As with any electronic device, be sure the fishfinder is mounted where it is well ventilated and free from gasoline fumes.172.4 Cable Runs18Cutting the transducer cable will severely reduce sonar performance:18If the cable is cut, it must be replaced-it cannot be repaired. Cutting the cable will also void the warranty.182.5 Mounting the Fishfinder21Bracket Mounting21To mount the DS400/500 on the supplied bracket:211. Loosen the knobs and remove the mounting bracket from the unit.212. Mark the locations of the mounting bracket screw holes on the mounting surface.213. Drill 5/16" (7 mm) holes through the mounting surface at the marked locations.214. Align the mounting bracket holes with the holes on the mounting surface.215. Use the screws and nuts supplied to attach the mounting bracket to the mounting surface at the marked locations.216. Attach the unit to the mounting bracket, adjust the display angle, and tighten the knobs.21Console Mounting (optional)21To flush mount the unit directly into the console using the optional kit:211. 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.212. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area is required. DS400: allow at least 5º" (140mm) wide by 4½" in (1...213. Using the template supplied at the end of this handbook, trace out the unit opening and four mounting screw locations.214. Use a 3-5/8" hole saw to cut the hole through which the circular rear of the unit will pass.215. Remove the mounting bracket knobs, bracket and mounting frame from the unit. Make sure that the unit fits in the cut-out area.226. Drill four 3/16 in (5 mm) holes as indicated on the template.227. Hand tighten the studs into the holes provided at the rear of the unit.228. Connect the Power/NMEA cable and transducer cables to the unit. Avoid tight bends in the cables.229. Place the gasket on the unit and slide the unit into the panel cut-out.2210. Hand tighten the nuts to secure the unit to the console.2211. Alternatively, place a spacer over each of the four studs and secure with thumb nuts.222.6 System Connections23DC Power Connection23f23A fast blow 2 amp fuse is installed in-line on the red (positive) wire.24CAUTION:24If the power connections are accidentally reversed the system will not work. Use a multimeter to ensure that the input power leads are connected for correct polarity.24Transducer Connection24CAUTION:24WARNING:25Removing 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 DS400/500.25If the transducer cable is accidentally removed while the DS400/500 is powered on, remove power from the fishfinder, replace the...252.7 Installing the E66062 (P58) Transducer26CAUTION: NEVER USE SOLVENTS26Cleaners, fuel, paint, sealants, and other products may contain strong solvents, such as acetone, which attack many plastics greatly reducing their strength.26Applications26Tools and Materials26Pretest27Mounting Location27CAUTION:27Avoid mounting the transducer where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.27Installation28Assembling281. Insert the transducer’s pivot posts into the recesses on the sides of the bracket (see Figure 2-8 ).282. Press the two nuts into the slots in the back of the bracket.283. 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.28Marking and Hole Drilling291. 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 ).292. 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.29CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.293. 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 ...29Plastic Shim29Mounting the Bracket291. Apply marine sealant to the threads of two, #10 x 1-3/4", self-tapping bracket screws to prevent water seepage into the transom.292. Screw the transducer (with the shim if needed) to the hull (see Figure 2-10 ). Do not tighten the screws at this time.29Checking the Angle and Projection301. 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.302. 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.303. When you are satisfied with the position of the transducer, tighten the two bracket screws.31Testing on the Water311. Become familiar with your fishfinder’s performance at a speed of 4 kts (5 MPH).312. Gradually increase the boat speed and observe the gradual decline in performance due to turbulent water flowing over the transducer’s active surface.313. 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.314. If the performance improves while turning, the transducer’s position probably needs adjustment. It is probably in aerated wat...31Stabilizing the Bracket32Cable Routing32CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.321. If a hole must be drilled through the transom, choose a location well above the waterline (see Figure 2-10 ). Check for obstr...322. Route the cable over or through the transom.323. 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.334. Position the second cable clamp halfway between the first clamp and the cable hole. Mark this mounting hole.335. 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.336. 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.337. 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...338. Position the two cable clamps and fasten them in place. If used, push the cable cover over the cable and screw it in place.339. Route the cable to the instrument being careful not to tear the cable jacket when passing it through the bulkhead(s) and othe...3310. Connect the transducer to the transducer connector on the rear of the fishfinder.33Checking for Leaks33CAUTION:33When 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.33Operation and Maintenance34Releasing the transducer34CAUTION:34Never strike the transducer with anything except the palm of the hand. Never strike the paddlewheel34Antifouling Paint34Cleaning34Servicing the Paddlewheel34Chapter 3: Getting Started373.1 Introduction373.2 Powering on the Fishfinder373.3 Simulator Mode373.4 LCD Display383.5 Keypad Operation403.6 Selecting the Display Page41To change Display Pages:413.7 Main Menu43Selecting MENU Items44To make changes to the menu settings:441.
