Align the slot on the back of the Fishfinder with the long mounting knob, and slide the Fishfinder into place. (Turn counter-clockwise to widen the bracket arms and clockwise to tighten. ) 2. Adjust the Fishfinder angle, and tighten the long mounting knob until snug. For the Fishfinder 140 (Fishfinder 90 option), rotate the swivel mount bracket by twisting it left or right. Select a good viewing angle, and then tighten all knobs. To install the Fishfinder on the mount bracket: Installing the Wiring Harness The Fishfinder comes with a wiring harness that connects the Fishfinder to power and the transducer with one easyto-remove connection. If your boat has an electrical system, you might be able to wire the Fishfinder directly to an unused holder on your current fuse block. If you are using the boat's fuse block, remove the in-line fuse holder supplied with the Fishfinder. You can also wire the Fishfinder directly to the battery. CAUTION: The Fishfinder input voltage is 10­18 volts DC. Do not exceed this voltage, because this can damage the Fishfinder and void the warranty. To install the wiring harness: 1. Determine the polarity of the power source using a test light or volt meter. Install the red (+) wire on the positive fuse holder or battery terminal. 10 Fishfinder 90/140 Owner's Manual INSTALLING YOUR FISHFINDER 3. Install the black (-) wire on the negative fuse holder or battery terminal. Align the notches on the cable plug and on the back of the Fishfinder. Insert the cable into the connector and turn the lock ring counter-clockwise until it stops. If the sonar appears to be working properly gradually increase the boat's speed observing the sonar's operation. If the sonar signal suddenly is lost or the bottom return is severely degraded, note the speed at which this occurs. Make moderate turns in both directions, and see if the signal improves. If the signal strength improves while turning, adjust the transducer so that it extends another 1/8" below the transom of the boat. If the signal does not improve, it might be necessary to move the transducer to a different location. To test the transom mount installation: Testing the Transom Mount Installation Perform this test after you install the Fishfinder.
