tune the unit, simply press a menu key. This unit has powerful features
available through easy-to-use menus.
TogetstartedwithyourEaglesonar,firstreadtheinstallationsection.This
is where it all begins. Improper installation can cause problems down the
road. After you’ve read the instructions, install the unit, then read the rest

NOTICE!
The storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees
Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celcius). Extended storage in tempera-
tures higher or lower than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your
unit. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty. For more information,
contact the factory customer service department or your local service center.

INSTALLATION - Bracket
You can install the unit on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the
suppliedbracket. Itcan alsobe installedin thedash withanoptionalIDA-
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
overheadmounting positions.Installation instructionsforthe in-dashand
swivel mounting kits are supplied with the adapter kits.

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 installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is
right for your boat. Use extreme care when mounting the transducer,
since the transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installa-
tion. If it isn’t done properly, the sonar can’t perform at it’s designed
potential.
Location - General
1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow
of water at all times. If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of
water, interference will show on the sonar’s display in the form of ran-
dom lines or dots whenever the boat is moving.
2. The transducer should be installed with it’s face pointing straight
down, if possible.
3. Make certain the transducer's location doesn’t interfere with the
trailer or hauling of the boat. Also, don’t mount it closer than approxi-
mately one foot from the engine’s lower unit. This will prevent cavitation
interference with the propeller. Typically, the transducer should be
mounted as deep in the water as possible. This increases the chance
that it will be in the water in high speed and reduces the possiblity of air
bubble interference.

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.
2. Slide the transducer between the two ratchets. Temporally slide the
bolt though the transducer assembly and hold it against the transom.
Looking at the transducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust so
that its face is parallel to the ground.If it does, then the“A” position is
correctforyourhull.Ifthetransducer’sfaceisn’tparallelwiththeground,
DOT
Transducer Assembly and Mounting
The best way to install this transducer is to loosely assemble all of the
parts first, then place the transducer’s bracket against the transom and
see if you can move the transducer so that it’s parallel with the ground.
1. Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracket
as shown below. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet.
Place each ratchet into the bracket with the letter“A” aligned with the
dotstamped intothe metalbracket.Thisposition setsthe transducer’s
coarse angle adjustment for a fourteen (14) degree transom. Most
outboard and stern-drive transoms have a fourteen degree angle.

place the transducer on the transom correctly.
3. Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble
the transducer as shown below.Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.

4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom.The
transducershould beroughly parallel totheground.The bottomofthe
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.
5. Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the
cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown below. At-
tach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or down
until it’s aligned properly on the transom as shown below.Tighten the

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
otherwiring ontheboat.Electrical noisefromthe 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 off at
high speed.
7. Make a test run to determine the results. If the bottom is lost at high
speed, or if noise appears on the display, try sliding the transducer
bracket down.This puts the transducer deeper into the water, hope-
fully below the turbulence causing the noise. Don't allow the trans-
ducer bracket to go below the bottom of the hull!

Fish Arches
If you do not get good fish arches on your display, it could be the
transducer is not parallel with the ground when the boat is at rest in the
water, or at slow trolling speeds. If the arch slopes up, but not back
down, then the front of the transducer is too high and needs to be
lowered. If only the back half the the arch is printed, then the nose of the
transducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised.

customize the unit to your particular needs and water conditions. All you
have to do to leave one menu and enter another is press a menu key
repeatedly.Ifyouevergetlostinthemenus,simplypressthePWR/CLEAR

Menus change depending on the mode the unit is in. For example, if the
automatic mode is turned off, the sensitivity menu changes from “AUTO
SENS” to “MAN SENS.” Other messages may appear in menu boxes or
new menus can appear, again depending on previous selections.

5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 100, 200, and 300 meters.
ZOOM
The zoom feature enlarges all echoes on the screen. If the unit is in the
automatic mode, it tracks the bottom signal, always keeping it near the
bottom of the screen. This lets you see small detail, at the same time

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 extra when it’s in the automatic mode. This gives it
the capability to show fish and other detail. However, situations occur

The Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish.
The microcomputer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter,

targets are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols on the screen in
place of the actual fish echoes. There are three symbol sizes: small,
