1.4.1 Single frequency display
Low frequency (50 kHz)
The sounder uses ultrasound pulse signals to
detect bottom conditions. The lower the fre-
quency of the signal, the wider the detection
area. Therefore, the 50 kHz frequency is use-
ful for general detection and judging bottom
condition.
High frequency (200 kHz)
The higher the frequency of the ultrasound
pulse signal, the better the resolution. For this
reason the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for de-
tailed observation of schools of fish.

1.10 Picture Advance
Speed
The picture advance speed determines how
quickly the vertical scan lines run across the
screen. When selecting a picture advance
speed, keep in mind that a fast advance
speed will expand the size of a school of fish
horizontally on the screen and a slow ad-
vance speed will contract the school. Use a
fast advance speed to observe a rugged bot-
tom, and use a slow advance speed to moni-
tor a smooth bottom.

1.15 Fish Information
(ACCU-FISH
TM
)
The ACCU-FISH
TM
feature measures the
length of individual fish and tags the fish with
a fish symbol whose size is proportional to the
length of the fish. The length or depth of the
fish can be indicated digitally. Connection to a
transducer that supports ACCU-FISH
TM
is re-
quired.
Note: The fish length calculated by this fish
finder is intended for reference purposes; it is
not a completely accurate measurement of
fish length.
Considerations for ACCU-FISH

[Fish Symbols] setting box
The 600 W transducers which support
ACCU-FISH
TM
are 520-5PSD, 520-5MSD,
525-5PWD, 525STID-MSD and
525STID-PWD.
To display fish marks and fish size using a
1 kW transducer, the integrated transducer
50/200-1T or 50/200-12M is recommended.
Echo intensity depends on fish species.
When the fish length differs between the in-
dicated length and the actual length, you
can compensate the difference on the
[Calib] menu (see section 2.6).
ACCU-FISH
TM
is inoperative when the zero
line rejector is active.
High and low frequencies are alternately
transmitted when ACCU-FISH
TM
is active,
regardless of mode selection.
A fish whose depth is shallower than 2 m or
greater than 100 m cannot be measured.
If the transducer is installed inside the hull,
the signal is attenuated by the hull. There-
fore, a fish may not be detected or the fish
length indicated may be shorter than actual
length.
In a school of fish, echoes overlap one an-
other, so the margin of error will be greater.
The bottom echo must be present to show
the fish symbols.
The TX pulse length changes according to
ACCU-FISH
TM
On/Off state. This causes a
difference in both sensitivity and the echoes
viewed.

1.16 Bottom Discrimi-
nation Display
The bottom discrimination display analyzes
the bottom echo to categorize bottom hard-
ness in one of four types (rocks, gravel, sand,
mud) and shows the results in a colorful
graphic display. A transducer or triducer that
supports the bottom discrimination display is
required.
There are two bottom discrimination displays:
graphic and probability.
Graphic display: The most probable material
on the bottom (mud, sand, gravel, rock) is in-
dicated graphically.

1.21 Menu Description
This section describes menu items not previ-
ously mentioned. For the [System] menu, see
chapter 2.
Sounder menu
[Zoom Mode]: Select the zoom display (bot-
tom lock, bottom zoom and marker zoom) to
show when "ZOOM" is selected with the
MODE knob. For details, see page 3 and 4.
[White Line]: Display the leading edge of the
bottom echo in white to help you distinguish
bottom fish from the bottom echo.
1) Select [White Line] and press the ENTER
key.
2) Set the width. The larger the number the
greater the width of the line. Select [Edge]
to show the contour of the bottom in white.
3) Press the ENTER key.
[White Marker]: Display the selected echo
color in white.
1. Select [White Marker] in the [Sounder]
menu and press the ENTER key.
2. Use or to select color desired. For
example, move the arrow to the top of the
color bar to display the bottom echo in
white. The echo color chosen on the color
bar is changed to white. That color is also
white on the color bar.
To turn off the white marker, select [Off].
4. To restore the original color, move the ar-
row to [Off] and press the ENTER key.
[TVG]: Two schools of fish of the same size
are displayed in different colors between deep
water and in shallow water because of the
feature of the ultrasound waves. TVG com-
pensates for propagation attenuation of the
ultrasound waves. It does this by equalizing
echo presentation so that the schools of fish
of the same size appear in the same color
(echo strength) in both shallow and deep wa-
ters. The gain is adjusted automatically de-
pending on the depth. The gain is low at short
distance and increases over distance. [High]
provides the greatest degree of gain reduction
against short range echoes.
Note: Auto gain must be disabled to use the
TVG.
[Smoothing]: Smooth echo presentation
when enabled. Turn smoothing on when ech-
oes appear "spotty" or jagged.

3. Use or to move upper or lower bor-
der and press the ENTER key.
[TX Power]: Interference may appear on the
screen when an echo sounder having the
same frequency as your own is being operat-
ed in the vicinity of your vessel. In this case,
lower your TX power and contact the vessel to
request them to reduce their TX power. The
higher the numeric the greater the TX power.
The [Auto] setting automatically adjusts TX
power with depth.
Note: The bottom discrimination and ACCU-
FISH
TM
features must be disabled to use this
feature. If one of those is On, the TX power
setting is automatically switched to Auto.
[TX Rate]: Change pulse repetition rate. Nor-
mally, the highest rate (10) is used. When in
shallow waters second reflection echoes may
appear between the surface and actual bot-
tom echo. In this case, lower the TX rate level.
The setting [MAX] automatically adjusts the
frequency and pulse length with depth. The
[S] setting, which requires speed data, selects
the TX rate according to your boats speed. A
high rate for fast speed; a slow rate for slow
speed.
Note: The TX rate may not change when [Pic.
Sync] in the Tankenmaru menu is set to [Yes].
This is because of the communications speed
limitation between this unit and Shimanos re-
ceiver.
Display menu
[Depth Size]: Select the font size of the depth
indication ([Small], [Medium] or [Large]).
[Zoom Marker]: Turn the zoom marker on or
off (on the single frequency display) when the

4.2 Display Unit
Mounting considerations
The display unit can be installed on a desktop,
or flush mounted in a console. When choos-
ing a location keep the following in mind:
Locate the unit away from the air from air
conditioners.
The operating temperature range is 5F to
131F.
Locate the unit away from devices that emit
active gas.
The mounting location must be well venti-
lated.
Select a location where vibration and shock
are minimal.
Select a location out of direct sunlight. Pro-
longed exposure to direct sunlight can
cause LCD blackout.
A magnetic compass will be affected if the
display unit is placed too close to the com-
pass. Observe the compass safe distances
in the safety instructions to prevent distur-
bance to the compass.

4.3 Thru-hull Mount
Transducer
Transducer mounting location
The thru-hull mount transducer provides the
best performance of all, since the transducer
protrudes from the hull and the effect of air
bubbles and turbulence near the hull skin is
reduced. When the boat has a keel, the trans-
ducer should be at least 30 cm away from it.
The performance of this fish finder is directly
related to the mounting location of the trans-
ducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The
installation should be planned in advance,
keeping the length of the transducer cable
and the following factors in mind:
Air bubbles and turbulence caused by
movement of the boat seriously degrade
the sounding capability of the transducer.
The transducer should, therefore, be locat-
ed in a position where water flow is the
smoothest. Noise from the propellers also
adversely affects performance and the
transducer should not be mounted nearby.
The lifting strakes are notorious for creating
acoustic noise, and these must be avoided
by keeping the transducer inboard of them.
The transducer must always remain sub-
merged, even when the boat is rolling,
pitching or up on a plane at high speed.
A practical choice would be somewhere be-
tween 1/3 and 1/2 of the boat's length from
the stern. For planing hulls, a practical loca-
tion is generally rather far astern, so that
the transducer is always in water regard-
less of the planing attitude.

Suitable transducer mounting locations
Procedure for installation of the thru-hull
mount transducer
1. With the boat hauled out of the water,
mark the location chosen for mounting
the transducer on the bottom of the hull.
2. If the hull is not level within 15 in any di-
rection, fairing blocks made out of teak
should be used between the transducer
and hull, both inside and outside, to keep
the transducer face parallel with the water
line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown
below and make the entire surface as
smooth as possible to provide an undis-
turbed flow of water around the transduc-
er. The fairing block should be smaller
than the transducer itself to provide a
channel to divert turbulent water around
the sides of the transducer rather than
over its face.
Construction of fairing block
3. Drill a hole just large enough to pass the
threaded stuffing tube of the transducer
through the hull, making sure it is drilled
vertically.
4. Apply a sufficient amount of high quality
caulking compound to the top surface of
the transducer, around the threads of the
stuffing tube and inside the mounting hole
(and fairing blocks if used) to ensure wa-
tertight mounting.
5. Mount the transducer and fairing blocks
and tighten the locknut. Be sure that the
transducer is properly oriented and its
working face is parallel to the waterline.

Note: Do not over-stress the stuffing tube and
locknut through excessive tightening, since
the wood block will swell when the boat is
placed in the water. It is suggested that the
nut be tightened lightly at installation and re-
tightened several days after the boat has
been launched.
Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face
of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent
liquid soap. This will lessen the time neces-
sary for the transducer to have good contact
with the water. Otherwise the time required for
complete "saturation" will be lengthened and
performance will be reduced.
DO NOT paint the transducer. Performance
will be affected.
4.4 Transom Mount
Transducer
The optional transom mount transducer is
very commonly employed, usually on relative-
ly small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this
method on an inboard motor boat because
turbulence is created by the propeller ahead
of the transducer.
DO NOT overtighten screws; they may be
damaged.
525-5PWD mounting locations
Select the installation method depending on
the rise angle of the hull.
Installation procedure
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm
away from the engine and where the water
flow is smooth.
1. Drill four pilot holes for self-tapping screw
(5x20) in the mounting location.
2. Coat the threads of the self-tapping
screws (5x14) for the transducer with sili-
cone sealant for waterproofing. Attach the
transducer to the mounting location with
the self-tapping screws.
3. Adjust the transducer position so the
transducer faces right to the bottom. If
necessary, to improve water flow and
minimize air bubbles staying on the trans-
ducer face, incline the transducer about
5 at the rear. This may require a certain
amount of experimentation for fine tuning
at high cruising speeds.

4.5 How to Mount a
Thru-hull Trans-
ducer Inside the
Hull
The thru-hull mount transducer may also be
installed inside the hull on FRP boats. Howev-
er, this installation method affects the ability to
detect the bottom, fish and other objects be-
cause the ultrasound pulse is weakened
when it passes through the hull.
Note: This mounting method should not be
used to mount the transducer that supports
the bottom discrimination display feature,
since performance is greatly degraded.
Necessary tools
You will need the following tools:
Remarks on installation
Installation procedure
If the thickness of the hull varies, then the at-
tenuation of the ultrasound pulse. Select a lo-
cation where attenuation is the lowest.
1. Select 2-3 locations considering the four
points mentioned below. (You will finalize
the mounting location through some trial
and error later.)
Mount the transducer at a location 1/2
to 1/3 of the length of the boat from the
stern.
The mounting location is between 15 to
50 cm from the centerline of the hull.
Do not place the transducer over hull
struts or ribs which run under the hull.
Avoid a location where the rising angle
of the hull exceeds 15, to minimize the
effect of the boat's rolling.

use the sandpaper to roughen the inside
of the hull where the transducer is to be
mounted.
3. Wipe off any sandpaper dust from the
face of the transducer.
4. Dry the face of the transducer and the
hull. Coat the transducer face and mount-
ing location with silicone sealant. Harden-
ing begins in approx. 15-20 minutes so do
this step without delay.
5. Attach the transducer to the hull.
Press the transducer firmly down on the
hull and gently twist it back and forth to re-
move any air which may be trapped in the
silicone sealant.
6. Check the picture as follows:
1) Connect the power/data and trans-
ducer cables to the display unit.
2) Turn on the display unit.
3) Rotate the MODE knob to select sin-
gle frequency (LF: 50 kHz or HF: 200
kHz).
4) Push the GAIN knob to open the [Auto
Gain] setting window.
5) Push the GAIN knob to select [Off]
6) Rotate the GAIN knob to set the gain
to "5".
7) Press the RANGE key to open the
[Range] setting window.
8) Use to select [Manual].
9) Push the RANGE key to set the range
to 10 feet (or 30 meters).
10)Press the ENTER key.
Case 1
If the bottom is displayed in reddish brown
the installation is suitable. Go to step 8.
Case 2
If the bottom is not displayed in reddish
brown, go to step 7.
7. Change the mounting location for the
transducer.
1) Turn off the power.
2) Gently dismount the transducer with a
knife or a piece of wood.
3) Attach the transducer to a different lo-
cation, referring to steps 2-6.
8. Support the transducer with a piece of
wood to keep it in place while the sealant
is drying. It takes 24-72 hours to harden
completely.

Pre-test for speed and temperature
Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin
the paddlewheel. Check for a speed reading
and the approximate air temperature. If there
is no reading, return the sensor to your place
of purchase.
Tools and materials needed
Mounting location
To ensure the best performance, the sensor
must be submerged in aeration-free and tur-
bulence-free water. Mount the sensor close to
the centerline of the boat. On slower heavier
displacement hulls, positioning it farther from
the centerline is acceptable.
Allow adequate space above the bracket for it
to release and rotate the sensor upward.
Note 1: Do not mount the sensor in an area of
turbulence or bubbles: near water intake or
discharge openings; behind strakes, struts,
fittings, or hull irregularities; behind eroding
paint (an indication of turbulence).
Note 2: Avoid mounting the sensor where the
boat may be supported during trailering,
launching, hauling, and storage.
Note 3: For single drive boat, mount on the
starboard side at least 75 mm (3") beyond the
swing radius of the propeller.

Note 4: For twin drive boat, mount between
the drives.
Installation of bracket
1. Cut out the installation template (en-
closed with transducer) along the dotted

3. Using a 4 mm, #23, or 9/64" bit, drill three
holes 22 mm (7/8") deep at the locations
indicated. To prevent drilling too deeply,
wrap masking tape around the bit 22 mm
(7/8") from the point.
Fiberglass hull: Minimize surface crack-
ing by chamfering the gelcoat. If a cham-
fer bit or countersink bit is not available,
start drilling with a 6mm or 1/4" bit to a
depth of 1 mm (1/16").
4. If you know your transom angle, the
bracket is designed for a standard 13
transom angle.
11-18 angle: No shim is required. Skip
to step 3 in "Adjustments".
Other angles: The shim is required. Skip
to step 2 of "Adjustments".
If you do not know the transom angle,
temporarily attach the bracket and sensor
to the transom to determine if the plastic
shim is needed.
5. Using the three #10 x 1-1/4" self-tapping
screws, temporarily screw the bracket to
the hull. DO NOT tighten the screws com-
pletely at this time. Follow the step 1-4 in
"Attaching the sensor to the bracket", be-
fore proceeding with "Adjusting".
Adjustments
1. Using a straight edge, sight the underside
of the sensor relative to the underside of
the hull. The stern of the sensor should be
1-3 mm (1/16-1/8") below the bow of the
sensor or parallel to the bottom of the hull.
Note: Do not position the bow of the sen-
sor lower than the stern because aeration
will occur.
2. To adjust the sensor's angle relative to
the hull, use the tapered plastic shim pro-
vided. If the bracket has been temporarily
fastened to the transom, remove it. Key
the shim in place on the back of the brack-
et.
2-10 transom angle (stepped tran-
som and jet boats): Position the shim
with the tapered end down.
19-22 transom angle (small alumi-
num and fiberglass boats): Position the
shim with the tapered end up.
Sensor position and transom angle
3. If the bracket has been temporarily fas-
tened to the transom, remove it. Apply a
marine sealant to the threads of the three
#10 x 1-1/4" self tapping screws to pre-
vent water seeping into the transom.
Screw the bracket to the hull. Do not tight-
en the screws completely at this time.
4. Repeat step 1 to ensure that the angle of
the sensor is correct.
Note: Do not position the sensor farther
into the water than necessary to avoid in-
creasing drag, spray, and water noise
and reducing boat speed.
5. Using the vertical adjustment space on
the bracket slots, slide the sensor up or
down to provide a projection of 3 mm (1/
8"). Tighten the screws.

Attaching the sensor to the bracket
1. If the retaining cover near the top of the
bracket is closed, open it by depressing
the latch and rotating the cover down-
ward.
Attaching the sensor to the bracket
2. Insert the sensor's pivot arms into the
slots near the top of the bracket.
3. Maintain pressure until the pivot arms
click into place.
4. Rotate the sensor downward until the bot-
tom snaps into the bracket.
5. Close the retaining cover to prevent the
accidental release of the sensor when the
boat is underway.
Cable routing
Route the sensor cable over the transom,
through a drain hole, or thorough a new hole
drilled in the transom above the waterline.
Never cut the cable or remote the connector;
this will void the warranty. Always wear safety
goggles and a dust mask.
1. If a hole must be drilled, choose a location
well above the waterline. Check for ob-
structions such as trim tabs, pumps, or
wiring inside the hull. Mark the location
with a pencil. Drill a hole through the tran-
som using a 19 mm or 3/4" bit (to accom-
modate the connector).
2. Route the cable over or through the tran-
som.
3. On the outside of the hull secure the cable
against the transom using the cable
clamps. Position a cable clamp 50 mm
(2") above the bracket and mark the
mounting hole with a pencil.
4. Position the second cable clamp halfway
between the first clamp and the cable
hole. Mark this mounting hole.
5. If a hole has been drilled in the transom,
open the appropriate slot in the transom
cable cover. Position the cover over the
cable where it enters the hull. Mark the
two mounting holes.
6. At each of the marked locations, use a 3
mm or 1/8" bit to drill a hole 10 mm (3/8")
deep. The prevent drilling too deeply,
wrap masking tape around the bit 10 mm
(3/8") from the point.
7. Apply marine sealant to the threads of the
#6 x 1/2" self-tapping screw to prevent
water from seeping into the transom. If
you have drilled a hole through the tran-
som, apply marine sealant to the space
around the cable where it passes through
the transom.
8. Position the two cable clamps and fasten
them in place. If used, push the cable cov-
er over the cable and screw it in place.
9. Route the cable to the instrument being
careful not to tear the cable jacket when
passing it though the bulkhead(s) and
other parts of the boat. To reduce electri-
cal interference, separate the sensor ca-
ble from other electrical wiring and "noise"
sources. Coil any excess cable and se-
cure it in place with zip-ties to prevent
damage.

For FRP vessel, attach a steel plate mea-
suring 20 cm by 30 cm on the outside of the
hull to provide a ground point. Connect the
ground wire there.
Note 1: Use a ring-type lug ( ) to make
the connection at the display unit. Do not use
a fork-type lug ( ).
Note 2: For the boat with positive polarity DC
power and the fish finder is grounded to the
hull, external equipment cannot be connected
directly to the fish finder if the signal line of the
equipment is connected to ground.
External equipment
The [12-24 VDC/NMEA] port is commonly
used for connection of external equipment
such as a GPS receiver and/or wind indicator.
This port is also used to connect the radio
