Section 2: Installation

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. Determine the approximate location for the sonar/GPS unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the antenna, transducer and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the desired configuration. 2. Determine the approximate location for the transducer and its cable route. 3. Determine the approximate location for the GPS antenna module and its cable route. 4. Determine the location of your battery or other power connection, along with the power cable route. 5. Install the transducer and route the transducer cable to the sonar/GPS unit. 6. Install the GPS antenna and route the antenna cable to the sonar/GPS unit. 7. Install the power cable and route it to the sonar/GPS unit. 8. Mount the sonar/GPS unit to the bracket.

Transducer Installation

These instructions will help you install your Skimmer transducer on a transom, on a trolling motor or inside a hull. These instructions cover both single- and dual-frequency Skimmer transducers. Please read all instructions before proceeding with any installation. The smaller single-frequency Skimmers typically use a one-piece, stainless steel mounting bracket. The larger dual-frequency Skimmers typically use a two-piece, plastic mounting bracket. The trolling motor mount uses a one-piece plastic bracket with an adjustable strap. These are all "kick-up" mounting brackets. They help prevent damage if the transducer strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does "kick-up," the bracket can easily be pushed back into place without tools. 13
Read these instructions carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Remember, the transducer installation is the most critical part of a sonar installation. NOTE: The following installation types also call for these recommended tools and required supplies that you must provide (supplies listed here are not included):
Single-frequency transom installations
Tools include: two adjustable wrenches, drill, #29 (0.136") drill bit, flathead screwdriver. Supplies: high quality, marine grade above- or belowwaterline sealant/adhesive compound.
Dual-frequency transom installations
Tools: two adjustable wrenches, drill, #20 (0.161") drill bit, flat-head screwdriver. Supplies: four, 1" long, #12 stainless steel slotted wood screws, high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline sealant/adhesive compound.
Single-frequency trolling motor installations
Tools: two adjustable wrenches, flat-head screwdriver. Supplies: plastic cable ties.

Use this method if you are powering the display unit and a GPS module or the display unit and a NMEA 2000 network. (Fuses may be different from those shown.).
The network and any NMEA 2000 devices, including the GPS module, will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is connected to power. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected 32
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.)

NMEA 2000 Power Cable
Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device, including a GPS module. (Fuse may be different from that shown.)
The method in diagram B is also used when your display unit is connected to a NMEA 2000 network that is already connected to power. (Never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network.)
Powering a NMEA 2000 Network Bus
A NMEA 2000 bus must be connected to a power source to operate. NMEA 2000 devices, including GPS modules, draw their power from the network bus. If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 network installation, it may already be connected to another power source. If you are not sure about a network's power status, consult the boat manufacturer or dealer. If your NMEA 2000 bus is already powered, you can ignore the NMEA 2000 Power cable and use the method shown in Power Diagram B above. Never attach two power sources to a single NMEA 2000 bus.
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. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's black and shield wires should both be attached to the negative () terminal. WARNING: The NMEA 2000 network bus is always on and constantly drawing power. You must connect NMEA power to a switched power source so you can turn off the network when not in use. Failure to connect to and use a power switch will drain your boat battery, which could stop your boat's operation.

When it's set at the desired level, press EXIT.

Colorline

Colorline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It "paints" a brighter color on targets that are stronger than a preset value. This allows you to tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom. For example, a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is shown with a narrow, colored line (dark blue tinged with red or a little yellow.) Since fish are among the weakest echoes, they show up mostly as blue arches. A hard bottom or other relatively hard target returns a strong signal which causes a wider brightly colored line (reddish yellow to bright yellow.) If you have two signals of equal size, one with red to yellow color and the other without, then the target with brighter color (yellow) is the stronger signal. This helps distinguish weeds from trees on the bottom, or fish from structure. Colorline is adjustable. Experiment with your unit to find the ColorLine setting that's best for you.

Map Page opening screen (left). Set to 100-mile zoom (center) and 10mile zoom (right). Over Zoomed means you have reached the detail limits in an area covered only by the basic background map. Zooming in closer will reveal no more map detail because a high-detail custom map has not been loaded on the MMC for this area.
If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles. You can continue to zoom in closer, but the map will simply be enlarged without revealing more map content (except for a few major city streets.) Load your own high-detail custom map made with MapCreate (or a pre-made FreedomMap from LEI), and you can zoom in to 0.02 miles with massive amounts of accurate map detail.
Map Pages with high-detail MapCreate map of an urban area loaded on the MMC. Arterial streets appear at the 4-mile zoom range (left) with a few Point of Interest icons visible. Numerous dots representing Points of Interest are visible at the 2-mile range (center) along with minor streets. At a 0.4-mile zoom (right), you can see an interstate highway with an exit, major and minor streets as well as Point of Interest icons.
Background map vs. MapCreate map content The background map includes: low-detail maps of the whole world, containing cities, major lakes, major rivers, political boundaries, and medium-detail maps of the United States. The medium-detail U.S. maps contain: all incorporated cities, shaded metropolitan areas, county boundaries, shaded public lands (such as national forests and parks) 114
and some major city streets. Also included are Interstate, U.S. and state highways, large- and medium-sized lakes and streams and more than 60,000 navigation aids with 10,000 wrecks and obstructions in U.S. coastal and Great Lakes waters. New for 2007 are more than 3,000 enhanced lake maps that show better defined shorelines, depth contours and other underwater features. MapCreate custom maps include massive amounts of information not found in the background map. MapCreate contains: the searchable Points of Interest database, all the minor roads and streets, all the landmark features (such as summits, schools, radio towers, etc.); more rivers, streams, smaller lakes and ponds and their names. What's more important is the large scale map detail that allows your GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the background map would show you the general outline and approximate shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher detail in MapCreate shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail). Many smaller islands would not be included in the background map, but are in MapCreate. NOTE: Available through LEI Extras (look inside back cover for accessory ordering information), FreedomMaps are pre-made maps that contain all of the same information available in a custom MapCreate map, without any work on your part.

Section 8: System & GPS Setup Options
This unit has several GPS alarms. The factory default setting has all of these but the anchor alarm turned on. You can turn the alarms off and on and change their distance settings. You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warning message and sound a tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to.1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when you come within.1 mile of the recalled waypoint. The off course alarm warns you when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the waypoint. For example, if the alarm is set to.1 mile, then the alarm flashes a message if you drift.1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint. The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside of a preset radius. Again, using the.1 mile as an example, if you're anchored and your boat moves more than.1 of a mile, the alarm will flash a message and sound a tone.

IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES Anchor Alarm - The anchor alarm may be triggered even when you are sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than.05 mile) anchor alarm ranges. Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small number and you run a route (see the Navigate Routes segment), this unit may not show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first one. You may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.

Map Datum Selection

Maps and charts are based on a survey of an area covered by the map or chart. These surveys are called Datums. Maps using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in different locations. All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire world, or just a small portion of it. By default, your unit uses the WGS-84 datum. It, however, can show your position using any of 191 datums. Different datums can be selected. To change the datum: 1. Press MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT| to DATUM SELECTION|ENT. 2. Use to select the desired datum, then press ENT. 3. To return to the last page displayed, press EXIT|EXIT. A list of the datums used by this unit is in the back of this manual. 165

Map Orientation

By default, this receiver shows the map with north always at the top of the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on paper.
In Track Up mode, map shows "N" and arrow to indicate north.
Map page shown in North Up mode (left) Map page shown in Track Up mode (right).
This is fine if you are always traveling due north. What you see to your left corresponds to the left side of the map, to your right is shown on the right side of the map, and so on. However, if you travel any other direction, the map doesn't line up with your view of the world. To correct this problem, a track-up mode rotates the map as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen should always be to your left, and so on. Another option is course-up mode, which keeps the map at the same orientation as the initial bearing to the waypoint. When either the track-up or course-up mode is on, a "N" shows on the map screen to help you see which direction is north. To change map orientation: 1. From the Map Page, press MENU| to MAP ORIENTATION|ENT. 2. Use to select the desired mode, then press ENT. 3. Press EXIT|EXIT to return to the map page display.

WARNING: You should never format the MMC containing your Navionics chart. Formatting the MMC will permanently erase the chart from the card.
On any Page display except Satellite Status, you can overlay additional GPS or navigation data on the screen with the Overlay Data command. For example, if you left your watch at home, you could display the local time on top of the map. Or, if you wanted to see details about your route and trip, you could show your bearing, course, average speed and trip distance. The various data available from your unit are divided into categories in the Overlay Data menu. These categories include GPS Data, Navigation, Trip Calculator, Time, Sonar Data and Miscellaneous Data. You can select items from any of these categories for display, in any combination the category divisions are there only to help you sort through the information. 174
