differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing. The GPS Receiver allows you to combine easy-to-use trackplotting and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by your Fishing System when it is connected to th

Fishing System AS-YC (“Y”) Cable Smartcast® WSL GPS Receiver WeatherSense® 5. The Fishfinder Control Head outputs NMEA signals through the "pigtail" cable attached to the end of the GPS receiver cable for connection to devices such as autopilots. Connect the NMEA Out (White Wire) of the cable to the NMEA In of the device you are connecting to your Fishfinder. The pinouts of this cable are as follows: • Red Wire, +12V (output voltage only) • Black Wire, Ground • White Wire, NMEA Out. CAUTION! Ple

2. Mark the mounting location and drill a 3/4” (19 mm) hole for the cable and cable connector. Secure the NMEA pigtail to the cable with electrical tape. Route the cable. 3. Cover the cable hole with the GPS receiver. Make sure the receiver is flush against the surface and mark the two mounting holes with a pencil or awl. 4. Move the receiver to the side and drill two pilot holes, using a 5/32” (4 mm) bit. NOTE: Apply marine-grade silicone caulk or sealant to both screw and drilled holes as need

2. Confirm that the cable length is adequate and route the cable from the receiver to the Fishfinder control head. If holes are required to route the cable, they must be 3/4” (19 mm) to allow for the cable connector. Secure the NMEA pigtail with electrical tape. 3. The GPS receiver has two wire routing notches. Use the cable notch closest to the intended cable route. 4. With the cable routed, position the GPS receiver in the planned mounting location and mark the mounting holes with a pencil or

Introduction to Navigation Use your Fishfinder to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat. Waypoints, Routes and Tracks Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your Fishing System can store up to 750 waypoints.
