5 & Accessories on pa ge 9. If you're new to GPS, read on, and you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowledge.) First, think of your unit as a small but powerful computer.
6 GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation that the federal govern- ment discontinued SA on May 2, 2000, after the military developed other methods to deny GPS service to enemy forces. Reliable accuracy for civilian users jumped from 100 meters (330 feet) under SA to the present level of 10 to 20 meters (about 30 to 60 feet.
7 GPS alone is plenty accurate for route navigation, but the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has special aircraft navigation needs that go beyond basic GPS. So, the FAA has developed a program to boost GPS performance with its Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS.

9 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.
10 Remember, the transducer location and installation is the most critical part of a sonar installation. Recommended Tools and supplies If you prefer the option of routing the cable through the transom, you will need a 5/8" drill bit.
11 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. Left, vee pad hull; right, vee hull. A pod style transducer is shown here, but the principle is the same for Skimmers inside a hull.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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 alignment letter until you can place the transducer on the transom correctly.
15 Position transducer mount on transom and mark mounting holes. Side view shown at left and seen from above at right. 5. Attaching transducer to transom. 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.
16 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 tra nsd uce r. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat.
17 3. Route the transducer cable alongside the trolling motor shaft. Use plastic ties (not included) to attach the transducer cable to the troll- ing 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 trans- ducer is ready for use.
18 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.
19 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. Shoot-thru-hull transducer locations for high speed or trolling speed operation.
20 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 de- creases. The second bottom signal will probably disappear and the bot- tom signal intensity will likely decrease.
21 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 performance.
22 5. After the epoxy has cured, route the cable to the sonar unit and it's ready to use. POWER AND CABLE CONNECTIONS The unit works from a 12-volt battery system.
23 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.

26 Cuda 240 quick rel ease mounting bracket. Slots in the base allow routing the cable from beneath the mount. Attach the unit to the bracket by first connecting the power/transducer cable. Then, hold the sonar unit vertically and slide it onto the bracket from above.
27 Adjust viewing angle: use one hand to press and release the spring- loaded ratchets while you move the unit with the other hand. An op- tional GBSA-3 swivel base is shown with the quick release bracket. Portable Sonar Installation Like many Eagle products, the Cu da 240 sonar is capable of portable operation.
28 NOTE: When the unit is not in use, we recommend you unplug the power connector to reduce the possibility of corrosion or battery drain. When you store the unit, always remove the batteries because dead batteries can leak and corrode the contacts.
29 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 the batteries over an open flame or direct hot air onto them.
30 Portable transducer installed on boat transom. 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 earlier segment on Transducer Orientation and Fish Arches.
31 Section 3: Basic Sonar Operation KEYBOARD BASICS The unit sounds a tone when you press any key. This tells you the unit has accepted a command. Numbers in the photo correspond to key ex- planations below: Eagle Cuda 240 Sonar, front view, showing screen and keyboard.
32 4. ARROW KEYS – These keys are used to navigate through the menus, make menu selections, move the plotter cursor and sonar chart cursor and enter data. 5. ENT (Enter) – This key allows you to save data, accept values or execute menu commands. It is also used to create event marker icons.
33 Main Menu. Main Menu Commands There are four "basic" Main Menu commands that you'll really want to read more about. They are: • Screen commands ( C ONTRAST , B RIGHTNESS and D ISPLAY M ODE ): change the appearance of the display screen.
34 Sonar Menu The Sonar Menu contains commands for the major sonar features and options. You access the Sonar Menu by pressing the MENU key one time. You run a command by using ↑ or ↓ to highlight the command and then pressing ENT . To clear the menu screen and return to the Page display, press EXIT .
35 • Overlay Data command: chooses what types of information (such as water temperature) to show overlaid on the sonar chart screen. • Sonar Features command: launches the Sonar Features menu which controls many functions and options, including screen color mode, auto depth and sensitivity, surface clarity, noise rejection, Fish I.
36 Sonar chart display options (from left) full sonar chart and split zoom. Sonar chart digital data display option. You can customize how the Sonar Page pictures and other data are dis- played in many ways .
37 Basic Sonar Quick Reference 1. Mount the transducer and unit. Connect the unit to electric power and the transducer. 2. Launch your boat. 3. To turn on the unit, press and release PWR key. 4. Head for your fishing grounds. Your unit automatically displays digi- tal depth and surface water temperature in the corner of the screen.
38 Sonar Operations As you can see from the quick reference on the previous page, basic operation is pretty easy, right out of the box. If you are a sonar novice, try operating the unit with the factory defaults until you get a feel for how it's working.
39 You can change the sensitivity level whether you are in Auto Sensitiv- ity mode or Manual Sensitivity mode. The adjustment method works the same in both modes, but it gives you slightly different results.
40 NOTE: If you want to change the sensitivity in Manual Mode, first turn off Auto Sensitivity: from the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to A UTO S ENSITIVITY | ENT | ↑ to S ENSITIVITY | ENT . Press ↓ or ↑ to pick a different sensitivity setting. When it's set at the desired level, press EXIT .
41 Other Free Training Aids The following section discusses Fish I.D., fish alarms and other fea- tures in greater detail. If you or a friend has Internet access, you can also learn more about interpreting what you see on your sonar screen. Visit our web site, WWW.
42 Notes.
43 Section 4: Sonar Options & Other Features Material in this section is arranged in alphabetical order. ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) The ASP feature is a noise rejection system built into the sonar unit that constantly evaluates the effects of boat speed, water conditions and interference.
44 3. Press ↓ or ↑ to select a setting, then press ENT . 4. To return to the previous page, press EXIT | EXIT . Alarms This unit has three different types of sonar alarms. The first is a Fish Alarm. It sounds when the Fish I.D. feature determines that an echo is a fish.
45 3. Press ↑ or ↓ until the depth is correct, then press ENT . 4. Press ← to S HALLOW A LARM E NABLED | ENT | EXIT . 5. To turn off the alarm, press MENU | MENU | ↓ to A LARMS | ENT | ↓ to S ONAR A LARMS | ENT | ENT | EXIT . To switch to a different depth setting, open the Sonar Alarms menu and repeat the instructions in step 3 above.
46 3. To set the upper boundary for the Zone Alarm, use ← or → to select U PPER , then press ↑ or ↓ to move the top of the bar to the desired depth. 4. To set the lower boundary for the Zone Alarm, use ← or → to select L OWER , then press ↑ or ↓ to move the bottom of the bar to the desired depth.
47 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.
48 At left, Sonar Page menu with Depth Cursor command selected. At right, sonar chart with the depth cursor active. The line indicates the large fish is 40.53 feet deep. The cursor can be moved to any location on the screen, letting you pin- point the depth of a target.
49 2. The Depth Range Control Scale appears. Press ↑ or ↓ to select a dif- ferent depth range. A dark bar highlights the selected range. Range numbers in gray cannot be selected. 3. When the new range is selected, press EXIT to clear the menu. Depth Range - Manual You have complete control over the range when the unit is in the man- ual mode.
50 When the boat is not moving, fish signals are long, drawn out lines on a normal chart display. FasTrack converts the graph to a vertical bar graph that, with practice, makes a useful addition to fishing at a sta- tionary location. Fish I.D. (Fish Symbols & Depths) The Fish I.
51 To turn the Fish I.D. feature on: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONAR F EATURES | ENT . 2. Press ↓ to F ISH ID S YMBOLS | ENT | EXIT | EXIT . To turn off Fish I.D., repeat these instructions. FishTrack The FishTrack feature shows the depth of a fish symbol when it ap- pears on the display.
52 If you have two signals of equal size, one with gray and the other with- out, then the target with gray is the stronger signal. This helps distin- guish weeds from trees on the bottom, or fish from structure. Grayline is adjustable. Experiment with your unit to find the Grayline setting that's best for you.
53 Overlay Data command on the Sonar Menu, at left. Overlay Data Shown selection menu, right. In this example, we scrolled down the data list to highlight "Ground Speed." When selected, a check mark appears beside the data type. (If you wish, you may now use ↓ or ↑ to select other Data Types for display.
54 The selected data type will be displayed in the new size. (To change the font size for another Data Type, press ENT and repeat these steps, be- ginning with step two above.) 3. To return to the previous page, press EXIT . Sonar chart with Overlay Data turned on.
55 At left, Sonar Menu with Ping Speed command selected. Ping Speed Control Bar, right, at default setting. To change Ping Speed: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to P ING S PEED | ENT . 2. The Ping Speed Control Bar appears. Press ↑ to increase ping speed; press ↓ to decrease ping speed.
56 1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to S YSTEM S ETUP | ENT | ↓ to R ESET O PTIONS | ENT . 2. Press ↑ or ↓ to Y ES | ENT . 3. All the menus are cleared and all options are returned to the factory settings. System Menu with Reset Options command selected.
57 The control bar used to adjust sensitivity up or down is the same whether the unit is in the automatic or manual mode. In automatic you can adjust sensitivity up to 100 percent but the unit will limit your minimum setting. In auto, the unit will continue to make small ad- justments, allowing for the setting you selected.
58 Tip: For quicker sensitivity adjustments, try leaving the Sensitivity Control Bar on the screen as the chart scrolls. You can see the changes on the screen as you press the up or down arrows. This is handy when there's a lot of clutter in the water, and you are matching the sensitivity to rapidly changing water conditions.
59 2. The Keel Offset dialog box appears with a plus (+) sign at the front of the box. 3. Press ↑ until the displayed number is + 1.5, then press EXIT .
60 Full Sonar Chart. The Overlay Data (depth and water temperature) are each set to a different text size. Split Zoom Sonar Chart A split chart shows the underwater world from the surface to the bot- tom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged ver- sion of the right side.
61 Digital Data/Chart Sonar Simulator This unit has a built-in simulator that lets you run it as if you were on the water. All sonar features and functions are useable. When in simulator mode, you will see [Simulator Mode] in the Sonar Page title bar.
62 Sonar Menu with Stop Chart command selected. The box is unchecked, indicating that the chart is scrolling across the screen. Surface Clarity The markings extending downward from the zero line on the chart are called "surface clutter." These markings are caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversion and more.
63 Zoom & Zoom Bar "Zooming" the display is used to enlarge small detail, fish signals and the bottom with its associated structure. The 2X zoom doubles the size of all echoes on the screen. The 4X zoom quadruples the size of the echoes.
64 Notes.
65 Section 5: Sonar Troubleshooting 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 for repair.
66 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.
67 NOISE A major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise. This usually ap- pears on the sonar's display as random patterns of dots or lines. In se- vere cases, it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unit to operate erratically, or not at all.
68 Notes.
69 Section 6: Basic GPS Operations This section addresses the unit's GPS operations. Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the dif- ferent keys, the four GPS Page screens and how they all work together.
70 5. ENT/ICONS (Enter & Icons) – This key allows you to save data, ac- cept values or execute menu commands. It is also used to create event marker icons. 6. EXIT – The Exit key lets you return to the previous screen, clear data or erase a menu.
71 Main Menu. The Main Menu commands and their functions are: Screen command: changes the contrast or brightness of the display screen. Sounds command: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style. Alarms command: turns GPS or sonar alarms on or off and changes alarm thresholds.
72 Pages The unit has four GPS Page displays that represent the four major oper- ating modes. They are the Satellite Status Page, the Navigation Page, Plotter Page and the Position Page. They are accessed by pressing PAGES | ← to GPS , then using ↑ or ↓ to select a Page.
73 Satellite Page. Left view indicates unit has not locked on to any satel- lites and does not have a fix on its position. Center view shows satel- lites being scanned. Right view shows satellite lock-on with a 3D posi- tion acquired (latitude, longitude and altitude.
74 Navigation Page This screen has a compass rose that not only shows your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. To get to the Navi- gation Page: Pre ss PAGES | ← to GPS | ↑ or ↓ to N AVIGATION | EXIT .
75 Speed (ground speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground. (If you wish, you can customize the Speed window to display Closing Speed instead. Closing Speed is also known as velocity made good. It's the speed that you're making toward the waypoint.
76 Navigation Page, backtracking a trail while creating a new trail. In the example figure above, the driver is headed north (a 12º track) toward a waypoint 12º (bearing) away. The cross track error range (white corridor) is 0.20 miles either side of the course.
77 The Position Page can be fully customized. The lower window can display ten of 22 types of navigation information. For customization instructions see the Customize Page Displays topic in Sec. 7, System and GPS Setup Options . Some of the popular information displays include: Altitude is height above sea level, not ground level.
78 The arrow in the center of the screen is your present position. It points in the direction you're traveling. The flashing line extending from the back of the arrow is your plot trail, or path you've taken. The plotter's zoom range is the distance across the screen.
79 GPS Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. While you're learning, navigation in too small an area will constantly trigger arrival alarms. 1. Install the unit.
