If the chosen area is void of Water should flow smoothly potential problems, sand the in this area and it should stay surface of the hull and the face of the transducer with in the water at all speeds. bait fish appear on the dial as thin, pale lines. If they are tightly schooled they may cover a depth of from five to ten feet on the dial with a few pale ofthe school. Your EAGLE will indicate even a single minnow 30 feet beneath the surface of the water. minnows at the bottom of a big fish offers a larger surface to reflect the signal than the back of a small 4 fish. Consequently, yop get a wider and brighter signal on the dial and, even though you can't tell the exact size of the fish from the signal, it does give you a good clue so that you can instantlytell big ones from little ones. Fig. The surface must be flat enough so the transducer to the hull, that the entire transducer trial runs are recommended face is in contact with the to find the best mounting lohull prior to bonding. Assume the top of the cliff is 15 feet beneath the surface of the water, and the bottom is 50 feet deep. Place the bracket againstthe transomin the selected area with the bottom of the transducer flush with the bottom of the hull. Alignthe transducer with the bottom of the boat the result, the signals on the dial will cover all the way down.

Thrning the knob clockwise will turn the unit on, and turning the knob back the When you are hunting fish, with the gain adjusted properly to return a clear, bright signal from a bottom of gravel, sand, or shell, you will sometimes see the signal disappear. This doesn't mean that you have suddenly come to extremely deep water -- the dial would have shown the drop-off with a wide band of signals in this case. The bottom signal may be faint from a bottom of decaying vegetation under deep water. Align the face of the transducer with the bottom of the hull with a straight edge. If it is too long, coil and store the excess in an out-of-the- way location. Some boat hulls require loweringthe back edge of the transducer 2° to 6°. If the run was satisfactory, drill two more holes in the bottom of the slots and install depth.
