    • Mounting Location

      17
      • CAUTION:

        17
        • Mount the DS400/500 in a protected area away from prolonged exposure to rain, salt spray, and direct sunlight, but well ventilated.

          17
      • WARNING:

        17
        • Removal of the transducer cable from the DS400/500 while power is turned on can cause sparks. As with any electronic device, be sure the fishfinder is mounted where it is well ventilated and free from gasoline fumes.

          17
  • 2.4 Cable Runs

    18
    • Cutting the transducer cable will severely reduce sonar performance:

      18
    • If the cable is cut, it must be replaced-it cannot be repaired. Cutting the cable will also void the warranty.

      18
  • 2.5 Mounting the Fishfinder

    21
    • Bracket Mounting

      21
      • To mount the DS400/500 on the supplied bracket:

        21
      • 1. Loosen the knobs and remove the mounting bracket from the unit.

        21
        • 2. Mark the locations of the mounting bracket screw holes on the mounting surface.

          21
        • 3. Drill 5/16" (7 mm) holes through the mounting surface at the marked locations.

          21
        • 4. Align the mounting bracket holes with the holes on the mounting surface.

          21
        • 5. Use the screws and nuts supplied to attach the mounting bracket to the mounting surface at the marked locations.

          21
        • 6. Attach the unit to the mounting bracket, adjust the display angle, and tighten the knobs.

          21
    • Console Mounting (optional)

      21
      • To flush mount the unit directly into the console using the optional kit:

        21
      • 1. Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other items behind the location before proceeding. Make sure there is sufficient rear access for mounting and cabling.

        21
        • 2. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area is required. DS400: allow at least 5º" (140mm) wide by 4½" in (1...

          21
        • 3. Using the template supplied at the end of this handbook, trace out the unit opening and four mounting screw locations.

          21
        • 4. Use a 3-5/8" hole saw to cut the hole through which the circular rear of the unit will pass.

          21
        • 5. Remove the mounting bracket knobs, bracket and mounting frame from the unit. Make sure that the unit fits in the cut-out area.

          22
        • 6. Drill four 3/16 in (5 mm) holes as indicated on the template.

          22
        • 7. Hand tighten the studs into the holes provided at the rear of the unit.

          22
        • 8. Connect the Power/NMEA cable and transducer cables to the unit. Avoid tight bends in the cables.

          22
        • 9. Place the gasket on the unit and slide the unit into the panel cut-out.

          22
        • 10. Hand tighten the nuts to secure the unit to the console.

          22
        • 11. Alternatively, place a spacer over each of the four studs and secure with thumb nuts.

      • WARNING:

        25
        • Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the DS400/500 while the fishfinder is powered on can cause sparks. Only remove the transducer cable after power has been removed from the DS400/500.

  • 2.7 Installing the E66062 (P58) Transducer

    26
    • CAUTION: NEVER USE SOLVENTS

      26
      • Cleaners, fuel, paint, sealants, and other products may contain strong solvents, such as acetone, which attack many plastics greatly reducing their strength.

      • CAUTION:

        27
        • Avoid mounting the transducer where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.

          27
    • Installation

      28
      • Assembling

        28
        • 1. Insert the transducer’s pivot posts into the recesses on the sides of the bracket (see Figure 2-8 ).

          28
          • 2. Press the two nuts into the slots in the back of the bracket.

            28
          • 3. Aligned the holes in the transducer, bracket, and nuts. Insert the two machine screws capturing the nuts. Tighten the machine screws until the transducer will stay in the “up” (released) position unaided.

            28
      • Marking and Hole Drilling

        29
        • 1. At the selected location on the starboard side of the hull, position the transducer, so the transducer projects 3 mm (1/8") below the bottom edge of the transom (see Figure 2-10 ).

          29
          • 2. Being sure the bottom of the transducer is parallel to the waterline, mark the location of the screw holes with an “X” in the center of the two outer most slots.

            29
          • CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

            29
            • 3. Using a 4 mm, #23, or 9/64" drill bit, drill two holes 22 mm (7/8") deep at the locations indicated. To prevent drilling too ...

              29
      • Plastic Shim

        29
      • Mounting the Bracket

        29
        • 1. Apply marine sealant to the threads of two, #10 x 1-3/4", self-tapping bracket screws to prevent water seepage into the transom.

          29
          • 2. Screw the transducer (with the shim if needed) to the hull (see Figure 2-10 ). Do not tighten the screws at this time.

            29
      • Checking the Angle and Projection

        30
        • 1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside of the transducer relative to the underside of the hull (see Figure 2-9 ). The stern of the transducer should be 1 - 3 mm (1/16 - 1/8") below the bow of the transducer or parallel to the bottom of the hull.

          30
          • 2. Using the vertical adjustment space in the bracket slots, slide the transducer up or down (see Figure 2-10 ). Be sure the bottom left corner of the transducer projections 3 mm (1/8") below the bottom of the hull.

            30
          • 3. When you are satisfied with the position of the transducer, tighten the two bracket screws.

            31
      • Testing on the Water

        31
        • 1. Become familiar with your fishfinder’s performance at a speed of 4 kts (5 MPH).

          31
          • 2. Gradually increase the boat speed and observe the gradual decline in performance due to turbulent water flowing over the transducer’s active surface.

            31
          • 3. If the degradation is sudden (not gradual), identify the boat speed at which the onset occurred. Return the boat to this speed, then gradually increase speed while making moderate turns in both directions.

            31
          • 4. If the performance improves while turning, the transducer’s position probably needs adjustment. It is probably in aerated wat...

      • Stabilizing the Bracket

        32
      • Cable Routing

        32
        • CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

          32
        • 1. If a hole must be drilled through the transom, choose a location well above the waterline (see Figure 2-10 ). Check for obstr...

          32
          • 2. Route the cable over or through the transom.

            32
          • 3. On the outside of the hull, secure the cable against the transom using the cable clamps. Position a cable clamp 50 mm (2") above the bracket and mark the mounting hole with a pencil.

            33
          • 4. Position the second cable clamp halfway between the first clamp and the cable hole. Mark this mounting hole.

            33
          • 5. If a hole has been drilled in the transom, open the appropriate slot in the cable cover. Position the cover over the cable where it enters the hull. Mark the two mounting holes.

            33
          • 6. At each of the marked locations, use a 3 mm or 1/8" bit to drill a hole 10 mm (3/8") deep. To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the bit 10 mm (3/8") from the point.

            33
          • 7. Apply marine sealant to the threads of the #6 x 1/2" self-tapping screws to prevent water from seeping into the transom. If y...

            33
          • 8. Position the two cable clamps and fasten them in place. If used, push the cable cover over the cable and screw it in place.

            33
          • 9. Route the cable to the instrument being careful not to tear the cable jacket when passing it through the bulkhead(s) and othe...

            33
          • 10. Connect the transducer to the transducer connector on the rear of the fishfinder.

            33
    • Checking for Leaks

      33
      • CAUTION:

        33
        • When the boat is placed in the water, immediately check for leaks around the screws and any holes drilled in the hull. Never install a transducer and leave the boat in the water unchecked for several days.
