Page 18: Mounting The Transducer
Mounting the transducer Transducer location selection and installation are two of the most critical steps in sonar installation. To function properly the transducer must be in the water at all times, and in a location that has a smooth fl ow of water while the boat is moving. Research Before starting the installation of the transducer, it’s advised to check the following:... -
Page 19: Attaching The Transducer
Note: Boats with strakes or ribs on the hull can create large amounts of turbulence at higher speeds. A good transducer location on these types of boats is between the ribs closest to the engine. Note: If the transducer is not placed in a smooth fl ow of water, interference caused by bubbles and turbulence may show on- screen in the form of random lines or dots. -
Page 20: Adjusting The Transducer
Secure the cable to the hull at regular intervals using cable P clips or saddles and ensure that moving parts such as an outboard motor or boarding ladder can’t snag the cable. Adjusting the transducer If the sonar image shows interference lines on the screen when moving, which worsen with speed, it may be possible to eliminate these by adjusting the transducer’s angle. -

Sidelobe suppression (Broadband radar only) Note: This control should only be adjusted by experienced radar users. Target loss in harbour environments may occur if this control is not adjusted correctly. Occasionally, false target returns can occur adjacent to strong target returns such as large boats or container ports. -
Page 41: Fuel Setup
Fuel setup The fuel utility monitors the vessel’s fuel consumption. This information is totalled to indicate trip and seasonal fuel usage. Instantaneous fuel usage and boat speed data is used to calculate fuel economy for display on instrument pages and data overlays. To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor or a NMEA 2000 engine adaptor cable/gateway with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must be fi tted to the vessel. - Page 42 ‘Unconfi gure’ is for defaulting the device clearing all user settings, and ‘Reset Fuel Flow’ will restore only the ‘Fuel K-Value’ setting, if set in ‘Calibrate’ . Only Navico devices can be reset. Calibrate While default calibration is usually accurate enough, it is possible to apply further calibration to accurately match measured fl ow with actual fuel fl ow.
