Page 10: Display Installation
Display Installation Mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is high-contrast and anti- reflective, and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the display out of direct sunlight. - Page 11 Bezel Removal To removing the bezel from the 5 and 7-inch models the card slot door must be open To remove the bezel use a flat head screwdriver. Insert screwdriver into the bezel release slots and pry out and away from the unit. The bottom of the bezel will release from the unit.

Page 15: Transducer Installation
Transducer Installation Recommended Tools and Supplies Tools and Supplies (not included) If you plan to route the transducer cable through the transom, you will need either a 1” drill bit or a 5/8” drill bit depending on the size of the transducer cable connector. Each transom mount requires a high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline sealant/adhesive compound. -
Page 16: Skimmer Installation Instructions
Skimmer Installation Instructions Transducer location and installation is one of the most critical steps in sonar installation. Select a transducer location To function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the water at all times and in a location that has a smooth flow of water when the boat is moving. Poor location Good location Poor location... - Page 17 Aligning Ratchets on Transducer bracket Aligning ratchets on one-piece bracket: The one-piece bracket assembly includes two black plastic ratchets.

- Page 21 Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. When the transducer and bracket are properly aligned mark its position on the hull. Drill the mounting holes for the transducer bracket. For the one- piece bracket use a #29 bit (for the #10 screws).
- Page 22 If you drill a hole in the transom for the transducer cable, make sure it is located above the waterline. Seal the hole with an above or below waterline marine grade sealant. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable near the transducer.
- Page 23 TMB-S Trolling Motor Bracket Installation Note: The TMB-S bracket is designed for one-piece bracket transducers only. The TMB-S trolling motor bracket (Part No. 51-45) is an optional accessory and is available through LEI Extras at www.lei-extras.com. The TMB-S bracket is used to attach a one-piece bracket transducer to a trolling motor. If you regularly fish in water with a lot of underwater structure, such as rocks, stumps and trees, you may consider using a Pod transducer for trolling motor installation.
- Page 24 Skimmer Transducer Shoot-thru-hull Installation Before attempting any installation on boats with flotation material sandwiched within the hull, consult the boat manufacturer. In a shoot-thru-hull installation the transducer is epoxied to the inside of the boat hull. WARNING: Do not remove any material from the inner hull. Careless grinding or cutting on the hull could damage the integrity of the hull.
- Page 25 A transducer can not shoot through wood or metal hulls. Wood and metal hulls require either a transom mount or "thru-hull" installation. For shoot-thru-hull applications many boat hulls have a flat keel pad that offers a good transducer mounting surface. If you are using a Skimmer transducer versus a Pod transducer for this installation, make sure the Skimmer transducer is oriented so the nose of the transducer is facing the bow (front) of the boat.
- Page 26 Pod Transducer Installation Instructions The following instructions explain how to install a Pod transducer inside a hull or on a trolling motor. Read the following instructions carefully before attempting any installation. Use extreme care when mounting a transducer inside a boat hull. Once epoxied into position, the transducer can be very difficult to remove.
- Page 27 On vee hulls try to place the transducer where the deadrise is 10° or less. Sand both the inside surface of the hull, where the transducer is to be epoxied, and the face of the transducer. Sand face of You may want to start with a rougher grit transducer sandpaper, such as 60 grit, and finish with a and bottom...
- Page 28 Pod Transducer Trolling Motor Installation The top of the transducer is curved to fit the contour of the trolling motor. You will need a hose clamp large enough to fit over the trolling motor. The hose clamp is NOT included with the Pod transducer.

Page 29: System Architecture
System Architecture This section explains how the HDS connects to other devices as part of a system. The HDS has a highly scalable system architecture. A system can consist of a basic stand alone fishfinder or chart plotter, or expand to a networked, multi-display system connected to a wide range of accessories. -
Page 30: Wiring The Hds
Wiring the HDS Wiring Guidelines Most installation problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables. When wiring the HDS follow the guidelines below. Don’t do this Do this Don’t make sharp bends in the cables Do make drip and service loops Don’t run cables in a way that allows water Do tie-wrap all cables to keep them secure to flow down into the connectors... -

This can be measured either from the GPS speed over ground (SOG) or by timing the boat over a known distance. Water speed calibration should be performed with as little wind and current movement as possible.
