  • Page 2: General Description

    Thus what you see on the dis- play is a brief history of what the boat just went over. The LC-8 displays the depth as an easy to read number in the lower corner of the display The LC-8 has many functions that can be controlled by the user.

  • Page 4: Unit Installation

    INSTALLATION To make the LC-8 work, you must provide the unit with power and mount the transducer in an appropriate location. UNIT INSTALLATION Find a convenient place to mount the unit. This may include a boat seat, deck, dash, or a portable case.

  • Page 5: Transducer Installation

    TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION Transom Mounted The LC-8 transducer can be mounted on the transom of the boat. The shape will allow a clear depth reading at any boat speed. Locate a spot similar to the one in fig- ure E. Keep in mind that you...
  • Page 6 In-Hull Mounting This method, gluing the transducer to the hull, gets the same results as if you were mounting the transducer externally, only there are no holes to drill in the boat and there is no transducer on the tran- som to get damaged by impact.

  • Page 7: Operation

    OPERATION This figure shows the main controls of the LC-8 DEPTH CONTROL The two buttons at the top of the control panel set the depth range when the unit is in Manual Depth Mode. Pressing the SHALLOW button changes the range to the next shallowest range. Pressing the DEEP button changes the range to the next deeper range.
  • Page 8 To resume to normal operation press the RESUME button. ON/OFF Simply turns the LC-8 ON and OFF. When you turn the LC-8 off all of your menu and control settings will be saved in memory so that when you turn it on again the unit will operate the same way as it did when you last turned it off.
  • Page 9 2 - AUTO - G Press the 2 key to enter the Automatic Gain Submenu. In this submenu, pressing the 2 or 3 key puts the LC-8 into Automatic Gain Mode. The 2 selection tends to keep the gain on the higher side and the 3 selection will keep it on the lower side.
  • Page 10 Fish Alarm on. When the 2<HIGH> selection is cho- sen the alarm will sound on all fish targets that the LC-8 sees. When the 3<LOW> selection is chosen it will only sound on larger fish tar- gets.
  • Page 11 Press the 5 key to enter the Depth Range Submenu. Press the 1 key to activate the SHALLOW setting. The maximum range of the LC-8 will be 120 feet. Press the 2 key to activate the DEEP setting. The maximum range will now be 400 feet. The default is SHALLOW.
  • Page 12 HIGH SPEED OPERATION The LC-8 can read depths at almost any boat speed. Due to the limited speed of the display, the displayed bottom may be some dis- tance behind you, depending on how fast the boat is traveling Here high speed is defined as any speed at or above the planning speed of the boat.
  • Page 13 Unlike open water use, the direction in which the transducer is pointed is very critical. You want your bait to be located in the dead center of the cone sound, directly under the transducer. This way you can see very small baits at low gain settings and also see fish come in from all sides.

  • Page 14: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE PERMANENT MOUNT With permanent mount applications, the power cord is left con- nected to the source, the transducer is not easily removed, and the gimbal bracket is screwed to the seat, deck, or dash. Under these con- ditions maintenance is very simple because nothing changes once the unit is installed.
