Page 5: Become An Underwater Explorer
Traditionally, viewers controlled camera depth manually. With cable in hand and eyes glued to the moni- tor, they'd busily raise and lower the camera as depth and boat speed required. The Motorized Aqua-Vu or “MAV” automatically deploys and retrieves the underwater camera with a footpad. The foot con- trolled MAV is the first hands-free underwater viewing system ever made. -

Page 8: Installing Your Mav
Installing your MAV Before starting the mounting process (drilling holes, etc.), map out the precise location of each compo- nent, as well as how cables will be run from plug to plug. Set up each component (Monitor, PowerSpool, Footpad) temporarily in its prospective location to assure that it will be fully functional and accessible, without interfering with adjacent items such as trolling motors, sonar, rod holders, etc. - Page 9 Installing your MAV (4) Connecting to Battery: MAV is powered by your boat’s 12-volt battery system. NOTE: The power cable is protected with a 12-volt 15-amp circuit breaker to guard against unit failure should a short occur in your 12-volt system. In most cases, we recommend attaching the MAV power cable direct- ly to the boat’s main starting battery, which is constantly recharged through the alternator.
