has over-voltage protection that turns the unit off w hen input
voltage exceeds 20 VDC. Some outboard motors do not effectively regulate
the pow er output of the engine's alternator and can produce voltage in
excess of 20 volts w hen running at high RPM s. The
voltage in the low er left corner of the display w hen it exceeds 15 VDC. Use
this readout to determine if the voltage exceeds 20 VDC.

You are seeing noise or interference caused by one of several sources.
Noise can be caused by other electronic devices. Turn off any nearby
electronics and see if the problem goes aw ay. Noise can also be caused by
the engine. If engine noise is causing the interference, the problem w ill
intensify at higher RPM s. Increase the engine speed w ith the boat
stationary to isolate this cause. Propeller cavitation can appear as noise on-
screen. If the transducer is mounted too close to the propeller, the
turbulence generated can interfere w ith the sonar signal. Ensure that the
transducer is mounted at least 15" (38cm) from the prop.
10. The screen does not display a full fish arch.
Check the running angle of the transducer. If the running angle is too
great, a full fish arch may not appear. Reduce the running angle of the
transducer. Several incremental adjustments may be necessary.
