Page 3: Introduction
The Magna series has powerful features available through easy-to-use menus. To get started with your Eagle unit, first read the installation section. This is where it all begins. Improper installation can cause problems down the road. After you’ve read the instructions, install the unit, then read the rest of the manual. -
Page 4: Installation
INSTALLATION - Bracket You can install the MagnaView on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional IDA-3 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. -
Page 5: Power Connections
POWER CONNECTIONS The MagnaView works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the best isolation from electrical noise. -
Page 6: Speed/Temperature Sensor Installation
If the base of the transom has a radius, fill the gap between the transom and the sensor with caulking compound. This will help ensure a smooth water flow. Route the sensor cable to the in-line connector on the MagnaView Plus’ power cable. The speed/temp sensor is now ready for use. GOOD LOCATION... -

Page 11: Sensitivity
Typically, the best sensitivity level shows a good, solid bottom signal with grayline. The MagnaView adjusts the sensitivity level to keep a solid bottom signal on the screen. It adds a little extra when it’s in the automatic mode. This gives it the capability to show fish and other detail. -
Page 12: Fish Id
If you reach the maximum or minimum level, a tone sounds alerting you to the limits. The level chosen by the MagnaView when it’s first turned on is usually adequate for most conditions. Experiment with your unit to find the Grayline setting that’s best. -

The menu will clear automatically after a few seconds or you can press the ON/CLEAR key to clear the screen.

Page 21: Surveying A Lake
The most efficient way to become acquainted with a body of water is to survey it with your MagnaView Start with a map of the lake, if possible, and indicate the promising spots in relation to landmarks on shore. -
Page 22: Water Temp. And Thermoclines
For example, from 45 to 60 feet. The smaller the segment, the better the screen resolution will be. The easiest way to do this on the MagnaView is with the Zoom feature. This feature expands the echoes, making it easier to see detail. For the best results, turn the sensitivity up as high as possible without getting too much noise on the screen. - Page 23 Many times bait fish will be above the thermocline while larger game fish will suspend in or just below it. The MagnaView can detect this invisible layer in the water, but Fish ID will have to be off, and the sensitivity will probably have to be turned up to see it.
