specific needs.
If you have used a Fishfinder before, and you know how
to interpret the sonar information on the screen, you can
skip this section. If you have not used a Fishfinder before,
you might want to learn a bit about sonar: what it is, how it
works, and what you might see on the Fishfinder 90 or 140
screen. This manual does not go into technical detail about
sonar, but it can give you a general understanding of those
things that you need to know about sonar that can help you
interpret the screen and find the fish.
Understanding Sonar
During installation, you connect your Fishfinder 90 or 140
to a transducer. The transducer uses sound to determine
information about what is in the water beneath your boat.
Then the transducer sends the information to your Fishfinder
to be displayed on the screen for you to view and interpret.
The transducer sends sound waves down into the water
in a cone shape, similar to a flashlight beam (covering a
smaller circular area at the top and angling out to a larger
circular area at the bottom). These sound waves reflect off
of any object that they hit, and then the waves travel back
up to the transducer. These objects could be fish, branches,
the bottom, or any other object that has density that is
different from the water. The transducer receives the sound

Getting Started
wave information, and then sends the information to the
Fishfinder. The Fishfinder displays the information on the
screen for you to see and interpret. The type of transducer
and settings you choose determine how the information is
shown on the screen.
Understanding Dual Beam Transducer
Coverage
A dual beam transducer can transmit a narrow or a wide
beam. The water area covered by the transmitted sound
waves is determined by the beam width of the transducer
and the water depth. The narrow beam provides crisp detail
of what is under your boat, and is helpful if you are fishing
in deeper water where the beam covers more area (for
example, at a 30-foot depth, the narrow beam covers the
area of about a 7-foot circle).
Wide
Beam
Narrow
Beam
The wide beam is more helpful in shallow water, because
it gives you a much wider view of objects in the water,
including areas beyond the sides of your boat. At a 30-foot
depth, the wide beam covers the area of approximately a
20-foot circle.

Getting Started
Understanding the Fishfinder Screen
Experimentation and experience are the keys to successfully
interpreting your Fishfinder screen. We recommend that you
take your Fishfinder out on familiar water, and spend time
learning to interpret what you see on the Fishfinder 90 or
140 screen.
Think of the Fishfinder screen as if you took a picture
from the side of an aquarium in your home. You can see
how deep a fish is in the water (how close it is to the top
or bottom), but you cannot tell where the fish is located
horizontally in the water (whether it is near the front or the
back of the aquarium). Remember this when you are trying
to locate exactly where something is in the water.

The strongest sonar returns appear on your screen as solid,
dark areas. The weakest returns appear less intense, less
solid. The bottom of the water body returns the strongest
signal, so you can identify the bottom as the continuous,
solid line running across the bottom of the screen. The
strength of the sonar return can also help you interpret the
hardness of the bottom. The thicker the bottom line, the
harder the bottom.

4 Fishfinder 90/140 Owner’s Manual
Getting Started
The Fishfinder 90 and 140 include the latest technology
in interpreting bottom signals; they can see through fish,
structures, and thermoclines (shown in the weakest hues).
Even so, large schools of fish or dense structures close to
the bottom can affect water depth return readings.
NOTE: If the Fishfinder is unable to track the bottom for
any reason, the digits which indicate depth flash on and off
to alert you that the Fishfinder is not tracking the bottom.
Along the top of the screen, you might see a grouping of
intense hues. This area is surface clutter, which can be
caused by waves or any other sonar interference at the
surface of the water. Too much surface clutter can obscure
your view of fish. You can turn down the Gain setting to
reduce this surface clutter (page 15).
You can see in the previous illustration how the fish are
indicated in a few different ways. By default, fish appear
as arches. Actual fish returns might not always appear as
perfect arches, due to the speed, fish orientation, or other
conditions. You can also turn on the Fish Symbols setting if
you want to see suspended targets indicated by a fish shape
instead of arches (page 17).
Using Simulator Mode
Use Simulator Mode to practice and learn the operation of
the Fishfinder. If the Fishfinder does not detect a transducer
at startup, it automatically starts in Simulator Mode.
While in Simulator Mode, the Fishfinder displays a bottom
scene, and you can control the Fishfinder (except the Gain
and Auto Gain options) just as if it were on the water.
If no keys are pressed for two minutes, the Fishfinder
automatically resets to default settings while in Simulator
Mode.
To exit Simulator Mode, turn off the Fishfinder.

4. Wrap the two ends of the cable tie around the motor
body. Place the pointed end of the cable tie through the
fastener hole on the opposite end and pull it through until
it is snug but not tight. (The cable tie clicks when you pull
it.)
5. Position the transducer so that it is parallel with the
bottom when in use, and make sure the gasket is aligned
properly. Pull the cable tie end until tight. Trim off the
excess, if necessary. Tighten the 10-32 locking nut until
it touches the mounting bracket and then tighten 1/4 turn
more. (Do not overtighten.)
6. Route the 20’ (6 m) transducer cable using the supplied
cable ties to secure the cable to the motor shaft. You
can fill the forward-facing portion (except the cable tie
pocket) of the transducer mount with sealant to avoid
accumulating debris.
Mounting the Transducer on a Transom
Tool List (not included)—drill, 3/8″ wrench or socket,
5/32″ and 1/8″ drill bits, masking tape, #2 Phillips
screwdriver, and marine sealant.
When selecting a transom mount location, consider the
following for optimal performance:
• For your sonar to operate properly, the transducer must
be located in calm water. DO NOT mount the transducer
behind strakes, rivet lines, struts, fittings, water intake,
discharge ports, eroding paint, or anything that creates
turbulence.
• Mount the transducer as close to the center of the boat as
possible.
• DO NOT cut the transducer lead. (This voids your
warranty.)
• DO NOT mount the transducer in locations where it
might be jarred when launching, hauling, trailering, or
storage.

Installing Your Fishfinder
• DO NOT mount the transducer in the path of the prop on
single-drive boats. The transducer can cause cavitation
that can degrade the boat’s performance and damage the
prop. On twin-drive boats, mount the transducer between
the drives, if possible.
Do not mount the transducer behind
strakes, rivet lines, struts, fittings, water
intakes or discharge ports.
Mount the transducer
parallel with the water line.
Make sure the transducer is below
water level when the boat is on plane
at high speed.
Apply marine sealant to all screw threads to prevent
water from seeping into the transom.

Fishfinder 90/140 Owner’s Manual 9
Installing Your Fishfinder
To mount the transducer on a transom:
1. Position the transducer mount at the selected transom
location. Make sure the transducer is parallel with the
water line. Mark the center locations of each hole on the
transducer mount. (See the figures on the next page.)
2. Using a 5/32″ bit, drill the pilot holes approximately 1″
(25 mm) deep at the marked locations. To avoid drilling
the holes too deep, wrap a piece of tape around the bit
at 1″ from the point of the bit.
3. Apply marine sealant to the 5 x 30 mm screws. Attach
the transducer assembly to the transom using the 5 x 30
mm screws. Adjust the transducer assembly to extend
beyond the bottom of the transom approximately 1/8″
(3 mm) on fiberglass hulls or 3/8″ (10 mm) on aluminum
hulls. Adjust the transducer assembly to be aligned
parallel with the water.
4. Tighten the 10-32 locking nut until it touches the
mounting bracket, and then tighten 1/4 turn more. (Do
not overtighten.)
5. Place the first cable clamp on the transducer cable
approximately one third of the distance between the
transducer and the top of the transom. Mark the location.
Using a 1/8″ bit, drill a pilot hole approximately 3/8″ (10
mm) deep.
6. Attach the cable clamp using a 4 x 12 mm screw. Coat
the screw with marine sealant before installation. Repeat
steps 5 and 6 using the other cable clamp.
7. Route the transducer cable, as needed, to the Fishfinder.
DO NOT CUT THE CABLE. Avoid routing the cable with
electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference.

Fishfinder 90/140 Owner’s Manual 11
Installing Your Fishfinder
To mount the bracket assembly:
1. Using the tilt mount bracket (Fishfinder 90) or the
swivel base (Fishfinder 140; Fishfinder 90 option) as a
template, mark the location of the three holes that you
use to secure the bracket to the mounting surface.
2. If securing the base with machine bolts, drill three 5/32″
holes at the locations you marked; or, if securing the
base using self-tapping screws, drill 1/16″ starter holes
at the locations you marked. Drill starter holes no deeper
than half the screw length.
3. Secure the tilt mount bracket or swivel base with three
bolts or screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
4. If you are using the swivel mount, place the swivel mount
bracket over the swivel base and secure it with the short
knob.
To install the Fishfinder on the mount bracket:
1. Align the slot on the back of the Fishfinder with the long
mounting knob, and slide the Fishfinder into place. If
necessary, adjust the long knob to spread the bracket
arms apart. (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.
3. For the Fishfinder 140 (Fishfinder 90 option), rotate
the swivel mount bracket by twisting it left or right. The
bracket clicks as you turn it. Select a good viewing

Installing Your Fishfinder
Installing the Wiring Harness
The Fishfinder comes with a wiring harness that connects
the Fishfinder to power and the transducer with one
easy-to-remove connection. If it is necessary to extend the
power wires, use 22 AWG wire. DO NOT cut the transducer
cable, because this voids your warranty. 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 10–18 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.
2. Install the red (+) wire on the positive fuse holder or
battery terminal.
3. Install the black (-) wire on the negative fuse holder or
battery terminal.
4. Install a 2 Amp fuse in the fuse holder (fuse block only).
5. 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.

Fishfinder 90/140 Owner’s Manual 13
Installing Your Fishfinder
Testing the Transom Mount
Installation
Perform this test after you install the Fishfinder. Because
you need water to carry the sonar signal, the Fishfinder
does not function properly with the transducer out of the
water. When you place your boat in the water, CHECK FOR
LEAKS around the screw holes that are below the water
line. DO NOT leave your boat in the water for an extended
period of time without checking for leaks.
To test the transom mount installation:
1. Begin testing the installation at a slow speed. 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.
2. Return the boat to the speed at which the signal was
lost. Make moderate turns in both directions, and see if
the signal improves.
3. If the signal strength improves while turning, adjust the
transducer so that it extends another 1/8″ below the
transom of the boat. It might take several adjustments to
eliminate the degradation.
4. If the signal does not improve, it might be necessary to
move the transducer to a different location.

lint-free cloth. Water or eyeglass cleaner can be used if
needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and
then gently wipe the screen with the moistened cloth.
WARNING: The Fishfinder screen is coated with a special
anti-reflective coating which is very sensitive to skin oils,
waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING
AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE
COATING. It is very important to clean the screen using
an eyeglass lens cleaner which is specified as safe for anti-
reflective coatings and a clean, lint-free cloth.
Storage
Do not store the Fishfinder where prolonged exposure to
temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a
car), because permanent damage may result.
Water Immersion
The Fishfinder is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7.
It can withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30
minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause damage to the
Fishfinder. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air dry
the Fishfinder before reuse.
