Using step 4 above will 
make the fish finder 
inoperable at boat speeds 
over 5 mph (8 kph).

 

 

USING THE FISH FINDER THROUGH A BOAT HULL 

The fish finder’s advanced sonar capabilities allow it to 
“Shoot-Thru” the bottom of a boat or canoe.  The hull 
must be made out of solid fiberglass, or a maximum of 
1/8” aluminum, and be in direct contact with the water, 
with no air pockets. The unit will not work through wood, 
plastic, or any composite material. 

 

To “Shoot-Thru” the hull of a boat, do one of the 
following: 

A.

 

Place the sonar sensor in .5 inches of water against 
the hull bottom. 

B.

 

Coat the face of the sonar sensor with petroleum 
jelly and press it against the hull bottom with a 
twisting motion. 

C.

 

Place the sonar sensor in a plastic bag that is full of 
water and place against the hull bottom.

If  depth readings appear as “---” while using one of these methods, 
place the sonar sensor directly in the water to verify that the fish 
finder is operating properly.  If it operates properly while directly in 
the water, reposition the sensor in a new location in the hull, and 

repeat methods 

A, B, 

or

 C

.  These methods DO NOT work on all hulls and you 

may have to place the sensor directly in the water for proper operation.

 

USING THE FISH FINDER FOR ICE FISHING 

To achieve the best performance for ice fishing, you 
should cut a hole through the ice and place the sonar 
sensor directly in the water.  If you would like to check the 
area for depth or fish before cutting the hole, please 
follow steps 1 - 4 precisely.   
 

1.  Clear away snow to expose the ice surface.
