5. 2 Next take the transducer out of the water and place it in the water in the sump of the boat face down Notice how the signal strength decreases The second bottom signal will probably disappear and the bottom signal intensity will likely decrease 25 3 Now move the transducer around to find the best location with the strongest possible bottom signal If you find a spot with an acceptable bottom signal mark the location and move on to step 4 If you can t get an acceptable bottom signal try turning up the sensi tivity by three or five keystrokes and then move the transducer around once more If you find a spot that works mark it and move on to step 4 If you have to turn up sensitivity by more than five keystrokes to get a good signal the transducer should be mounted on the outside of the hull This is especially true if you have to turn sensitivity all the way up to get a decent bottom signal 4 Most people can get good results by following steps 1 through 3 so this step is optional If you want to make an extra effort to be absolutely sure that your selected location will work under all conditions make a test run with the boat on plane and observe the bottom signal You ll need to figure some way to prop the transducer into position while you make your test run A brick or two might be sufficient to hold it in place 5 When you re satisfied with a location mark it and proceed with the installation Shoot Thru
6. A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix Remember the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals Unlike radio or television signals GPS works at very high frequencies These signals can be easily blocked by trees buildings an automobile roof even your body Like most GPS receivers the unit doesn t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside It relies solely on the signals from the sat ellites to calculate a position Speed direction of travel and distance are all calculated from position information Therefore in order it to determine direction of travel you must be moving and the faster the better This is not to say that it won t work at walking or trolling speeds it will There will be more wandering of the data shown on the display GPS alone is accurate for route navigation but the U S Federal Avia tion Administration has special aircraft navigation needs that go be yond basic GPS So the FAA has developed a program to boost GPS performance with its Wide Area Augmentation System or WAAS The FAA commissioned the system on July 11 2003 WAAS is designed to increase GPS accuracy to within 7 6 meters verti cally and horizontally but it consistently delivers accuracies within 1 2 meters horizontal and 2 3 meters vertical according to the FAA It does 9 this by broadcasting correction signals on GPS frequencies Your unit automat

This causes the sonar to automatically increase its discrimination or noise rejection feature This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signals such as fish or even structure from the display Try using resis tor spark plugs or routing the sonar unit s power and transducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat No fish arches when the Fish I D feature is off 1 Make sure the transducer is pointing straight down This is the most common problem if a partial arch is displayed 2 The sensitivity may not be high enough In order for the unit to dis play a fish arch it has to be able to receive the fish s echo from the time it enters the cone until it leaves If the sensitivity is not high enough the unit shows the fish only when it is in the center of the cone 3 Use the Zoom feature It is much easier to display fish arches when zoomed in on a small range of water than a large one For example you will have much better luck seeing fish arches with a 30 to 60 foot range than a 0 to 60 foot range This enlarges the targets allowing the dis play to show much more detail 4 The boat must be moving at a slow trolling speed to see fish arches If the boat is motionless fish stay in the cone showing on the screen as straight horizontal lines NOISE A major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise This usually ap pears on the sonar s display as random patterns of dots or lines In se vere cases it can completely co
