Sonar module installation This chapter describes how to install the sonar module. Mounting guidelines Choose the mounting location carefully, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other parts behind the panel before you drill or cut. Ensure that any cutting or drilling is done in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure.
Installation Mark the screw locations using the module as a template, and drill pilot holes. Secure the module using fasteners that are suitable for the material you are mounting the module to. Sonar module installation | Installation Manual...
Transducer installation This chapter describes how to install the transducer. The transducer can be mounted either to the shaft or to the motor of the trolling motor. Shaft mounting The transducer can be oriented in three different ways; down looking, forward looking, or in scout position. Down Forward Scout...

Forward: Use for seeing fish and structure directly in front of the transducer. Know the depth of the fish and structure to target your next cast. Scout: Use to scan large areas for fish and structure. Search for schooling fish and know the direction of your next cast. Attach the bracket arm to the shaft front collar Install the bracket arm in the desired position to the shaft collar.

Motor mounting The transducer can be oriented in three different ways on most motors; down looking, forward looking, or in scout position. Down Forward Scout The transducer can be mounted on the port or starboard side of the shaft. Port side Starboard side Down: Use for vertical fishing to see what is below the transducer.

Down orientation Attach the bracket to the transducer. Secure the assembly to the motor using the hose clamp. The hose clamp should be tightened just enough to prevent the transducer from moving during normal use. Then orient the transducer to the down orientation by firmly gripping and rotating the transducer until the alignment marks are aligned.

Forward orientation Attach the bracket to the transducer. Secure the assembly to the motor using the hose clamp. The hose clamp should be tightened just enough to prevent the transducer from moving during normal use. Then orient the transducer to the forward orientation by firmly gripping and rotating the transducer until the alignment marks are aligned.

Scout orientation Attach the transducer to the scout bracket arm. Then install the transducer and bracket arm to the bracket. Secure the assembly to the motor using the hose clamp. The orientation can be adjusted by firmly gripping and rotating the transducer until the alignment marks are aligned.
Wiring This chapter describes how to wire the sonar system. Guidelines Do not: • Make sharp bends in the cables. • Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors. • Run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or high frequency signal cables.
Transducer Leave enough slack in the cable so the transducer can be adjusted to all possible orientations (Forward/Down/Scout). There also needs to be enough slack in the cable loop so that the motor shaft can spin all the way around without damaging the cable. Connect the transducer to the sonar port of the module.
Ethernet Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the module. The other end should be connected to your display unit or Ethernet expansion device. Ethernet | 23 Wiring | Installation Manual...
Power The unit is designed to be powered by a 12 or 24 V DC system. It is protected against reverse polarity, under voltage, and over voltage (for a limited duration). A fuse or circuit breaker should be fitted to the positive supply. For recommended fuse rating, refer to “Technical specification”...

12/24 V DC Description Color Not used Blue Accessory wake up Yellow + 12 V DC DC Negative Black Fuse Switch Power controlled by power bus/display unit The unit will turn ON/OFF when power is applied/removed. By connecting the yellow wire to a display unit’s yellow wire, the sonar module will turn on the moment the display unit is powered up.

Grounding The grounding terminal is DC isolated from power to eliminate the risk of galvanic corrosion. For installations that suffer from noise issues, the grounding terminal allows for the option to connect to various possible ground points. The grounding point can be the vessel’s bonded ground/earth, non bonded RF Ground, or battery minus (DC negative).
