The Portable Case
The Portable Case is designed for rugged use and provides storage for
the Battery Pack and the Portable Suction Cup Transducer and a mount for
the Fishfinder 100. The case is water resistant but is not designed to float in
the event it should go overboard.
Use the two square eyelets located by the handle to secure the
Fishfinder 100 Portable Case to the boat.
The Suction Cup Transducer
Using the Portable unit you will still need to find a suitable location for
the transducer. If you are in a slow moving boat such as a canoe or flat
bottom boat, the mounting location is not as critical. Follow these simple
guidelines and you should be fine.
1. Look for clean (non-turbulent) water
2. Mount the transducer with approximately 1/2” extending beyond the
bottom of the boat.
3. Do not mount the transducer behind strakes on the bottom of the boat
or in the path of a prop.
4. If you experience poor reception, try another location.
WARNING! Speeds in excess or 20 MPH may cause the
transducer to fly off and strike occupants of the boat.
Secure Fishfinder 100 to the
boat using the provided eyelets
