Introduction

Thank you for buying an Eagle® sonar! Your unit is a high-quality so-

nar designed for both professional and novice fishermen. All Eagle so-

nars have an automatic mode that finds and displays the bottom, fish,

underwater structure and more – right out of the box. All you have to

do is press the on (PWR) key.

To get started with your Eagle sonar, first read the installation section.

It contains instructions for mounting the sonar unit, the transducer

and any optional accessories, such as a speed sensor.

Following recommended installation practices will pay off in optimum

performance of your Eagle sonar. Improper installation can cause prob-

lems down the road, especially if the transducer is badly mounted.

After you've read the installation instructions, install the unit and ac-

cessories. Then, read the rest of the manual. The more you know about

your sonar, the better it will work for you.

How Sonar Works

Sonar has been around since the 1940s, so if you already know how it

works, skip ahead to the next segment on the typographical conventions

used in this manual. But, if you've never owned a sonar fish finder, this

segment will tell you the underwater basics.

Sonar is an abbreviation for SOund NAvigation and Ranging, a technol-

ogy developed during World War II for tracking enemy submarines. A

sonar consists of a transmitter, transducer, receiver and display. In

simple terms, here's how it finds the bottom, or the fish:

The transmitter emits an electrical impulse, which the transducer con-

verts into a sound wave and sends into the water. (The sound frequency

can't be heard by humans or fish.) The sound wave strikes an object

(fish, structure, bottom) and bounces back to the transducer, which

converts the sound back into an electrical signal.

The receiver amplifies this return signal, or echo, and sends it to the

display, where an image of the object appears on the scrolling sonar

chart. The sonar's microprocessor calculates the time lapse between the

transmitted signal and echo return to determine the distance to the

object. The whole process repeats itself several times each second.

Dual Search Transducer

Your unit is packed with a Dual Search Skimmer Transducer that can

transmit at 83 kHz and 200 kHz.

3. Determine the location of your battery or other power connection,

along with the power cable route.

4. Install the transducer and route the transducer cable to the sonar

unit.

5. Route the power cable from the unit's location to an appropriate

power source and connect it there.

6. Connect the transducer/power cable to the unit and mount the sonar

unit on the bracket.

Installation

These instructions will help you install your Skimmer® transducer on a

transom, on a trolling motor or inside a hull. Please read all instructions

before proceeding with any installation. Your Skimmer transducer typi-

cally comes packaged with a one-piece stainless steel bracket for mount-

ing it to the transom of your boat. 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 trans-

ducer does "kick-up," the bracket can easily be pushed back into place

without tools.

Depending on your sonar unit's connectors, your transducer cable may

also have the sonar unit's power cable attached to it. If that is the case,

be sure to install the transducer first, before connecting the power cable

to a power source. See the instructions later in this manual for connect-

ing the power cable to a battery or other power supply.

Read these instructions 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, because once

it is epoxied into position, the transducer usually cannot be removed.

Remember, the transducer installation is the most critical part

of a sonar installation.

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. On vee

hulls, try to place the transducer where the deadrise is 10° or less.

Vee pad hull (left); Vee hull (right). A pod style transducer is shown

here, but the principle is the same for Skimmers inside a hull.

4. If the transducer is mounted on the transom, make sure 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 (bubble) interference with propeller operation.

5. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the

boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps and aerators can

be displayed on the sonar's screen. Use caution when routing the trans-

ducer cable around these wires.

Deadrise less than 10°

Pad Strakes

to loosen the screws and slide the transducer up or down.) If you fre-

quently lose bottom signal lock while running at high speed, the trans-

ducer may be coming out of the water as you cross waves or wakes.

Move the transducer a little lower to help prevent this.

If you cruise or fish around lots of structure and cover, your transducer

may be frequently kicking up from object strikes. If you wish, you may

move the transducer a little higher for more protection.

There are two extremes you should avoid. Never let the edge of the

mounting bracket extend below the bottom of the hull. Never let the

bottom – the face – of the transducer rise above the bottom of the hull.

Shoot-Thru-Hull vs. Transom Mounting

In a shoot-thru-hull installation, the transducer is bonded to the inside

of the hull with epoxy. The sonar "ping" signal actually passes through

the hull and into the water. This differs from a bolt-thru-hull installa-

tion (often called "thru-hull"). In that case, a hole is cut in the hull and a

specially designed transducer is mounted through the hull with a

threaded shaft and nut. This puts the transducer in direct contact with

the water.

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.

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.

Second, the transducer angle cannot be adjusted for the best fish

arches. This can be a problem on hulls that sit with the bow high when

at rest or at slow trolling speeds.

Third, a transducer CAN NOT shoot through wood and metal hulls.

Those hulls require either a transom mount or a thru-hull installation.

Fourth, a Skimmer transducer with a built-in temp sensor will show

only the temperature of the bilge, not the water surface temp.

Follow the procedure listed in the shoot-thru-hull installation section

at the end of this lesson to determine if you can satisfactorily shoot

through the hull.

Transom Transducer Assembly and Mounting

The best way to install these transducers 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. Assembling the bracket. Press the two small plastic ratchets into

the sides of the metal bracket as shown in the following illustration.

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 14°

transom. Most outboard and stern-drive transoms have a 14° angle.

Align plastic ratchets in bracket.

2. Aligning the transducer on the transom. Slide the transducer

between the two ratchets. Temporarily slide the bolt though the trans-

ducer assembly and hold it against the transom. Looking at the trans-

ducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust so that its face is paral-

lel to the ground. If it does, then the "A" position is correct for your

hull.

Dot

If the transducer's face isn't parallel with the ground, remove the

transducer and ratchets from the bracket. Place the ratchets 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 par-

allel with the ground. If you can, then go to step 3. If it doesn't, repeat

step 2, but use a different alignment letter until you can place the

transducer on the transom correctly.

Insert bolt and check transducer position on transom.

3. Assembling the transducer. Once you determine the correct posi-

tion for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the following

figure. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.

Ratchets

Assemble transducer and bracket.

4. Drilling mounting holes. Hold the transducer and bracket assem-

bly against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel to

the ground. The transducer's centerline should be in line with the bot-

tom of the hull. Don't let the bracket extend below the hull!

Mark the center of each slot for the mounting screw pilot holes. You

will drill one hole in the center of each slot.

Drill the holes. Use the #29 bit (for the #10 screws).

Attach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or down

until it's aligned properly with the bottom of the hull as shown in the

preceding and following figures. Tighten the bracket's mounting

screws, sealing them with the caulking compound.

Adjust the transducer so that it's parallel to the ground and tighten the

nut until it touches the outer 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.

Align transducer centerline with hull bottom

and attach to transom.

6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to

the sonar unit. Make sure you leave some slack in the cable at the

transducer. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wir-

ing. Electrical noise from the engine's wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio

wires, cables and aerators can be picked up by the sonar. Use caution

when routing the transducer cable around these wires.

WARNING:

Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the

transducer. This can prevent the transducer from enter-

ing the boat if it is knocked off at high speed.

If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through,

the required hole size is 5/8". (If you intend to route an additional speed

or temp sensor cable through the same hole, you will need a 1" (25.4

mm) drill bit instead.)

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 mounting screws.

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 trans-

ducer bracket down. This puts the transducer deeper into the water,

hopefully below the turbulence causing the noise. Don't allow the

transducer bracket to go below the bottom of the hull!

Trolling Motor Bracket Installation

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.)

Attach motor mounting bracket to transducer.

2. Slide the adjustable strap supplied with the TMB-S through the slot

in the transducer bracket and wrap it around the trolling motor.

Position the transducer to aim straight down when the motor is in the

water. Tighten the strap securely.

3. Route the transducer cable alongside the trolling motor shaft. Use

plastic ties (not included) to attach the transducer cable to the trolling

motor shaft. Make sure there is enough slack in the cable for the motor

to turn freely. Route the cable to the sonar unit and the transducer is

ready for use.

Transducer Orientation and Fish Arches

If you do not get good fish arches on your display, it could be because

the transducer is not parallel with the ground when the boat is at rest

in the water or at slow trolling speeds.

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 the transducer is angled too far down

and needs to be raised.

NOTE:

Periodically wash the transducer's face with soap and water to re-

move any oil film. Oil and dirt on the face will reduce the sensitiv-

ity or may even prevent operation.

Shoot-thru-hull transducer locations for

high speed or trolling speed operation.

Testing Determines Best Location

Ideally, the shoot-thru transducer should be installed as close to the

transom as possible, close to the centerline. This will give you the best

performance during high speed maneuvers.

1. Anchor the boat in about 30 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 in the water. Adjust the sensitiv-

ity and range controls until a second bottom echo is seen on the display.

(You'll need to turn off Auto Sensitivity, Auto Depth Range and ASP™.

Try a range setting that is two to three times the water depth. The harder

(more rocky) the bottom, the easier it will be to get a second bottom sig-

nal.) Don't touch the controls once they've been set.

2. Next, take the transducer out of the water and place it in the water in

the sump of the boat, face down. (The transducer face is shown in the

figure on the following page.) Notice how the signal strength decreases.

The second bottom signal will probably disappear and the bottom signal

intensity will likely decrease.

Transducer location (trolling speed)

Transducer location (high speed)

Example of a second bottom signal. Unit is in 30 feet of water, with

range set at 80 feet and sensitivity set at 87 percent.

3. Now move the transducer around to find the best location with the

strongest possible bottom signal. If you find a spot with an acceptable

bottom signal, mark the location and move on to step 4.

If you can't get an acceptable bottom signal, try turning up the sensitivity

by three or five keystrokes and then move the transducer around once

more. If you find a spot that works, mark it and move on to step 4.

If you have to turn up sensitivity by more than five keystrokes to get a

good signal, the transducer should be mounted on the outside of the

hull. This is especially true if you have to turn sensitivity all the way

up to get a decent bottom signal.

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. You'll need to figure

some way to prop the transducer into position while you make your test

run. (A brick or two might be sufficient to hold it in place.)

5. When you're satisfied with a location, mark it and proceed with

the installation.

Shoot-Thru-Hull Installation

1. Make sure 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 sanded hull area should be about 1-1/2 times

the diameter of the transducer. The surface of the hull must be flat so

the entire transducer face is in contact with the hull prior to bonding.

After sanding, clean the hull and transducer with rubbing alcohol to

remove any sanding debris.

Epoxy transducer to hull.

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.

CAUTION:

When using the unit in a saltwater environment, we strongly rec-

ommend that you shut off the power supply to the power cable

when the unit is not in use. When the unit is turned off but still

connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power ca-

ble plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with

the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket.

In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the power

cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat designs.

If that results in electrical interference, or if such a switch is not

available, we recommend connecting direct to the battery and in-

stalling an inline switch. This will let you shut off power to the

power cable when the unit is not in use. When you are not using

the unit, you should always shut off power to the power cable, es-

pecially when the power cable is disconnected from the unit.

Power connections for the FishEasy 245 and SeaFinder 245DS

sonar units (direct battery connection shown).

If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, espe-

cially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from elec-

trical noise. The power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the

positive lead, black is negative or ground. Make sure to attach the in-

line fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible.

For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the battery or

power buss, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the battery or

power buss. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the

event of a short. It uses a 3-amp fuse.

Caution:

Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the

power cable! Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your war-

ranty.

This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the

power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the

wires are attached correctly.

Mounting the Sonar Unit: In-Dash, Bracket or Portable

You can install the sonar unit on the top of a dash with the supplied

bracket. This unit can be installed in a dash with the optional FM-6 in-

dash adapter kit. The FM-6 kit includes an instruction sheet, part 988-

0147-631, which contains a template for cutting out the mounting hole.

This document can be downloaded free from the www.eaglesonar.com

web site.

Bracket Installation

Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 1" (25.4 mm) drill bit,

screwdriver. Required supplies for this job include: high quality, ma-

rine grade above- or below-waterline caulking compound, three #10

stainless steel screws. Screw length and type should be suitable for the

material on which you intend to mount the bracket.

Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance

when it’s tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure

there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power/transducer

cable. (See the following drawings, which show the dimensions of a

gimbal-mounted FishEasy 245DS and SeaFinder 245DS sonar unit.)

Holes in the bracket’s base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting.

You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin pan-

els to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.

Front view (left) and side view (right) showing dimensions

of the FishEasy 245DS and SeaFinder 245DS when mounted on quick

release bracket.

Drill a 1" (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power/transducer and ac-

cessory cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the

gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that

it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat in-

stallation. Some customers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the

side of the cable hole — it's a matter of personal preference.

After drilling the hole, pass the connectors up through the hole from

under the dash. If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cable with

a good marine caulking compound. (Some marine dealers stock cable hole

covers to conceal the opening.)

Using the Quick Release Mounting Bracket

These units use a quick release mounting bracket. When you run the

cables through the bracket's cable slots, make sure you allow enough

slack for tilting the unit and attaching the connector. (The snug fit of

the push-on waterproof connector requires some force to attach.)

Align the bracket over the cable hole with the cable slots facing away

from you and fit the cable through one of the slots. Fasten the bracket

to the dash using the three screw holes.

Slots in the base allow routing the cable from beneath the mount.

Attach the unit to the bracket by first connecting the power/transducer

and accessory cables. Then, hold the sonar unit vertically and slide it

onto the bracket from above. (The back of the unit should be touching

Installing the Batteries

Open the case and lay it flat. (The latch is located below the handle.)

Insert eight "AA" size batteries into the battery adapter and place it in

the battery compartment. Slip the battery cover tabs into the slots in

the case wall, then close the battery cover with the thumb screw.

Install batteries in battery compartment (left).

Attach power cable, and route wires as shown (right).

Plug the cable's power (dog bone-shaped) connector into the socket on

the battery compartment cover. Route the cable's unit connector and

about 6 inches (15.2 cm) of cable through the opening under the sonar

mount. Close the case bottom, using the slot in the case wall to avoid

pinching the cable. Turn the unit over to mount the sonar.

CAUTION:

When using the sonar in a saltwater environment, we strongly

recommend that you unplug the power connector from the bat-

tery socket when the unit is not in use. When the unit is turned

off but still connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in

the power cable plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug

body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the

unit's power socket.

Mounting the Unit

A quick-release mount is built into the top of the portable power pack. To

attach the unit, first plug in the cable connector. Then, hold the sonar unit

vertically and slide it onto the bracket from above. (The back of the unit

should be touching the front of the bracket as you lower it into position.)

As you push down, the unit will lock into place with a distinct click.

To mount the sonar, slide the unit onto the bracket from above (left).

To adjust the view, press and release spring-loaded ratchets while tilt-

ing the unit (right).

To adjust the viewing angle, pinch the quick-release mount's ratchets

with one hand, then tilt the unit with your other hand. Release the

ratchets and the unit locks into the new position. To remove the unit

from the PPP-12, press the ratchets and lift the unit off the bracket.

Turn the sonar unit on. If it works, turn it off and finish assembling the

portable transducer. If it doesn't work, make sure the battery terminals

are making good contact against the battery contacts. Also make sure

the batteries are oriented correctly in the battery adapter.

If it still doesn't work, check the battery voltage. Most complaints we

hear about portable units result from stale batteries. Make sure you buy

Ratchet

fresh ones. Always remove batteries from the compartment when storing

the unit because dead batteries can leak and corrode the contacts.

In cold weather the efficiency of dry cell batteries drops with the tem-

perature. We find it a good idea to have the batteries and the sonar

unit good and warm before we leave home.

If the batteries do lose a charge, you can sometimes restore them by

placing them in a warm room or car interior. A better way is to replace

them with batteries that have been kept warm.

WARNING:

Never heat batteries over an open flame or direct hot air

onto them. A fire or explosion could result.

Portable Transducer Assembly

Assemble the transducer and portable bracket as shown in the follow-

ing illustrations.

Make sure there is one washer on each side of the transducer, inside the

bracket. Slide the other washer over the end of the bolt and screw on the nut.

Screw the suction cup onto the bracket using the supplied screw and

flat washer. Tie the nylon cord through the hole in the top of the

bracket. When using the transducer, tie the other end of the nylon cord

to the boat. This will help prevent losing the transducer if it comes off.

Portable transducer assembly: rear view (left) and side view (right).

Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Lo-

cate the transducer on the hull as shown in the following figure. Don't

let the bracket extend below the hull, because water pressure against it

can cause the suction cup to come off at speed.

NOTE:

For optimum operation, the portable transducer should be adjusted

so that it is parallel to the ground. For more information on this,

see the segment in the unit's operation manual on Transducer Ori-

entation and Fish Arches.

Moisten the suction cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly as possi-

ble. Tie the nylon cord to the boat and set the power pack and sonar unit in

a location for easy viewing. Your portable sonar is now ready for use.

Full Chart

The unit's default page, Full Chart shows all echoes scrolling across the

depth — determined by the digital sonar — shows in the upper left cor-

ner.

If the transducer with a built-in temperature sensor is connected, a

digital display for water temperature also will be shown. This tempera-

ture display can be turned on and off.

Depth Range

When turned on, the unit automatically adjusts the depth range ac-
