12 Notes.
13 Section 2: Installation Preparations You can install the sonar and GPS sy stems in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1.
14 Read these instructions carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Re- member, the transducer installation is the most critical part of a sonar installation.
15 at speeds faster than 35 mph. Typically, a good transom location on aluminum boats is between the ribs closest to the engine. 3. The transducer should be installed with its face pointing straight down, if possible. For shoot-thru applications: Many popular fishing boat hulls have a flat keel pad that offers a good mounting surface.
16 How low should you go? For most situations, you should in stall your Skimmer transducer so that its centerline is level with the bottom of the boat hull. This will usually give you the best combination of smooth water flow and protection from bangs and bumps.
17 However, the shoot-thru-hull installation does have its drawbacks. First, some loss of sensitivity does occur, even on the best hulls. This varies from hull to hull, even from different installations on the same hull. This is caused by differences in hull lay-up and construction.
18 B. Two-piece bracket: Locate the four plastic ratchets in the trans- ducer's hardware package. Press two ra tchets into the sides of the plas- tic bracket and two on either side of the transducer as shown in the fol- lowing illustrations. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet.
19 hold it against the transom. Lookin g at the transducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust so that its face is parallel to the ground. If it does, then the "A" position is correct for your hull. If the transducer's face isn't parallel with the ground, remove the transducer and ratchets from the bracket.
20 Assemble transducer and bracket. 3. Assembling the transducer. A. One-piece bracket: Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the following fig- ure. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.
21 Position transducer mount on transom and mark mounting holes. Side view shown, left, and seen from above at right. 5. Attaching transducer to transom. A. One-piece bracket: Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown in the following figures.
22 Align transducer centerline with hull bottom and attach transducer to transom. Rear view of dual-frequency Skimmer shown. 6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. Make sure to leav e some slack in the cable at the transducer.
23 Trolling Motor Bracket Installation (single-frequency only) 1. Attach the optional TMB-S bracket to the transducer as shown in the following figure, using the hardware supplied with the transducer. (Note: The internal tooth washer is supplied with the TMB-S.
24 Transducer angles and their effects on fish arches. If the arch slopes up – but not back down – then the front of the trans- ducer is too high and needs to be lowered. If only the back half of the arch is printed, then the nose of th e transducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised.
25 WARNING: Do not remove any material from your inner hull unless you know the hull's composition. Careless grinding or cutting on your hull can result in damage that could sink your boat. Contact your boat dealer or manufac- turer to confirm your hull specifications.
26 To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.) 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water.
27 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.
28 WARNING: Use only the epoxy available from LEI. It has been for- mulated to work with these installation procedures. Other epoxy types may be too thin or may not cure to the right consistency for optimum transducer perform- ance. 2. The epoxy consists of the epoxy itself and a hardener.
29 First find a location on the boat's transom where the water flow is smoothest. Don't mount the sensor behind strakes or ribs. These will disturb the water flow to the speed sensor. Make sure the sensor will remain in the water when the boat is on plane.
30 CAUTION: If you drill a hole in the transom for the cable, make sure it is located above the waterline. After installation, be sure to seal the hole with the same marine grade above- or below-waterline seal- ant used for the screws. The sensor is now ready for use.
31 Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas- ier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends – either by capping them with wire nuts, wrapping them with electrical tape or both.
32 If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from electrical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The display power cable has three wires, white, red and black.
33 to power even if your only NMEA 2000 device is the GPS module and it is connected to the display unit's Network socket. (However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network. If you have a network that is already powered, see diagram B on page 33.
34 If you do need to power your NMEA 2000 bus, attach the NMEA 2000 Power cable to an accessory switch as indicated in power diagram A on page 32. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached (with provided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+) terminal.
35 To use the module in an automobile, you may achieve good results by simply placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. A piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material avail- able in recreational vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in place.

39 Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install your unit on the dash with the gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-A-M ® bracket mounting system.
40 Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope to- ward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power, transducer and antenna cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location.
41 After drilling the hole, pass the transducer connector up through the hole from under the dash, followe d by antenna connector. Pass the power cable's bare-wire end down though the hole from the top. If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good ma- rine caulking compound.
42 Portable Installation Like many Lowrance products, the unit is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power pack, a magnet- equipped antenna module and an optional portable transducer, ex- pands the uses for your sonar/GPS uni t.
43 Both of these solid-state flash memo ry devices are about the size of a postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC. As this manual went to press, MMCs were ava ilable in storage capacities of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB. SD cards were available with capacities of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB , 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB and 1 GB.
44 Other Accessories Cleaning Towel A lint-free microfiber towel is includ ed for cleaning the unit’s screen. The towel is highly effective in clea ring away water spots, smudges and finger prints. Just wipe the screen with the dry towel — it's not neces- sary to moisten the towel with water.
45 Now that you have your unit inst alled, move on to Section 3, Basic So- nar Operations . There, we'll present a series of step-by-step tutorials to teach you the basics of how to operate your sonar. NOTE: When you first turn the unit on, the Map Page appears.
46 Notes.
47 Section 3: Basic Sonar Operation This section addresses the unit's most basic sonar operations. Before you turn on the sonar unit, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the Main Menu, the four Page screens and how they all work to- gether.

96 Sonar Page, playing a recorded sona r chart in Sonar Simulator mode. Tip: The Sonar Simulator can use sonar charts that you or a friend have recorded (logged) on a MMC card. (To see how, read the entry in this section on Log Sonar Chart Da ta.) To play back your own sonar chart, make sure the MMC containing the chart is installed, then: 1.
97 Select Browse MMC Files from the Main Menu. NOTE: If you turn on your unit before attaching a transducer, it may enter a demo mode. The words "demo mode" flash on the bottom of the screen and a sonar chart plays much like the simulator.
98 Surface Clarity The markings extending downward fr om the zero line on the chart are called "surface clutter." These markings are caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversion and more. The surface clarity control reduces or eliminates surface clutter signals from the display.
99 In the illustration at left, Surface Clarity is turned off. The right view shows Surface Clarity set at High. Transparency Use the transparency menu to adjust the transparency of menu win- dows.
100 Upper and Lower Limits See the entry in this section for Depth Range - Upper and Lower Lim- its. Zoom & Zoom Bar "Zooming" the display is a common, fast and easy method used to en- large small detail, fish signals and the bottom with its associated struc- ture.
101 Section 5: Sonar Troubleshooting If your unit is not working, or if yo u need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section be fore contacting the customer ser- vice department. It may save you th e trouble of returning your unit for repair.
102 3. The water may be deeper than the sonar's ability to find the bottom. If the sonar can't find the bottom signal while it's in the automatic mode, the digital sonar display will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far greater than the water you are in.
103 In severe cases, it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unit to operate erratically, or not at all. To eliminate or minimize the effects of electrical noise, first try to de- termine the cause. With the boat at rest in the water, the first thing you should do is turn all electrical equipment on the boat off.
