Each kind of transducer is designed for a particular type of use. -
Page 11: Assembling The Transducer Bracket
Use a trolling motor transducer if – . . . you want to attach the transducer to a trolling motor. (Not recom- mended for deep-water operations.) 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 or to the shaft of the trolling motor. -

Page 14: Mounting The Transom-Mount Transducer
• The bracket has a quick-release mechanism. This may reduce damage by allowing the transducer to flip up if it hits any debris or the bottom. See Fig. 2-4. Allow enough clearance above the transducer so that it can swing upward completely. This is about 10" (254 mm) measured from the bottom of the transom. -
Page 15: Mounting The Optional Sidelooker Transducer
Attach the bracket to the hull using the panhead screws with flat washers. Before you tighten the screws, apply a good-quality marine sealant to the pilot holes. This will protect the hull from water penetra- tion. Do not tighten the screws completely yet. Move the bracket up or down so that the leading edge of the trans- ducer has the clearance shown in Fig. -
Page 16: Installation Notes - Thru-Hull Transducer
Run the Sidelooker cable beside the depth cable for the transom- mount transducer. Installation Notes – Thru-Hull Transducer Detailed instructions for this installation will be included with the trans- ducer. In this section, we will note just a few important points. Earlier we listed three general rules for placing transducers. -
Page 17: Installation Notes - In-Hull Transducer
fairing block must be able to resist the drag of the water against the hull, and must also be completely waterproof. If the hull of the boat has a core-type hull, you will need to follow some special mounting procedures. The core material must be protected from any water which may leak from the inside of the boat. -
Page 18: Installation Notes - Trolling Motor Transducer
Installation Notes – Trolling Motor Transducer Both Downlooker and Sidelooker transducers may be installed on a trolling motor. See Fig. 2-8. Detailed instructions for these installations will be included with the transducer(s). The Downlooker transducer is mounted on the horizontal gear case of the motor. -
Page 19: 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 21: Dismounting The Display Unit
Slide the display unit back into the bracket. Adjust the display unit for the best viewing angle. You can turn the display from side to side, and tilt it up or down. Dismounting the Display Unit See Fig. 2-9. To release the display from the bracket, press and hold down the left and right sides. -
Page 22: Disassembling From Bracket
Drill the two small holes for the threaded studs as shown on the mounting template. Use a 7/32" (5.5 mm) drill bit. Remove the template and draw straight lines between the 1/2" holes. Cut along each of the lines with a small saw. Separate the display unit from the mounting bracket. -
Page 23: Installing The Transducer Cable
Installing the Transducer Cable A 20 foot length of cable, with the connector attached, is supplied with the transducer. During the installation, do not cut the transducer cable or remove the connector. Do not try to shorten or splice the cable. The transducer cable includes several wires, along with shielding and insulation. -
Page 24: Installing The Transducer Cable - Sidelooker Option
Coil the extra cable and tie it out of the way. If the 20 foot transducer cable is not long enough, a 15 foot extension cable (4.6 m) is available from your Raymarine dealer (part no. M99- 139). When you attach the extension cable, be sure that the connec- tions are tight and watertight. -
Page 25: Installing The Transducer Cable
Plug the cable from the depth-only transducer into the receptacle connector on the optional speed- and temperature-only transducer. The speed- and temperature-only transducer then connects at the transducer receptacle of the FishFinder L365. This is shown below in Fig. 2-15. Sensor for... -
Page 26: Dc Power Connections
The 5-foot power cable (1.5 m) supplied with the display unit should reach the source of DC power. On a small boat, connect the power leads directly to the main battery isolation switch or breaker. On a larger boat, route the power leads to the DC power distribution panel. It is very important that you connect the power leads correctly. -
Page 27: Calibrating The Sensors
in spite of the longer wire distance. For runs of 20 to 35 feet (6 to 10.6 m), use #14 AWG. If you extend the power wiring, be sure all electrical connections are solid and durable. Soldering is the best way to make these connec- tions. - Page 28 If the display unit is reading high or low, you can correct for this using the entry for “Speed Cal.” (To reach Speed Cal, go to the System Setup display. This is described in Section 4.) The entry for Speed Cal is a percentage.

FishFinder Page Auto sensitivity on Auto range on Auto features on Transducer frequency Speed Log/distance Water temperature Bottom indication Buzzer symbol Fish alarm set Deep alarm set Shallow alarm set A moment after you first turn on the display unit, the Lamp/Contrast menu disappears. - Page 35 Some of these echoes indicate fish, and others show the bottom. As new echoes are received, the FishFinder “draws” a graph of the bottom. The bottom graph helps you to tell whether the bottom is rising or falling. It also allows you to identify the shape or “structure” of the bottom. This can indicate a reef or shipwreck.
- Page 36 Auto zoom on (Z) The “zoom” can be used to magnify the image from a small section of the water below the boat. (This is used with the Zoom display, which we will describe in a moment.) When the auto zoom feature is on, the FishFinder automatically moves the zoom window up or down to track the bottom.
- Page 37 Water temperature This entry shows the current water temperature at the surface of the water. (The reading for water temperature can be helpful for finding fish. A particular type of fish will often prefer water in a narrow temperature range.) From the System Setup display, you can turn this item off or change the units used for this display.
- Page 38 Buzzer symbol This symbol shows whether any of the alarms will use the buzzer. There are three kinds of alarms: shallow, deep, and fish. If one of these alarms is set, it will always present a flashing symbol on the display. The Buzzer symbol shows whether the alarms will also use the buzzer.
-
Page 39: Choosing A Frequency
The “frequency” is a measure of how fast the sound waves change or “vibrate.” The FishFinder uses sound waves with two different frequencies – 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Raymarine uses these two frequencies because each is better for a particular purpose: 50 kHz frequency •... -
Page 40: Fish Indications
The body of a fish is just a little more dense than the surrounding water. There is really nothing very solid for the sound waves to bounce off of. The FishFinder L365 is very good at telling the difference between a fish and the surrounding water. In fact, Raymarine is the leader in this technology. -
Page 41: Bottom Indications
An arch-shaped image indicates a fish. The same fish appears differently when shown by the 50 kHz or 200 kHz 50 kHz transducer beams. 200 kHz This indicates a group of small fish. This shows a fish detected in sidelooker mode. A shallow arch or horizontal line is generated when the boat is moving slowly or stopped. -
Page 42: Performance Modes
Hard (Sand) Soft (Mud) Notice that the lower layer of the bottom is shown as a solid display. This indicates a weaker echo. Sometimes this means that the upper layer of the bottom is soft. Some of the sound waves may reach through this layer, and may be reflected by a more solid layer below. -
Page 43: Zoom
Zoom Page Press Zoom display (magnified) Top of zoom area Zoom magnification The Zoom page gives you a way of enlarging or magnifying a part of the display area. See Fig. 3-7. (The “zoomed” display is actually larger only in the vertical direction.) The right side of the display shows the same information as the FishFinder page. - Page 44 Zoom magnification This indicates the amount of “zoom” or magnification. You always set the amount of zoom manually, using one of the functions on the Setup display. You can choose an x2 view (double the normal display size), x4, x6 or x8 in the series of setup screens.
-
Page 45: A-Scope Page
A-Scope (Bottom Coverage) Page Press Normal display On the FishFinder display the bottom graph is “drawn” after the FishFinder receives several echoes. This has the effect of showing a record of the bottom contour. The A-scope displays raw sonar data directly from the transducer beam. - Page 46 A-Scope image This shows the beam of sound waves extending down from the boat, and spreading as it moves through the water. Any fish or objects which are positioned under the boat will appear on the display. This is a “real time” display, so you can see the fish symbols moving as the fish swim under the boat.

Page 47: Digital Page
This is the speed of the boat through the water. This entry shows the distance traveled, determined by the speed through the water. The L365 remembers this value after it is turned off. You may reset the log using the Setup Menu. -

Sidelooker Page Transducer mounted on trolling motor 31 beam Fish Boat Fish Sidelooker transducer 11 beam aimed down at 4 angle This feature will only work if an optional Sidelooker transducer has been installed, and if the Sidelooker feature has been turned on in the System Setup Menu. - Page 49 The Sidelooker Page, like the FishFinder Page, displays a graph or chart. The scrolling vertical dashed line represents the centerline of the boat. As new Sidelooker echoes are received, the new information appears at the top of the display, and older information moves towards the bottom. There is no relationship between the chart speed of the FishFinder and the speed of the boat.

Page 54: Sensitivity Setting
Sensitivity Setting The sensitivity adjusts the ability of the unit to tell the differences between echoes of different strengths. In general, the sensitivity should be as high as possible, to detect the fish and show the detail on the bottom. How- ever, if the sensitivity is too high, the unit will begin to see bubbles in the water, debris, and other “background noise.”... -

then use the < and > arrows of the Page control pad to fine- tune the setting. When the FishFinder is turned off, then on again, the Auto sensitivity setting returns to the normal default setting.) Manual sensitivity You can also set the sensitivity manually. If the amount of background noise changes, the FishFinder will not adjust for this. -
Page 56: Chart Speed Setting
Figure 4-4 shows how the chart speed setting affects the display. In both cases, the unit is showing the same section of the bottom. Using a faster chart speed, the display has more space on the display to show this section, so it can include more detail. -
