This ice fishing power pack is designed for use with the following products:
Lowrance
X67C sonar and M68C sonar/GPS combo.
Even though it was designed for ice fishing, this
power pack can also extend your sonar's use into
warm weather angling. It's ideal for fishing from
a dock or pier. Crappie fishermen who tie up to
drowned trees will find the PPP-15 useful for
that type of stationary fishing as well.
With
an
optional
transducer, you can run the unit in your own
boat, or take it along as a second sonar in a
friend's boat. The versatile color sonars that are
compatible with the PPP-15 have scrolling chart
displays as well as flasher displays, making
them fully functional for both boat trolling and
stationary use.
The PPP-15 package includes: freeze resistant
power pack carry bag, base plate, quick
release mounting bracket, rechargeable gel
cell battery, battery charger, ice fishing
transducer, transducer mounting rod, swing
arm and adjustment lock for holding the
mounting rod, and the nuts and bolts needed
to assemble the power pack.
When assembled, the pack is designed to fit comfortably inside a typical
5-gallon plastic bucket. This power pack can also use an optional bat-
tery adapter that holds eight "D" size batteries.
You can assemble everything without tools, but it's easiest if you have a
screwdriver, and perhaps a small adjustable wrench or pair of wire pliers.

Page 2: Battery Care
To charge, attach red connector to red (posi- tive) contact and black connector to black (negative) contact. Make sure the battery is fully charged before you use the PPP-15 for the first time. When fully discharged, it takes approximately nine hours to recharge the battery. -
Page 3: Battery Installation
You can recharge the battery after every fishing trip, even if the bat- tery was not fully discharged. This will always keep the unit ready for your next fishing expedition. Disconnect the battery when stored for long periods of time. You should also consider charging the battery once a month while in storage. -
Page 4: Mounting The Unit
Plug in here. Connect the sonar unit to the power/transducer. CAUTION: When using the sonar in a saltwater environment, we strongly recommend that you unplug the red and black power connectors from the battery terminals when the unit is not in use. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a power supply, electroly- sis can occur in the power cable plug. - Page 5 Release the ratchets and the unit locks into the new position. To remove the unit from the PPP-15, press the ratchets and lift the unit off the bracket. (An optional quick release mounting bracket and an optional swivel base are available for mounting your sonar in a boat.)

Page 6: Mounting The Transducer
MOUNTING THE TRANSDUCER 1. Slip the washer onto the transducer rod, followed by the transducer and the wing nut. Assembled transducer, attached to the mounting rod. 2. The wing nut should be tightened enough to hold the transducer on the rod, but it should be loose enough to allow the transducer to swing freely. - Page 7 Snap adjustment lock onto transducer mounting rod as shown, then screw it into the swing arm's socket. If you find the adjustment lock is too hard to turn, consider adding a small amount of petroleum jelly or silicone lubricant to the adjustment lock's threads.
- Page 8 Ratchet end Adjust transducer position by either loosening the red adjustment lock (for height), or rotating the swing arm (side to side). Press lightly on the ratchet end to hold the arm in position and resist side movement. Tip: When landing a fish, push the arm to one side or just grab the swing arm, lift it out of your fishing hole and lay it to one side.
- Page 9 Bolt Washer Portable transducer assembly: rear view (left) and side view (right.) Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Lo- cate the transducer on the hull as shown in the following figure. Don't let the bracket extend below the hull, because water pressure against it can cause the suction cup to come off at speed.
- Page 10 There is room inside the power pack bag for the portable transducer as well as the ice fishing transducer and the battery charger. Fold the transducer against the rod, so it will fit inside the bag. Zip up the openings and your equipment is ready for transport. PPP-15 ready for travel.
