1 Introduction
Congratulations on choosing a Navman
fish-finder. For maximum benefit, please read this
manual carefully before installation and use.
Important
It is vital to the performance of the fishfinder
that the transducer is installed in the best
location. Please follow the installation
instructions very carefully.
This manual describes how to install and set
up the FISH 4432/4433 and the associated
dual-frequency transom transducer. (If a through
hull transducer is used, refer to the Installation
Instructions supplied with that transducer.)
This manual also explains how to operate
the FISH 4432/4433 effectively and provides
troubleshooting information and performance tips.
1-1 Benefits of the FISH 4432/4433
The FISH 4432/4433 is a high quality, dual-
frequency sonar fishfinder that is supplied
with a dual-frequency transducer. It uses a 16
level greyscale FSTN display for easy daylight
viewing that can be dimmed for night fishing.
The bracket mounting option also allows
the fishfinder to be tilted and swivelled for
optimum viewing.
help identify the depth contours marked on
charts. The FISH 4432/4433 is particularly suited
to work with the TRACKER 5430/5380.
The two instruments can be connected
together using either NavBus or NMEA, so they
can share data. (only applies to FISH 4433)
IMPORTANT NOTE ON USE. While any
fishfinder can be used as an aid to navigation,
accuracy can be limited by many factors,
including the location of the transducer. It is
the user’s responsibility to ensure the Navman
fishfinder is installed and used correctly.
The dual frequency capability enables the
FISH 4432/4433 to operate and display:
•
•
•
At a high frequency of 200 kHz.
At a low frequency of 83 kHz.
With the optional fuel kit, the FISH 4433 also
becomes a sophisticated and easy-to-use
fuel computer.
Both frequencies side-by-side on a split
display.
•
Both frequencies combined together into a
single display.
All of the Navman 4000 Series fishfinders use
new proprietary SBN-II Technology for sonar
processing to improve Signal enhancement,
Bottom recognition and Noise rejection.
This capability, combined with a variable power
output of up to 250 watts, ensures that the FISH
4432/4433 operates effectively in shallow and
deep water.
SBN-II Technology uses digital adaptive filter
algorithms to enhance all returned signals. At
the same time, SBN-II Technology uses active
noise control to reject interference, which
can often be mistaken by fishfinders for true
returns.
The FISH 4432/4433 can detect the bottom to
a depth of 750 feet (230 metres) depending
on the clarity of the water, the ultrasonic
frequency chosen and the type of transducer
used.
Using SBN-II Technology, the Navman
The Navman fishfinder can be used to find
fish, to locate features on the bottom such as
reefs or wrecks and to help recognize favourite
fishing spots from the bottom profile.
fishfinder analyses the reflections from each
pulse, filters false returns and displays what is
in the water under the boat. See section 4-1
Interpreting the display, for more information.
The Navman fishfinder can also assist with
navigation by providing depth information to

1-2 How the FISH 4432/4433 works
The FISH 4432/4433 has two parts:
- the transducer attached to the hull
- the display unit.
line of pixels. The most recent echo appears
on the extreme right of the display, with the
older echoes being scrolled towards the left,
eventually disappearing off the display.
The transducer generates an ultrasonic pulse
(sound that is above the hearing range of
the human ear), which travels down towards
the bottom at a speed of about 4800 ft/sec
(1463 m/sec), spreading out into a cone shape.
The scroll speed depends upon the water
depth and scroll speed setting. See section 3-2
Setup > Sonar and section 4-1 Interpreting the
display, for more information.
The appearance of echoes displayed are
affected by:
When the pulse meets an object, such as a
fish or the bottom, it is partly reflected back
up towards the boat as an echo. The depth
of the object or bottom is calculated by the
FISH 4432/4433 by measuring the time taken
between sending a pulse and receiving the
echo. When an echo has been returned, the
next pulse is sent.

Temperature
The factory settings should be sufficiently
accurate for normal usage. To calibrate the
temperature readout, first measure the water
temperature with a thermometer known to
be accurate.
3. Run the engine at normal cruising speed
until at least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel has
been used per engine.
4. Check the actual amount of fuel used per

Warning:
Keel offset
Keel offset is a depth correction representing
the vertical distance between the depth
transducer and the location from which the
depth is to be measured.
Extreme precautions must be
observed when carrying out this
procedure.
Failure to do so could create
hazardous conditions that can
cause serious personal or
property damage.
Enter a positive keel offset value when the
transducer is located below the water surface
but the total depth is required.
Calibrating the fuel usage can improve the
accuracy of fuel measurements.
Enter a negative keel offset value when the
depth below the deepest part of the boat is
required (such as the keel, the rudder or the
propeller) and the transducer is located closer
to the water surface.
Twin engine installations require each fuel
transducer to be calibrated. This can be done
at the same time with two portable tanks or at
different times using one portable tank.
Use the cursor keys to select Keel offset,
then press to display the Keel offset box.
Calibrating the fuel transducer(s) requires
accurate measurement of the fuel
consumption. This is best done using a small
portable tank. At least 4 gallons (15 litres) of
fuel should be used to ensure an accurate
calibration.
Use the or cursor keys to adjust the value.

4 Using the FISH 4432/4433
This section explains how to interpret the sonar
displays, when and why to use the different
frequencies and how fish are detected
and displayed.
It also describes Gain and Range and shows
examples of some of the different sonar
displays. Also see section 1-2 How the FISH
4432/4433 works.
4-1 Interpreting the display
The sonar displays do not show a fixed distance
travelled by the boat; rather, they display a
history, showing what has passed below the
boat during a certain period of time.
Strength of echoes
The colors indicate differences in the strength
of the echo. The strength varies with several
factors, such as the:
The history of the sonar signal displayed
depends on the depth of the water and the
scroll speed setting.
•
•
•
Size of the fish, school of fish or other object.
Depth of the fish or object.
Location of the fish or object. (The area
covered by the ultrasonic pulse is a rough
cone shape and the echoes are strongest in
the middle.)
In shallow water, the echoes have a short
distance to travel between the bottom and the
boat. In deep water, the history moves across
the display more slowly because the echoes
take longer to travel between the bottom and
the boat. For example, when the scroll speed is
set to Fast, at depths over 600ft it takes about
2.5 minutes for each vertical line of pixels to
move across the display, whereas at 20ft it
takes only about 4-5 seconds.
•
•
Clarity of water. Particles or air in the water
reduce the strength of the echo.
Composition or density of the object or
bottom.
Note: Planing hulls at speed produce air bubbles
and turbulent water that bombard the transducer.
The resulting ultrasonic noise may be picked up by
the transducer and obscure the real echoes.
The scroll speed can be set by the user to
display either a longer history with less fish
information or a shorter history with more fish
details. See section 3-2 Setup > Sonar.
If the boat is anchored, the echoes all come
from the same area of bottom. This produces a
flat bottom trace on the display.

weed and
sand show

Bottom types
Mud, weed and sandy bottoms tend to weaken
and scatter the sonar pulse, resulting in a weak

The pulse generated by the FISH 4432/4433
transducer travels down through the water,
spreading outwards to form a rough cone shape.
However, the cone width is dependent upon
the frequency of the pulse; at 83 kHz it is 20°,
whereas at 200 kHz it is 14°. The chart shows
how the cone width varies over depth for each

The differences in the cone width affect what is displayed. See section 4-2 Single and Dual Frequency fishfinding.
Shadows
Shadows are created around areas where the ultrasonic beam cannot ‘see’. These areas include
hollows on the bottom or beside rocks and ledges, where the strong echoes returned off the rocks
obscure the weak echoes of the fish and may also create a double bottom trace. See following for
an example of the sonar display in such an environment. A double bottom trace is shown on the
display.
When looking for fish with the wide angled 83 kHz frequency, be aware of increased shadows. Use
the high frequency 200 kHz in areas that have rocks and ledges because this frequency reduces the
shadow effect considerably.

4-3 Fish detection and display
Where to find fish
Fish symbols Off
Underwater features like reefs, wrecks and
rocky outcrops attract fish. Use the 83/200
kHz frequency display to find these features,
then look for fish by passing over the feature
slowly several times using the Zoom display
(see section 5-2 Sonar Zoom display). If there
is a current, the fish will often be found
downstream of the feature.
For experienced users this always provides the
best information as every echo is displayed,
whether it is surface clutter, a thermocline or
a fish.
The picture in section 4-1 Interpreting the
display, shows the Sonar display with the Fish
symbols Off. The fish appear as arches.
Fish arches
When fishing with the FISH 4432/4433 with
the Fish symbols Off, a weak fuzzy band
may appear between the bottom trace and
surface. This might indicate a thermocline - a
rapid change in water temperature, such as the
edge of a warm or cold current. The temperature
difference can form a barrier which the fish may
not swim through. In fresh water, fish often
collect around a thermocline.
In good conditions and with Fish symbols
Off, a fish passing through the cone-shaped
ultrasonic pulse is displayed as a fish arch. The
83 kHz frequency uses a wider cone than the
200 kHz frequency. This makes the fish arches
easier to see.
A fish arch occurs when a fish enters the weak
edge of the sonar cone, generating a weak
echo that is displayed as the first pixel of
the fish arch. As the fish moves closer to the
middle of the cone, the distance between the
transducer and the fish reduces and the echo
is displayed at progressively shallower depths,
producing the start of an arch. When the fish
passes directly beneath the middle of the cone,
the echo becomes strongest and thickest. As
the fish passes out of the middle of the cone
the reverse happens with a progressively
weaker and deeper echo.
Fish symbols
The fish symbol can be customized or switched off
altogether so that the echoes are not converted to
fish symbols on the display. See section 3-2 Setup
> Sonar. The differences between Fish symbol On
and Off are:
Fish symbols On
Using Navman’s SBN-II sonar technology the
fishfinder analyses all echoes and eliminates most
false signals and clutter so that remaining targets
are most likely fish. Depending on the strength
of the remaining echoes, they are displayed as
either small, medium or large fish symbols - with
or without depth. While the SBN-II processing is
very sophisticated it is not foolproof - there will
be times when
the fishfinder
will not be able
to differentiate
between large air
There are many reasons why fish arches may
not be seen. For example:
•
Poor transducer installation (see Transom
Transducers Installation Guide).
•
If the boat is anchored then fish will tend
to show on the display as horizontal lines
as they swim into and out of the transducer
sonar beam. Slow speeds in deeper water
give the best fish arch returns.
bubbles, rubbish
containing air,
fishing floats etc.
and genuine fish.
•
Range is important. It will be much easier
to see fish arches when using zoom mode
to concentrate on a particular section
of water, rather than just displaying
everything from the surface to the bottom.
Zooming increases screen resolution and is
necessary for good fish arches.

•
It is difficult to get fish arches in shallow water as the transducer sonar beam is very narrow near
the surface and fish do not stay within the beam long enough to display an arch. Several fish in
shallow water tend to display as randomly stacked blocks of pixels.
•
Wave motion may result in distorted fish arches
4-4 Gain
Gain (sensitivity) controls the amount of
detail displayed on the FISH 4432/4433.
Understanding how to set suitable
Gain settings is important for optimum
performance.
The Navman fishfinder has three gain modes,
Cruising, Fishing and Manual.
•
•
•
Cruising Mode
Use this mode to show only the bottom and
large fish.
Note: The Gain mode automatically changes to
Manual Gain if the gain or threshold settings are
adjusted by the user.
Fishing Mode
Use this mode to show as much detail as
possible.
Obtaining the best results
To obtain the best detection capability for both
fish and bottom we recommend the use of the
Sonar A-Scope display:
Manual Mode
The gain can be adjusted by the user to
compensate for water depth and clarity.
1. Set the threshold to 0%.
2. Adjust the gain until the threshold line is
just to the right of the unwanted noise.
High Gain settings may amplify the normal
background noise until it appears as random
pixels.

4-5 Range
Range is the vertical depth displayed on the
FISH 4432/4433.
Zoom Range and Zoom Offset
On the Sonar Zoom and Sonar Bottom displays,
a vertical bar is shown on the far right of the
display. This is the zoom bar. The zoom bar
shows the zoom range; that is, the area that
is magnified.
The Navman fishfinder has two range modes,
Auto Range and Manual Range:
•
In Auto Range, the fishfinder adjusts
the depth range automatically so the
bottom is always shown in the lower part
of the display. The use of Auto Range is
recommended for normal conditions.
Use the or cursor keys to adjust the
zoom range.
Use the or cursor keys to adjust the
zoom offset.
•
In Manual Range, the fishfinder shows only
a selected depth range. In areas of rapidly
changing bottom depth, such as the sea
floor around pinnacles, it can be useful
to prevent the display from rescaling to
always show the bottom. If the bottom is
deeper than the specified depth range, it
will not be shown on the display.
Changing the Range Mode
Press the + or - key to change to Manual Range
mode and to increase or decrease the range to
the desired depth. Values can be set between
10 ft. (3 m) to 1000 ft. (300 m).
To change from the current mode:
1. From any Sonar display, press MENU to
display the Options menu.
2. Highlight Range, then use the cursor keys
to select Autoor Manual.
3. Press ENT to confirm.
Tip: To quickly enlarge from manual to auto-
range hold down + or - key for 1.5 seconds.

Fish recognition
The echo strengths shown on the A-scope
can be useful in recognising the type of fish.
Different species of fish have different sizes
and shapes of swim bladders. The air in the
swim bladder reflects the ultrasonic pulse, so
the strength of the echo varies between fish
species according to the size and shape of the
swim bladder.
When fishing among a school of fish and
catching them, note the fish species and the
strength of the echo that it returns on the
A-scope. Then, when that particular echo is
seen at future times on the fishfinder, it is likely
to be the same fish species.

The strength of echoes on this view are
determined by the’height’ of the echo shown

Economyis the distance travelled per unit of
fuel used. The Fishfinder calculates this using
the fuel used and boat speed (water speed or
GPS speed - which ever is selected as the speed
source – see section 3-3 Setup > Fuel).
The bigger this number, the better the fuel
economy. Adjust the throttle and trim to
achieve the best fuel economy.

6-3 Mounting and removing the display unit
There are two mounting arrangements:
Select a position where the display unit will be:
•
Flush mounting requires a solid panel with
access behind for wiring and mounting
screws. After flush mounting, the FISH
4432/4433 cannot be tilted or moved after
installation to reduce any unwanted glare
or reflections. Carefully select the best
viewing position before installation. This
would generally be in a shaded area.
•
•
At least 4” (100 mm) away from the compass.
At least 12” (300 mm) away from any radio
transmitter.
•
•
At least 4 ft. (1.2 m) away from any antenna.
Easy to read by the helmsman and crew while
underway.
•
Protected from physical damage during
rough sea passages.
•
Bracket mounting requires a panel for
mounting the bracket. Ensure that the
panel is not likely to deform and is not
subject to excessive vibration. The bracket
can be tilted and rotated and the FISH
4432/4433 can be removed after each use.
•
•
Easy to access the 12VDCpower source.
Convenient to route the transducer cables.

Flush Mounting
1. Cut a hole in the bulkhead for the display
unit using the flush mount template.
Removing the display unit
The display unit can be removed after each
use for protection against the environment or
security reasons.
2. Drill four holes for the mounting studs
using the flush mount template.
When removing the display unit, ensure that
the plugs left in the boat are not exposed to
the elements. Push the attached dust covers
over the exposed ends of the plugs. Keep the
display unit in a dry clean place such as an
optional Navman carry bag.
3. Screw the four studs into the brass inserts
in the back of the display unit.
4. Sit the display unit in place and fit the
washers and nuts to the studs.
Bracket Mounting
1. Fix the mounting bracket onto the boat
using the three stainless steel screws. Do not
overtighten the screws, as the bracket may
not rotate.
2. Push the display unit onto the mounting
bracket and tighten it firmly using the knob
on the mounting bracket.
3. Attach the cables.
6-4 Systems of several instruments (4433 0nly)
Several Navman instruments can be connected
together to share data.
it will automatically change for the other
instruments in that group. However, the
backlight setting will not change for
instruments in different groups.
The FISH 4432/4433 is particularly suited
to work with the TRACKER 5430 (4.3”
greyscale)/5380 (3.8” color) - Navman’s GPS
chartplotters with worldwide coverage.
•
If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing the
alarm on any instrument which can display
that alarm.
There are two ways of connecting instruments
together; NavBus or NMEA.
NMEA
NMEA is an industry standard for marine
instrument connections. Data sent by one
instrument over an NMEA line can be read and
displayed by another instrument that accepts
NMEA 0183 Version 2. It is not as flexible as
NavBus as it requires dedicated connections
between instruments.
NavBus
NavBus is a Navman proprietary system that
allows systems of multiple instruments to be
built using a single set of transducers. When
instruments are connected by NavBus:
•
If the units, alarms or calibration are
changed in one instrument, then the values
will automatically change in all instruments
of the same type.
Please contact your Navman dealer for
information on Navman’s full range of NMEA
enabled instruments and connection options.
•
Each instrument can be assigned to
a group of instruments. Then, if the
backlight setting is changed in one group,

6-5 Cleaning and maintenance
To avoid damage, clean the screen only with
a damp cloth and mild detergent when dirty
or covered in sea salt. Avoid abrasive cleaners,
petrol or other solvents.
To optimize performance, avoid walking on
or jamming cables and connectors. Keep the
transducer free of weed, paint and debris. Do
not use a high pressure water blast on a speed
sensor paddlewheel as it may damage the
bearings.
Cover or remove a transom-mounted
transducer when repainting the hull. If painting
over a through hull transducer with antifouling
paint, use only one coat of paint. Remove the
previous coat of antifouling paint by sanding
it lightly.
When not in use, the FISH 4432/4433 can be
removed from the installation bracket and
stored in the Navman carry bag, or left on the
installation bracket and securely covered with
the sun cover supplied.

Appendix B - Dimensions
Appendix C - Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is written with
the assumption that the user has read and
understood the relevant sections in this
manual.
The collar must be secure for watertight
connection.
c) Measure the battery voltage while the
battery is under load - turn on some
lights, radio or other electrical equipment
connected to the battery. If the voltage is
less than 10 volts:
It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties
without having to send the display unit back to
the manufacturer for repair. Please follow this
troubleshooting section before contacting the
nearest Navman dealer.
-
the battery terminals or wiring on the
terminals may be corroded.
There are no user serviceable parts. Specialized
methods and testing equipment are required
to ensure that the display unit is reassembled
correctly and is waterproof. Users who service
the product themselves will void the warranty.
-
the battery may not be charging
correctly or may need replacing.
d) Inspect the power cable from end to end
for damage such as cuts, breaks, squashed
or trapped sections.
Repairs to the product may only be carried out
by a service centre approved by Navman. If the
product must be sent into a service centre for
repair, it is essential to send in the transducer(s)
at the same time.
e) Ensure that the red wire is connected to the
positive battery terminal and the black wire
to the negative battery terminal. If wired for
the Auto Power option, ensure the yellow
wire is connected to the ignition circuit.
Also check the boat’s main switch circuit
(see section 6-5 Wiring options).
More information can be found on our Website:
1. The fishfinder won’t turn on:
f) Check for corrosion on the power cable
connector and clean or replace if required.
a) The FISH 4432/4433 is designed to operate
on a 12 volt battery system, where the
voltage may vary from 10 to 16 volts. If an
excessive voltage is supplied, the unit will
turn off/not start.
g) Check fuses that are placed in line with the
power cable. A fuse can be blown despite
appearing to be good or the fuse may be
corroded. Test the fuse or replace it with a
fuse known to be good.
b) Check that the power cable connector
at the back of the display unit is securely
plugged in and the collar is locked in place.

2. The fishfinder won’t turn off:
from the display. This may be checked
by switching off other instruments,
accessories (e.g. bilge pump) and the motor
until the offending device is located. To
stop problems from electrical noise, try:
The fishfinder may have been wired for
Auto power. In this case, the fishfinder
cannot be turned off while the ignition
power is on. (See Auto power wiring in
section 6-5 Wiring options.)
-
re-routing the power and transducer
cable(s) away from the boat’s other
electrical wiring.
3. The fishfinder operates erratically:
a) Check that the transducer does not have
debris (e.g. weed, plastic bag) caught
around it.
-
routing the display unit’s power cable
directly to the battery with an in-line
fuse.
b) The transducer may have been damaged
during launching, running aground or while
underway with debris etc. If the transducer
has been impacted, it may have been kicked
up on the bracket. If it is not physically
damaged, reset the transducer back to
its original position. (See the Transom
Transducer Installation Guide.)
4. Bottom is not displayed:
a) The fishfinder may have Manual Range
selected and the depth may be outside the
range value selected. Either change the
fishfinder to Auto Range or select another
depth range (see section 4-5 Range).
b) The depth may be outside the fishfinder’s
range. While in Auto Range, the display unit
will display “--.-” to indicate that there is no
bottom detected. A display of the bottom
should reappear when in shallower water.
c) When the transducer is less that 2 ft. (0.6 m)
from the bottom, the depth readings may
become inconsistent and erratic.
d) Manual Gain may be set too low, which may
cause weak bottom echo or no fish signals. If
in Manual Gain, try increasing the Gain.
5. The bottom is displayed too far up
the screen:
e) Ensure the back of the bottom surface of
the transducer is slightly lower than the
front and the front is as deep in the water as
possible in order to minimize the generation
of bubbles through cavitation. (See the
Transom Transducers Installation Guide.)
The fishfinder may have Manual Range
selected and the selected Range value is
too high for the depth. Either change the
fishfinder to Auto Range or select another
depth range (see section 4-5 Range).
6. Bottom echo disappears or erratic
digital reading while the boat is moving:
f) Check the transducer and power cable
connectors at the back of the display unit
are securely plugged in and the collars are
locked in place. The collars must be secure
for watertight connection.
a) Ensure the back of the bottom surface
of the transducer is slightly lower than
the front and the front is as deep in the
water as possible in order to minimise the
generation of bubbles through cavitation.
(See the Transom Transducers Installation
Guide, for more information.)
g) Inspect the power cable from end to end
for damage such as cuts, breaks, squashed
or trapped sections.
h) Ensure there is not another fishfinder
or depth sounder turned on, which may
interfere with this fishfinder.
b) The transducer may be in turbulent water.
Air bubbles in the water disrupt the echoes
returned, interfering with the fishfinder’s
ability to find the bottom or other targets.
This often happens when the boat is
i) Electrical noise from the boat’s engine
or an accessory may be interfering with
the transducer(s) and/or the Navman
fishfinder. This may cause the fishfinder
to automatically decrease the Gain unless
using Manual Gain.
reversed. The transducer must be mounted
in a smooth flow of water in order for the
fishfinder to work at all boat speeds.
c) Electrical noise from the boat’s motor can
interfere with the fishfinder. Try some
suppression spark plugs.
The fishfinder thus eliminates weaker
signals such as fish or even the bottom

7. If the fishfinder beeps when turned on
but nothing is displayed:
and the fuel tank must be installed as per
the fuel installation guide. Failure to do so
will void the warranty.
The fishfinder may be operating, but the
backlight settings may have been set
too low. See section 2 Basic Operation,
to adjust the fishfinder backlight. Press
twice to restore default backlight settings.
d) Inspect the fuel cable from end to end for
damage such as cuts, breaks, trapped or
squashed sections.
e) Check that the fuel filter is clean.
8. The wrong language is displayed:
See section 3-1 Setup > System.
11. A twin engine installation shows only
one flow rate:
9. Fuel used or remaining seem inaccurate:
a) Check that the number of engines is set to
2. See section 3-3 Setup > Fuel.
a) If the engine is run while the fishfinder is
powered off, the fishfinder does not record
the amount of fuel used during that engine
run. Consequently, the Fuel remaining
value will be higher than the actual amount
of fuel remaining in the tank.
12. Erratic Fuel Flow readings:
a) The fuel flow transducer may have been
mounted too close to the fuel pump or may
be subject to excessive vibration. Refer to
the installation instructions supplied with
the fuel transducer.
To avoid this problem, use the Auto
Power Wiring option described in section
6-5 Wiring options. This ensures that
the fishfinder powers on automatically
whenever the boat’s ignition is switched on.
b) Check for leaks in the fuel line or in the fuel
pickup in the tank.
c) The Flow filtervalue is not suitable for
the engine. Check that the value is not set
to zero, then try increasing the value until
a steady flow rate is shown. See section 3-3
Setup > Fuel.
b) In rough seas, fuel may surge back and
forth through the fuel transducer, resulting
in incorrect readings. Try installing a
one-way valve between the fuel transducer
and the fuel tank.
d) A higher fuel Flow filtersetting be
used on EFI (fuel injected) engines. See
section 3-3 Setup > Fuel.
c) The Set remainingfuel value must be
reset after every refuelling (see section 3-3
Setup > Fuel).
13. There is no reading for fuel economy:
d) The fuel tank may not refill to the same
capacity each time due to air pockets.
This is particularly noticable with
underfloor tanks.
a) The boat must be travelling through the
water to generate an Economyreading.
b) Check that the paddlewheel on the
transducer is spinning freely and that the
two magnets in the paddlewheel are still
in place.
e) Fuel transducers wear out over time and
should be replaced after every 5000 litres
of fuel.
14. There is a double bottom trace
displayed:
10. Flow indicates no fuel or low fuel:
a) Check that the number of engines is set to
1. See section 3-3 Setup > Fuel.
a) The boat may be in an area that generates
shadows. See section 4-1 Interpreting the
display.
b) Check that the fuel cable connectors are
securely plugged in and the collar is locked
in place. The collar must be locked in place
to give a watertight connection.
b) In shallow water, the echoes may bounce.
Reduce the gain setting (see section 4-4
Gain) and/or reduce the sonar pulse power
(see section 3-2 Setup > Sonar).
c) A fuel transducer may be clogged. If so,
remove the transducer from the fuel line
and gently blow through it in the opposite
direction to the fuel flow.
c) Decrease the Range.
15. No Sonar Display
Sonar is turned off. See Section 3-1
System > Setup.
