miliar water, or if you suspect
shallow water or submerged
objects, as water depth may
change too quickly to allow time
for you to react.
• Extremely dirty water, very soft
bottom, high speeds, deep water,
or a combination of the above
may result in incomplete or inac-
curate readings.
Setting the Measurement Unit
The depth readout and alarm functions
can be set to Feet (FT) or Meters (M).
The default unit is Feet. If Meter depth
readings are preferred, this must be set
for each use.
1) Press the “UP” and “DOWN” keys at
the same time.
2) To set the units to feet press the
“UP” key. “FT” will flash on the dis-
play.
3) To set the units to meters press the
“DOWN” key. “M” will flash on the
display.
4) The display automatically returns to
the normal mode after 5 seconds.
NOTE: Extremely dirty water, very soft
bottom, high speeds, deep water, or a
combination of the above may result in
incomplete or inaccurate readings.
Under these conditions variable read-
ings or “- - -” will be displayed.
Setting the Shallow Alarm
The Shallow Alarm function can be set
for depths ranging from 3 to 199 feet (1
to 60.3 meters). When the depth is less
than the chosen setting, the alarm is
triggered. The alarm sounds an audible
“alarm” for 10 seconds while flashing
the Warning LED, as well as the Alarm
indicator and Shallow Alarm indicator
on the display.
After 10 seconds the audible alarm
mutes, but the Warning LED and the
indicators continue to blink until the
depth increases, or the alarm is reset.
NOTE: Set the Shallow Alarm function
each time you wish to use it. The gauge
does not retain the setting after the
main switch is turned off.
1) Press the “UP” key located on the
front of the display. The current
alarm setting will be displayed on
the display. “000” is the default set-
ting (no alarm function).
2) Press the “UP” key again within 5
seconds to increase the selected
value (more water depth before
alarm). Press the “DOWN” key to

3. Fuel Level Gauge
The fuel level gauge 1 shows the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The
ignition switch must be in the “ON”
position to activate the gauge.
Always consider the distance you are
traveling and the amount of fuel you
have available. Be sure you have
enough fuel to reach your next fuel
stop. A good tip to remember is to use
a third of your fuel to get out, a third to
get back, and keep a third in reserve.
Low Fuel Warning Indicator – If the fuel
tank is too low to continue normal oper-
ation much longer, this warning light
will come on. Refill the fuel tank as
soon as possible (see “Filling the Fuel
Tank,” page 3-2).

Alarm Indicator
The Depth Sounder continually moni-
tors and displays a reading of water
depths from 2.5 to 200 feet (0.8 to 61
meters). The instrument calculates the
depth by emitting sound signals and
measuring how long it takes for the
sound to “echo” off the bottom. In addi-
tion, the gauge can be set for each use
to give an alarm when a specified shal-
low-water or deep-water depth is
reached.
• The depth sounder should not be
used as a navigational aid to pre-
vent grounding, boat damage, or
personal injury. Always operate
the boat at slow speeds in unfa-
