INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing an Eagle sonar. Your Fish ID 128 is a high quality sonar designed for both professional and novice fishermen. This unit has an automatic feature that finds and displays the bottom, fish, structure, and more! All you have to do is press the on key. However, if you wish to fine tune the unit, simply press a menu key. This unit has powerful features available through easy-to-use menus. To get started with your Eagle sonar, first read the installation section. T

INSTALLATION - Bracket You can install the unit 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 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 with the

PERMANENT MOUNT TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION The HS-WSPC supplied with your sonar is a transom mount transducer. It can be installed on any outboard or stern-drive (inboard\outboard) powered boat. The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does “kick- up”, the bracket can easily be pushed back in place without tools. Read the enclosed transducer installation instructions carefully before attempting the installati

4. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from engine wiring, bilge pumps, and areators can be displayed on the sonar’s screen. Use caution when routing the trans- ducer cable around these wires. CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION!

RATCHETS remove the transducer and ratchets from the bracket. Place the ratch- ets into the holes in the bracket with the letter “B” aligned with the dot stamped in the bracket. 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 it does, then go to step 3. If it doesn’t, repeat step 2, but use a different letter until you can place the transducer on the transom correctly. 3. Once you de

4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel to the ground. The bottom of the transducer bracket should be in line with the bottom of the hull. Don't let the bracket extend below the hull! Mark the center of the slots for the mounting holes. Drill two 5/32" holes in the marked locations for the #10 screws supplied with the transducer. TRANSOM SIDE VIEW 5. Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the cable passing

6. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Make certain to leave some slack in the cable at the transducer as shown at the bottom of the previous page. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from the engine’s wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires and cables can be picked up by the sonar. IMPORTANT! Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the transducer. This can prevent the transducer from entering the boat if it is knocked o

POWER CONNECTIONS -PERMANENT MOUNT UNITS ONLY IMPORTANT! INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER BEFORE WIRING THE POWER CABLE! The Fish ID 128 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 p

Open the compartment and install eight "D" cell batteries into the adapter. For the longest life, we recommend you use alkaline batteries.

battery voltage. Most of the complaints we receive about portable units result from stale batteries. Make certain the ones you buy are fresh. Always remove batteries from the battery compartment before storing the unit as dead batteries can leak and corrode the contacts. In cold weather the efficiency of dry cell batteries drops with the tempera- ture. We find it a good idea to have the sonar unit good and warm along with the batteries before we leave home. If the batteries do lose a charge,

Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Locate the transducer on the hull as shown below. Don't allow the bracket to go below the hull, as water pressure against it can cause the suction cup to come off at speed. Moisten the cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly as possible. Tie the nylon cord to the boat and route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Plug the transducer connector into the Fish ID 128. Your portable sonar is now ready for use. HULL 13

NOTE: Turning the unit off erases all user settings and it returns to the system defaults. For example, if you turn the lights on, then turn the unit off, the next time you turn the unit on, the lights will be off, since the default setting for the lights is off.

SENSITIVITY The sensitivity menu lets you control the unit’s ability to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other detail. High sensitivity settings lets you see features, but it can also clutter the screen with noise and other unwanted signals. Typically, the best sensitivity level shows a good, solid bottom signal with grayline. This unit adjusts the sensitivity level to keep a solid bottom signal on the screen. It adds a little ext

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, there are no fish. Practice with the unit when the Fish ID feature is on and off to become more familiar with Fish ID. To turn this feature off, press a menu key until the Fish ID feature’s menu appears as shown at right. Now press the down arrow key. To turn it on, repeat the ab
