These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an automobile roof, even your body. Like most GPS receivers, this unit does not have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside.

    Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the unit in some other order if you prefer, but we rec- ommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vessel! 1.

  • Page 22: Recommended Tools And Supplies

    Read these instructions carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the installation methods is right for your boat. Remember, transducer location is the most critical part of a so- nar installation. Recommended Tools and Supplies If you prefer the option of routing the cable through the transom, you will need a 5/8"...
  • Page 23 NOTE: Some aluminum boats with strakes or ribs on the outside of the hull create large amounts of turbulence at high speed. These boats typically have large outboard motors capable of propelling the boat at speeds faster than 35 mph. Typically, a good transom location on aluminum boats is between the ribs closest to the engine.

  • Page 24: How Low Should You Go

    Transom Hull bottom Align transducer centerline with hull bottom. A dual frequency transducer (left) and a single frequency transducer (right). How low should you go? For most situations, you should install your Skimmer transducer so that its centerline is level with the bottom of the boat hull. This will usually give you the best combination of smooth water flow and protection from bangs and bumps.There, however, are times when you may need to adjust the transducer slightly higher or lower.

  • Page 25: Transom Transducer Assembly And Mounting

    The shoot-thru-hull installation does have its drawbacks. First, some loss of sensitivity does occur, even on the best hulls. This varies from hull to hull, even from different installations on the same hull. This is caused by differences in hull lay-up and construction. Second, the transducer angle cannot be adjusted for the best fish arches on your sonar display.
  • Page 26 Align plastic ratchets in bracket. B. Two-piece bracket: Locate the four plastic ratchets in the trans- ducer's hardware package. Press two ratchets into the sides of the plastic bracket and two on either side of the transducer as shown in the follow- ing illustrations.
  • Page 27 2. Aligning the transducer on the transom. A. One-piece bracket: Slide the transducer between the two ratch- ets. Temporarily slide the bolt though the transducer assembly and hold it against the transom. Looking at the transducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust so that its face is parallel to the ground. If it does, then the "A"...
  • Page 28 If the transducer's face isn't parallel with the ground, remove and disassemble the transducer and ratchets. Place the ratchets into the bracket holes with the letter "B" aligned with the bracket alignment mark. Place them on the transducer aligned with the 12 o'clock posi- tion on the transducer stem.

One-piece bracket: Remove the transducer from the bracket and re- assemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown in the following figures.

  • Page 30: Trolling Motor Bracket Installation (Single-Frequency Only)

    6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable at the transducer. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from the engine's wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires and cables, and aerators can be picked up by the sonar.

  • Page 31: Transducer Orientation And Fish Arches

    3. Route the transducer cable alongside the trolling motor shaft. Use plastic ties (not included) to attach the transducer cable to the trolling motor shaft. Make sure there is enough slack in the cable for the motor to turn freely. Route the cable to the sonar unit and the transducer is ready for use.

  • Page 32: Shoot-Thru-Hull Preparation

    NOTE: Periodically wash the transducer's face with soap and water to re- move any oil film. Oil and dirt on the face will reduce the sensitivity or may even prevent operation. Shoot-Thru-Hull Preparation Hulls With Flotation Materials The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an area that does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglass lay- ers.
  • Page 33 Transducer location Transducer location (high speed) (trolling speed) Shoot-thru-hull transducer locations for high speed or trolling speed operation. To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.) 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water. Add a little water to the sump of the boat.

  • Page 34: Shoot-Thru-Hull Installation

    The second bottom signal will probably disappear and the bottom signal intensity will likely decrease. 3. Now move the transducer around to find the best location with the strongest possible bottom signal. If you find a spot with an acceptable bottom signal, mark the location and move on to step 4.
  • Page 35 Sand this surface (unit's face) Orient the Skimmer with the nose facing the bow of the boat. WARNING: Use only the epoxy available from LEI. It has been for- mulated to work with these installation procedures. Other epoxy types may be too thin or may not cure to the right consistency for optimum transducer performance.

  • Page 36: Speed/Temperature Sensors

    This unit is packed with a transducer containing a built-in temp sensor. The SeaCharter package also includes a speed sensor. If you have a FishElite 502c and want a speed sensor or additional temp sensor, see the Accessory Ordering Information in the back of this manual.

  • Page 38 Make sure the location does not interfere with the boat's trailer. Usually, the sensor is mounted about one foot to the side of the transom's center- line. Once you have determined the proper location for the unit, place the sensor on the transom. The bottom of the bracket should be flush with the hull's bottom.

  • Page 39: Power Connections

    The sensor is now ready for use. Connect the sensor to the accessory socket on the back of your unit. If you have any questions concerning the installation of the sensor, please contact your local boat dealer. Power Connections The unit works from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, at- tach the power cable directly to the battery.

The adjustment method works the same in both modes, but gives you slightly different results. Adjusting sensitivity in Auto Sensitivity Mode is similar to manually ad- justing a car's speed with the accelerator pedal while cruise control is on.

  • Page 64: Colorline

    ColorLine ColorLine lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It paints a brighter color on targets that are stronger than a preset value. This allows you to tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom. For example, a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is shown with a narrow, colored line (dark blue tinged with red or a little yellow.) Since fish are among the weakest echoes, they show up mostly as blue arches.

    The Fish I.D. feature displays fish symbols on the screen in place of the actual fish echoes. There are several fish symbol sizes. These are used to designate the relative size between targets. In other words, Fish I.D. displays a small fish symbol when it thinks a target is a small fish, a medium fish sym- bol on a larger target and so on.

    There is a common exception to these rules. Some fishermen on fresh- water lakes (or the ocean) using downriggers like to see them on the sonar.
