1/4" to 3/8" (6 to 9 mm) The bow of the transducer is above the bottom of the transom, creating cavitation.

  • Page 20: Mounting The Transom-Mount Transducer

    • If the boat will be carried on a trailer, be sure the transducer will not hit any rollers, bunks or fittings on the trailer. Mounting the Transom-Mount Transducer On a boat with a fiberglass hull, the leading edge of the transducer should extend 1/8"...

  • Page 21: Mounting The Optional Sidelooker Transducer

    Mounting the Optional Sidelooker Transducer The Sidelooker transducer allows the display unit to check the water to either side of the boat. This is helpful when you are looking for fish near river banks, or under docks or piers. The Sidelooker transducer is attached to the same mounting bracket used with the transom-mount transducer.
  • Page 22 For planing hulls – Install in the flat planing area near the stern. Always install forward of the propeller(s) and shaft(s). For small displacement hulls – Install near the centerline of the hull and 1/3 of the way forward from the stern. Always install forward of the propeller(s) and shaft(s).

  • Page 23: Installation Notes - In-Hull Transducer

    It is very important to seal the opening around the transducer using a high-quality marine sealant suitable for underwater use. After installation, do not leave your boat in the water for any amount of time without checking for leaks. Installation Notes – In-Hull Transducer Detailed instructions for this installation will be included with the trans- ducer.

  • Page 24: Installation Notes - Transducer For Speed And Temperature Only

    Installation Notes – Transducer for Speed and Temperature Only This type of transducer may be used with a thru-hull transducer which reads depth only. The speed/temperature transducer is attached to the transom of the boat. Detailed instructions for this installation will be included with the transducer.

  • Page 25: Suppression Ferrites

    This is especially important with wiring for the boat’s ignition, alternator, or tachometer. It is also helpful to keep the transducer cable away from the FishFinder power cable. If it is necessary to run the transducer cable across any wires, make the crossing at a right angle.

Generally, the larger the fish symbol appears, the larger the fish. (The size of the fish symbol actually depends on a number of factors.

  • Page 47: Choosing A Frequency

    Choosing a Frequency We said that the FishFinder uses sound waves to “see” through the water under the boat. The “frequency” is a measure of how fast the sound waves change or “vibrate.” The FishFinder uses sound waves with two different frequencies –...

  • Page 48: Fish Indications

    There is really nothing very solid for the sound waves to bounce off of. The FishFinder 465 is very good at telling the difference between a fish and the surrounding water. In fact, Apelco is the leader in this technology.
