1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar and GPS! We know you're anxious to begin navigating and finding fish, but we have a favor to ask.
2 After you've gained some experience with your sonar, you'll want to check out Section 4, which discusses more advanced Sonar Options and Other Features .
3 Now, if you're into the fine details, glance over the next segment on specifications to see just how much sonar and GPS power your unit con- tains.
4 built-in temperature sensor is packed with the LM S- 337CDF. It h as 35 ° /12 ° cone angles. A single-frequency Skimmer transducer with built-in temperature sensor is packed with the LM S- 332. It ha s a 2 0 ° cone angle. Transducers operate at speeds up to 70 mph (61 kts).
5 Custom mapping: .......... MapCreate 6 software optional; optional plug and play LEI FreedomMaps offer the same high-detail without the computer work of MapCreate. Other plug and play mapping options include IMS Fishing Hot Spots , LEI NauticPaths charts and Navionics charts.
6 1957.) A son ar co nsi st s o f a tra ns mi tte r, tr ans du ce r, rec ei ve r an d d is - play. 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.
7 Your unit listens to signals from as many satellites as it can "see" above the horizon, eliminates the weakest signals, then computes its location in relation to those satellites. Once the unit figures its latitude and lon- gitude, it plots that position on the moving map shown on the screen.
8 No matter where they come from, GPS Data Files must be loaded from the MMC into memory before your unit can use them.) The other key GPS use for MMCs is storage of special high-detail, cus- tom maps, which you can produce on your computer with our MapCre- ate software.
9 fies the satellite and its position above the earth. Three of these satellites are spares, unused until needed. The rest virtually guarantee that at least four satellites are in view nearly anywhere on Earth at all times. A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix.
10 WAAS is designed to increase GPS accuracy to within 7.6 meters vertically and horizontally, but it consistently delivers accuracies within 1-2 meters horizontal and 2-3 meters vertical, according to the FAA. It does this by broadcasting correction signals on GPS frequencies.
11 Keyboard The other keys perform a variety of functions. When the text refers to a key to press, the key is shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, the "Enter/Icons" key is shown as ENT and the "Menu" key is shown as MENU .
12 Notes.
13 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar and GPS systems in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1.
14 Read these instructions carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Re- member, the transducer installation is the most critical part of a sonar installation.
15 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.
16 usually give you the best combination of smooth water flow and protec- tion from bangs and bumps. Align transducer centerline with hull bottom. However, there are times when you may need to adjust the transducer slightly higher or lower. (The slots in the mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the transducer up or down.
17 Second, the transducer angle cannot be adjusted for the best fish arches on your sonar display. (This is not an issue for flasher-style sonars.) Lack of angle adjustment can be particularly troublesome on hulls that sit with the bow high when at rest or at slow trolling speeds.
18 Place the ratchets into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the alignment mark mold ed in to th e bra cket. Plac e the ratch ets o nto t he transducer with the letter "A" aligned with the 12 o' cl oc k position on the transducer stem.
19 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.
20 Assemble transducer and bracket. 3. Assembling the transducer. A. One-piece bracket: Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the following fig- ure. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.
21 Position transducer mount on transom and mark mounting holes. Side view shown, left, and seen from above at right. 5. Attaching transducer to transom. A. One-piece bracket: Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown in the following figures.
22 Align transducer centerline with hull bottom and attach transducer to transom. Rear view of dual-frequency Skimmer shown. 6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable at the transducer.
23 Trolling Motor Bracket Installation (single-frequency only) 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.
24 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.
25 WARNING: Do not remove any material from your inner hull unless you know the hull's composition. Careless grinding or cutting on your hull can result in damage that could sink your boat. Contact your boat dealer or manufacturer to confirm your hull specifications.
26 To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.) 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water.
27 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.
28 2. The epoxy consists of the epoxy itself and a hardener. Remove the two compounds from the package and place them on the paper plate. Thoroughly stir the two compounds together until the mixture has a uniform color and consistency. Do not mix too fast or bubbles will form in the epoxy.
29 Once you've determined the proper location for the unit, place the sen- sor on the transom. The bottom of the bracket should be flush with the hull's bottom. Using the sensor as a template, mark the hull for the screws' pilot holes. Drill four 1/8" holes, one in each end of the slots.
30 sor's socket. If you have any questions concerning the installation of the sensor, please contact your local boat dealer. GPS Antenna/Receiver Module The LMS-332 and LMS-337CDF packages include the LGC-2000 GPS module. This device contains the unit's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals.
31 LGC-2000 direct connection to GPS unit. NOTE: The extension cable’s shorter branch will have a 60-ohm terminator at- tached to it. Do not remove this terminator. When you're not con- necting to a NMEA 2000 buss, you must leave the terminator con- nected to this socket for your antenna/receiver to function correctly.
32 LGC-2000 remote connection to NMEA 2000 buss. NOTE: An existing operational NMEA 2000 buss will already have termina- tors in place and will already be powered. If you're connecting to such a network, you won't need the terminators or extension cable provided.
33 Powering a NMEA 2000 Buss (NMEA 2000 Power cable) A NMEA 2000 buss must be connected to a power source to operate. If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 installation, it may already be connected to another power source. If your NMEA 2000 buss is already powered, you can ignore the NMEA 2000 Power cable.
34 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. If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires.
35 electrical devices, this unit could be damaged to a point that it is unrepairable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused. 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 warranty.
36 2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to receive NMEA format GPS data. The com port can also transmit NMEA format GPS data to another device. The four wires for the com port are combined with the Power Supply cable and NMEA 2000 Power cable to form the power/data cable (shown earlier).
37 LMS-332 and LMS-337CDF cable connections. Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install your unit on the dash with the gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-A-M bracket mounting system.
38 Optional R-A-M mounting system. Bracket Installation Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind it when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind it to attach the power, transducer and GPS antenna/receiver module cables.
39 Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power, transducer and antenna 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.
40 In-Dash Installation You can mount the unit in the dash with an optional FM-5 In-Dash Adapter Kit. The kit includes mounting hardware, a template for cut- ting the hole and an instruction sheet, part 988-0147-43. In-dash mounting template for LMS-332 and LMS-337CDF sonar/GPS units, showing dimensions.
41 PPP-15 Portable Power Pack with transducer installed. Shown with the X67C IceMachine . MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation Your unit uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as sonar logs, custom maps, waypoints, trails and other GPS data.
42 Memory card compartment with a 16 MB MMC card installed. To remove an MMC 1. Open the card compartment door by unscrewing the thumb screw. The screw should only be finger tight. If it was over-tightened, use a thumbnail, a coin or a screwdriver to open the door.

66 Chart Speed The rate that echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. The default is maximum; we recommend that you leave the speed set there for virtually all fishing conditions. However, you might consider experimenting with chart speed when you are stationary or drifting very slowly.
67 "paints" a brighter color on targets that are stronger than a preset value. This allows you to tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom. For example, a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is shown with a narrow, colored line (dark blue tinged with red or a little yellow.
68 At left, little ColorLine indicates a soft bottom, probably sand or mud. At right, the wider ColorLine indicates a harder ottom. Depth Cursor The depth cursor consists of a horizontal line with a digital depth box on the right side. The numbers inside the box show the depth of the cursor.
69 Depth Range - Automatic When turned on for the first time, the bottom signal is automatically placed in the lower half of the screen. This is called Auto Ranging and is part of the automatic function. However, depending upon the bottom depth and the current range, you can change the range to a different depth.
70 To turn Auto Depth Range on again: From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to A UTO D EPTH R ANGE | ENT | EXIT . NOTE: The sonar's depth capability depends on the water, bottom condi- tions, transducer installation and other factors.
