Transducer Installation  
Some of the models covered by this manual have a transom-mount  
transducer included. The following are installation instructions for this  
transducer.  
The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps 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 in place without tools.  
Read this manual carefully before attempting the installation. Determine  
which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Use extreme care  
if mounting the transducer inside the hull, since once it is epoxied into  
position, the transducer usually cannot be removed. Remember, the  
transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation.  
Location - General  
1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of  
water at all times. If the transducer is to be mounted inside the hull,  
then the chosen location must be in the water at all times. If the  
transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference will  
show on the sonar’s display in the form of random lines or dots  
whenever the boat is moving.  
2. The transducer should be installed with it’s face pointing straight  
down, if possible.  
3. If the transducer is mounted on the transom, make certain it doesn’t  
interfere with the trailer or hauling of the boat. Also, don’t mount it  
closer than approximately one foot from the engine’s lower unit. This  
will prevent cavitation interference with the propeller. Typically, the  
transducer should be mounted as deep in the water as possible. This  
increases the chance that it will be in the water in high speed and  
reduces the possiblity of air bubble interference.  
4. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the  
boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps, and areators  
can be displayed on the sonar’s screen. Use caution when routing  
the transducer cable around these wires.

Shoot-thru-hull v.s. Transom Mounting  
(X-28 and X-38 Only)  
Typically, shoot-thru-hull installations give excellent high speed opera-  
tion and good to excellent depth capability. There is no possibility of  
damage from floating objects. It can't be knocked off when docking or  
loading on the trailer.  
However, the shoot-thru-hull installation does have its drawbacks. One,  
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 layup and construction. Two, the angle  
of the transducer cannot be adjusted for the best fish arches. This can  
be a problem on some hulls that sit with the bow high when at rest or at  
slow trolling speeds. Follow the procedure listed in the shoot-thru-hull  
installation section in this manual to determine if you can satisfactorily  
shoot through the hull.  
Transducer Assembly and Mounting - All Units  
The best way to install this transducer is to loosely assemble all of the  
parts first, place the transducer’s bracket against the transom and see if  
you can move the transducer so that it’s parallel with the ground.  
1. Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracket  
as shown below. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet.  
Place each ratchet into the bracket with the letter “A” aligned with the  
dot stamped into the metal bracket.This position sets the transducer’s  
coarse angle adjustment for a fourteen (14) degree transom. Most  
outboard and stern-drive transoms have a fourteen degree angle.

2. Slide the transducer between the two ratchets. Temporally slide the  
bolt though the transducer assembly and hold it against the transom.  
Looking 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. Place the ratch-  
ets into the holes in the bracket with the letter “B” aligned with the dot  
stamped in the bracket. Reassemble the transducer and bracket and  
place them against the transom. Again, check to see if you can move  
the transducer so it’s parallel with the ground. If you can, then go to  
step 3.If it doesn’t, repeat step 2, but use a different letter until you can  
place the transducer on the transom correctly.  
RATCHETS  
3. Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble  
the transducer as shown at left. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.

4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. The  
transducer should be roughly parallel to the ground.The bottom of the  
transducer bracket should be in line with the bottom of the hull. Don't  
let the bracket extend below the hull! Mark the center of the slots for  
the mounting holes. Drill two 5/32" holes in the marked locations for  
the #10 screws supplied with the transducer.

5. Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the  
cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown above. At-  
tach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or down  
until it’s aligned properly on the transom as shown above.Tighten the  
bracket’s mounting screws.Adjust the transducer so that it’s parallel to  
the ground and tighten the lock nut until it touches the flat washer, then  
add 1/4 turn. Don’t over tighten the lock nut! If you do, the transducer  
won’t “kick-up” if it strikes an object in the water.  
6. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Make certain to leave  
some slack inthe cable at the transducer as shown above. If possible,  
route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat.Electri-  
cal noise from the engine’s wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires and  
cables, and aerators can be picked up by the sonar.Use caution when  
routing the transducer cable around these wires.  
IMPORTANT!  
Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the transducer. This  
can prevent the transducer from entering the boat if it is knocked off at  
high speed.  
7. Make a test run to determine the results. If the bottom is lost at high  
speed, or if noise appears on the display, try sliding the transducer  
bracket down. This puts the transducer deeper into the water, hope-  
fully below the turbulence causing the noise. Don't allow the trans-  
ducer bracket to go below the bottom of the hull!

SHOOT-THRU-HULL  
(X-28 and X-38 Only)  
The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an area  
that does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglass  
layers. The sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. A success-  
ful transducer installation can be made on hulls with flotation materials  
(such as plywood, balsa wood, or foam) between layers of fiberglass if  
the material is removed from the chosen area. For example, some  
manufacturers use a layer of fiberglass, then a core of balsa wood,  
finishing with an outer layer of fiberglass. Removing the inner layer of  
fiberglass and the balsa wood core exposes the outer layer of fiberglass.  
The transducer can then be epoxied directly to the outer layer of fiber-  
glass. After the epoxy cures, the hull is watertight and structurally sound.  
Remember, the sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. Any air  
bubbles in the fiberglass or the epoxy will reduce or eliminate the sonar  
signals.  
To choose the proper location for thru-hull mounting, anchor the boat in  
60 feet of water. Add a little water to the sump of the boat. Plug the

transducer into the sonar unit, turn it on, then hold the transducer over  
the side of the boat. Adjust the sensitivity and range controls until a  
second bottom echo is seen on the display. (you will need to turn both  
automatic and ASP off.) Don’t touch the controls once they’ve been set.  
Next, take the transducer out of the water and place it in the water in the  
sump of the boat. Observe the sonar signal to see if there is a notice-  
able decrease in sensitivity. The second bottom signal may disappear  
and the bottom signal may decrease in intensity. Move the transducer  
around to find the best location. If the sensitivity control has to be  
increased greatly to compensate, then the transducer should be  
mounted on the outside of the hull. If not, then mark the location that  
shot through the hull the best and follow the instructions on the next  
pages for a shoot-thru-hull mounting.

(X-28 and X-38 Only)  
1. Make certain the area is clean, dry, and free of oil or grease, then  
sand both the inside surface of the hull and the face of the transducer  
with 100 grit sandpaper. The surface of the hull must be flat so the entire  
transducer face is in contact with the hull prior to bonding.  
SPREAD EPOXY HERE

2. Follow the instructions on the epoxy package and mix it thoroughly.  
Do not mix it too fast, as it will cause bubbles to form in the epoxy.  
(NOTE! Use only the epoxies specified on the inside front cover of this  
manual! Failure to use one of these epoxies may result in poor sonar  
performance!) Apply a small amount on the face of the transducer as  
shown above, then spread a small amount onto the sanded area on the

hull. Place the transducer into the epoxy, twisting and turning it to force  
any air bubbles out from under the transducer face. The face of the  
transducer should be parallel with the hull, with a minimum amount of  
epoxy between the hull and transducer. After the epoxy dries, route the  
cable to the sonar unit.  
Fish Arches  
If you do not get good fish arches on your display, it could be the  
transducer is not parallel with the ground when the boat is at rest in the  
water, or at slow trolling speeds. If the arch slopes up, but not back  
down, then the front of the transducer is too high and needs to be  
lowered. If only the back half the the arch is printed, then the nose of the  
transducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised.

Drill a hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The best  
location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket. This way,  
the bracket covers the hole. The smallest hole the power and transducer  
cable connectors can pass through is 5/8". After drilling the hole, pass the  
transducer connector up through the hole from under the dash. Pass the  
power cable down though the hole from the top. Slide the bracket over the  
hole, then route the cables out the slot in the back of the bracket. Finally,  
fasten the bracket to the dash.

RANGE - Upper and Lower Limits  
You can change the upper and lower range limits when the unit is in the  
manual mode. This lets you "zoom" in on segments of the water as small  
as 10 feet. In other words, you can set the upper limit to 25 feet and the  
lowerlimitto35feet,regardlessofthebottomdepth.Thisinessence,gives  
you a 10 foot zoom. You can choose any segment of the water, as long as  
the distance between the upper limit and lower limit is 10 feet (10 meters)  
or more.

SENSITIVITY  
The sensitivity menu lets you control the unit’s ability to pick up echoes. A  
low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals,  
and other detail. High sensitivity settings lets you see features, but it can  
also clutter the screen with noise and other unwanted signals. Typically,

GRAYLINE ®  
Grayline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It “paints”  
gray on targets that are stronger than a preset level. This shows the  
difference between a hard or soft bottom, large fish versus smaller ones,  
or rocks and brush on the bottom. For example, a soft, muddy, or weedy  
bottom returns a weaker signal which shows a narrow or no gray line. A  
hard bottom returns a strong signal that causes a wide gray line.  
If you have two targets of equal size, one with gray and the other without,  
the target with gray is the stronger echo. This helps distinguish fish from  
structure, or the larger fish from a smaller one.

Grayline ® is adjustable. Since it shows the  
differencebetweenstrongandweakechoes,  
changing the level may require a different  
sensitivity setting.  
To change the Grayline level, first press the  
MENU key until the Grayline menu appears.  
Now press the up arrow key to increase the  
level, the down arrow to decrease it. The  
percentage of Grayline now in use shows in  
this menu. Echoes scrolling onto the screen  
will also show the effects of the Grayline  
change. If you reach the maximum or minimum level, a tone sounds  
alerting you to the limits.  
The level chosen by the unit when it’s first turned on is usually adequate  
for most conditions. Experiment with your unit to find the Grayline setting  
that’s best.  
FISH ID FEATURE  
The Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish.  
The microcomputer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter,  
thermoclines,andotherundesirablesignals. Inmostinstances,remaining  
targets are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols on the screen in  
place of the actual fish echoes. There are three symbol sizes: small,  
medium,andlarge. Theseshowtherelativesizebetweentargets. Inother  
words, it displays a small fish symbol when it thinks a target is a small fish,  
a medium fish symbol on a larger target, etc.  
The microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can't distin-  
guish between fish and other suspended objects such as turtles, sub-  
merged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending outwards  
from a group of limbs are the hardest objects  
fortheFishIDfeaturetodistinguishfromfish.  
You may see Fish ID symbols on the screen  
when, in fact, there are no fish. Practice with  
the unit when the Fish ID feature is on and off  
to become more familiar with Fish ID. When  
the unit is first turned on, the Fish ID feature  
isautomaticallyturnedoff. Toturniton,press  
themenukeyuntiltheFishIDfeature’smenu

you turn the automatic feature off, the Fish ID feature will automatically be  
turned off, also.  
FISH TRACK™  
This unit automatically displays the depth of a target when the Fish ID  
feature places a fish symbol on the screen as shown below. This feature  
is automatically enabled when the sonar unit is turned on. To turn it off or

TROUBLESHOOTING - IMPORTANT INFORMATION!  
If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the  
following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer  
service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit.  
Unit won’t turn on:  
1. Check the power cable’s connection at the unit. Also check the wiring.  
2. Make certain the power cable is wired properly. The red wire connects  
to the positive battery terminal, black to negative or ground.  
3. Check the fuse.  
4. Measure the battery voltage at the unit’s power connector. It should be  
at least 11 volts. If it isn’t, the wiring to the unit is defective, the battery  
terminals or wiring on the terminals are corroded, or the battery needs  
charging.  
Unit freezes, locks up, or operates erratically:  
1. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor, trolling motor, or an accessory  
may be interfering with the sonar unit. Rerouting the power and  
transducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat may  
help. Route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery instead  
of through a fuse block or ignition switch  
2. Inspect the transducer cable for breaks, cuts, or pinched wires.  
3. Check the transducer and power connector. Make certain it's securely  
plugged in to the unit.  
Weak bottom echo, digital readings erratic, or no fish signals:  
1. Makecertaintransducerispointingstraightdown. Cleanthefaceofthe  
transducer. Oil, dirt, andfuelcancauseafilmtoformonthetransducer,  
reducing its effectiveness. If the transducer is mounted inside the hull,  
be sure it is shooting through only one layer of fiberglass and that it is  
securely bonded to the hull. Do NOT use RTV silicone rubber adhesive  
or MarinetexTM.  
2. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor can interfere with the sonar. 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.  
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,  
32

the digital will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far  
greater than the water you are in. If this happens, place the unit in the  
manual mode, then change the range to a realistic one, (for example, 0-  
100feet)andincreasethesensitivity. Asyoumoveintoshallowerwater,  
a bottom signal should appear.  
4. Check the battery voltage. If the voltage drops, the unit’s transmitter  
power also drops, reducing its ability to find the bottom or targets.  
Bottom echo disappears at high speeds or erratic digital reading or  
weak bottom echo while boat is moving  
1. The transducer may be in turbulent water. It must be mounted in a  
smoothflowofwaterinorderforthesonartoworkatallboatspeeds. Air  
bubbles in the water disrupt the sonar signals, interfering with its ability  
to find the bottom or other targets. The technical term for this is  
‘Cavitation’.  
2. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor can interfere with the sonar. 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 resistor spark  
plugsorroutingthesonarunit’spowerandtransducercablesawayfrom  
other electrical wiring on the boat.  
No fish arches when the Fish ID feature is off:  
1. Make certain transducer is pointing straight down. This is the most  
commonproblemifapartialarchisdisplayed. SeetheFishArchsection  
in your owner's manual for more information.  
2. The sensitivity may not be high enough. In order for the unit to display  
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 displays 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  
zoomedinonasmallrangeofwaterthanalargeone. Forexample, 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 display  
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 display as  
straight horizontal lines.

ELECTRICAL NOISE  
A major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise. This usually appears  
onthesonar’sdisplayasrandompatternsofdotsorlines. Inseverecases,  
it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unit  
operate erratically, or not at all.  
Toeliminateorminimizetheeffectsofelectricalnoise,firsttrytodetermine  
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. Make certain the engine is  
off, also. Turn the sonar unit on, then turn off ASP (Advanced Signal  
Processing). There should be a steady bottom signal on the display. Now  
turn on each piece of electrical equipment on the boat and view the effect  
on the sonar’s display.  
For example, turn on the bilge pump and view the sonar display for noise.  
If no noise is present, turn the pump off, then turn on the VHF radio and  
transmit. Keepdoingthisuntilallelectricalequipmenthasbeenturnedon,  
their effect on the sonar display noted, then turned off.  
If you find noise interference from an electrical instrument, trolling motor,  
pump,orradio,trytoisolatetheproblem. Youcanusuallyreroutethesonar  
unit’s power cable and transducer cable away from the wiring that is  
causing the interference. VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise when  
transmitting, sobecertaintokeepthesonar’swiresawayfromit. Youmay  
need to route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery to isolate  
it from other wiring on the boat.  
Ifnonoisedisplaysonthesonarunitfromelectricalequipment, thenmake  
certaineverythingexceptthesonarunitisturnedoff, thenstarttheengine.  
Increase the RPM with the gearshift in neutral. If noise appears on the  
display, the problem could be one of three things; spark plugs, alternator,  
or tachometer wiring. Try using resistor spark plugs, alternator filters, or  
routing the sonar unit’s power cable away from engine wiring. Again,  
routing the power cable directly to the battery helps eliminate noise  
problems. Make certain to use the in-line fuse supplied with the unit  
when wiring the power cable to the battery!  
When no noise appears on the sonar unit after all of the above tests, then  
the noise source is probably cavitation. Many novices or persons with  
limitedexperiencemakehastysonarinstallationswhichfunctionperfectly  
in shallow water, or when the boat is at rest. In nearly all cases, the cause  
of the malfunction will be the location and/or angle of the transducer. The  
face of the transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow  
of water at all boat speeds.
