INSTALLATION - Bracket You can install the X-45 on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional IDA- 3 or IDA-4 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. This converts the X- 45's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount which can be used on the dash or overhead mounting positions. Installation instructions for the in-dash and swivel mounting kits are supplied w

POWER CONNECTIONS The X-45 works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the best isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough to reach the battery, splice #18 gauge insulated wire to it. If you do extend the power cable, make certain to attach the in-line fuse holder supplied with the X-45 to the battery

In the example shown at the bottom of the previous page, the range is from 0 to 60 feet and the bottom depth is 37.3 feet. NOTE: Turning the X-45 off erases all user settings and it returns to the system defaults.

The lower limit is in the bottom left corner. For example, if the upper limit is 40 feet and the lower limit is 70 feet, the zoom window size is 30 feet. The word “TRACK” appears in this menu when you first activate the zoom as shown below. This means the X-45 is tracking the bottom in a zoom window, always keeping it on the display.

CLEAR key to clear the display. If you wait a few seconds, it will automatically clear. ® GRAYLINE Grayline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It “paints” gray on targets that are stronger than a preset level. This shows the difference between a hard or soft bottom, large fish versus smaller ones, or rocks and brush on the bottom. For example, a soft, muddy, or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which shows a narrow or no gray line. A hard bottom returns a strong signal

words, it displays a small fish symbol when it thinks a target is a small fish, a medium fish symbol on a larger target, etc. The microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can't distin- guish between fish and other suspended objects such as turtles, sub- merged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending outwards from a group of limbs are the hardest objects for the Fish ID feature to distinguish from fish. You may see Fish ID symbols on the screen when, in fact,

TargetTrack™ The X-45 has the unique capability to "see" targets not only straight down, but also to the right and left, thanks to the optional BroadView™ transducer (not included). This transducer has three elements: left, right, and down. The X-45 uses all three elements to display targets between the surface and the bottom. Targets are shown as Fish ID symbols. This feature also shows the depth of the target directly above the fish symbol. In the screen shown below right, there is one symbol
