vi WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a po sition (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.
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 Sonar sounding depth capability: ........... SeaCharter 320DF: 1,500 feet (457 meters). FishElite 320: 800 feet (244 meters). Actual capability depends on transducer con- figuration and installation, bottom composi- tion and water conditions. All sonar units typically read deeper in fresh water than in salt water.
5 Audible alarms: ............. Arrival/off-course/anchor. Graphic symbols for waypoints or event marker icons: ................. 42. Routes: ............................. 100, up to 100 waypoints per route. Plot Trails: ...................... 10 savable; up to 9,999 points per trail.
6 Your unit can record a log of the sonar signals that scroll across the screen and save them to the MMC me mory card. (These recordings are also called sonar charts or sonar grap hs.) You can replay this sonar log in the unit using the Sonar Simulator function, or play it back on a per- sonal computer using our free Sonar Vi ewer.
7 MapCreate map. There is so much detail in our background map (and even more in MapCreate) that we'll describe their contents and differ- ences in Sec.
8 Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how the unit does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page 13, so you can mount your unit and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tutorials easy to skim.
9 determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude.) This is called a 3D fix. Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals.
10 receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation avail- able, such as a map or chart and a compass. Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shor.
11 1. From the Map Page, press MENU | MENU | ↓ to M Y T RAILS | ENT . 2. Press ↓ to Trail 1 | ENT | → | ↓ to N AVIGATE | ENT . 3. You are asked to wait while it converts the trail into a route. 4. The wait message disappears and the unit begins showing navigation information along the trail.
12 Notes.
13 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar and GPS sy stems 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 posi tions 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.
15 2. The transducer should be insta lled with its face pointing straight down, if possible. 3. If the transducer is mounted on the transom, make sure it doesn't interfere with the trailer or haulin g of the boat. Also, don't mount it closer than approximately one foot from the engine's lower unit.
16 However, there are times when you may need to adjust the transducer slightly higher or lower. (The slot s in the mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the tr ansducer up or down.
17 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. B. Two-piece bracket: Locate the four plastic ratchets in the trans- ducer's hardware package.
18 Add ratchets to bracket and transducer. 2. Aligning the transducer on the transom. A. One-piece bracket: Slide the transducer between the two ratch- ets.
19 B. Two-piece bracket: Assemble the transducer and bracket as shown in the following figure. Temporarily slide the bolt though the transducer assembly but don't tighten the nut at this time. Hold the assemble d transducer and bracket against the transom.
20 B. Two-piece bracket: Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the figure in step 2B. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time. 4. Drilling mounting holes. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom.
21 Both bracket types: 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.
22 Manual locking collar connector Push-on self-sealing connector requires a 1" hole. requires a 5/8" hole. Caution: If you drill a hole in the transom fo r the cable, make sure it is lo- cated above the waterline.
23 Transducer mounted on trolling motor, side view. 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 th e ground when the boat is at rest in the water or at slow trolling speeds.
24 NOTE: Periodically wash the transducer's face with soap and water to re- move any oil film. Oil and dirt on th e face will reduce the sensitivity or may even prevent operation.
25 Next, take the transducer out of th e water and place it in the water in the sump of the boat. Observe the so nar signal to see if there is a no- ticeable decrease in sensitivity. The second bottom signal may disap- pear and the bottom signal may decrease in intensity.
26 2. Follow the instructions on the epoxy package and mix it thoroughly. Do not mix it too fast, because it will cause bubbles to form in the ep- oxy. Apply a small amount on the face of the transducer as shown above, then spread a small amount onto the sanded area on the hull.

28 FishElite 320 Sensor Chart FishElite 320 with secondary external temperature sensor. Primary temp sensor is built into the transducer. FishElite 320 with external speed sensor or combo speed/temp sensor. The primary temperature sensor is built into the transducer.
29 Optional Speed Sensor Installation All the units in this family can disp lay speed and distance traveled, but only the SeaCharter 320DF comes pack ed with a speed sensor. If you wish to purchase an optional additional sensor for your unit, refer to the accessory ordering information inside the back cover of this manual.
30 If the base of the transom has a ra dius, fill the gap between the tran- som and the sensor with the caulki ng compound. This will help ensure a smooth water flow.
31 You need to select an antenna insta llation location that has a clear, un- obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, route the cable to the unit, plug it in the center socket on the back and your system is ready to use.
32 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.
33 connect to the GPS receiver (such as the SeaCharter 320DF). Eagle of- fers an optional DGPS receiver for your unit. See the diagrams on the following page for general wiring connections. Read your other product’s owner’s manual for more wiring information.

35 Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the unit on the top of a dash with the supplied 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.
36 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.
37 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 this sonar/GPS unit, showing dimensions.
38 Install batteries in power pack battery adapter. MMC or SDC Memory Card Installation Your sonar/GPS unit uses a MultiM edia Card to store information, such as sonar logs, custom maps, wa ypoints, trails and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD card or SDC) to store data.
39 Memory card compartment with a 16 MB MMC card installed. To remove an MMC 1. Open the card compartment d oor by unscrewing the thumb screw. The screw should only be finger tigh t. If it was over-tightened, use a thumbnail, a coin or a screwdriver to open the door.
