How low should you go? For most situations, you should install your Skimmer transducer so its centerline is level with the bottom of the boat hull. NOTE: Some aluminum boats with strakes or ribs on the outside of the hull create large amounts of turbulence at high speed.ġ4 Good and poor transducer locations. Use extreme care if mounting the transducer inside the hull, because once the epoxy is applied and it is set into position, the transducer cannot be removed.ġ3 water, interference caused by bubbles and turbulence will show on the sonar's display in the form of random lines or dots whenever the boat is moving. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. The arrow keys also help you move around the menus so you can execute different commands.ġ1 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar and GPS systems in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: CAUTION: You should read over this entire installation section before drilling any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1.ġ2 Read these instructions carefully before attempting the installation. The arrow keys also control a horizontal line depth cursor on the sonar screen. The FAA has a plan under way to boost GPS performance even further with its Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS.ġ0 Arrow Keys The arrow keys control the movement of dotted cross-hair lines on your mapping screen called the cursor. Federal Aviation Administration has special needs for aircraft traffic control that go beyond basic GPS. Reliable accuracy for civilian users jumped from 100 meters (330 feet) under SA to the present level of 10 to 20 meters (about 30 to 60 feet.ĩ GPS is plenty accurate for route navigation, but the U.S. (Compare that to a floppy disk's 1.Ĩ GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation that the federal government discontinued SA on May 2, 2000, after the military developed other methods to deny GPS service to enemy forces. These solid-state memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp, but can hold data ranging from 8 MB to 1 GB in size. If you're new to GPS, read on, and you can later impress your friend s with your new-found knowledge.)

It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.ġ Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar and GPS! We know you're anxious to begin navigating and finding fish, but we have a favor to ask.Ģ After you've gained some experience with your sonar, you'll want to check out Section 4, which discusses advanced Sonar Options and Other Features. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. Vi WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.
