160 PERFORMANCE
In addition to the parts included you need the following for installation and operation:
• A powered hand drill and various drill bits
• Phillips and flat-head screw drivers
• A ruler or measuring tape
• Pen or pencil
• 12 volt power source (your boat’s battery)
• Silicone sealant (for sealing drilled holes)
• 2-part, slow-cure epoxy (for inside the hull transducer installations)
USING THE 160
160 Performance
The
160 Series
represents a new way of thinking about fishing electronics.
Combining state of the art electronics and paper chart recorder sonar
performance, it offers the best of the present and the past. Minimal, easy
to understand knob controls provide access to the most important features.
The
160
eliminates confusion created by too many buttons and menus.
High technology, high performance, with "back to basics" operation
makes the
160
the ideal choice of the serious angler.
The
160
uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects. Sonar
technology is based on sound waves sent into the water in a controlled
"beam" from the transducer. Objects within this beam reflect the sonar
signal back. The
160
very accurately measures the distance to these objects
based on the time it takes for the sonar to return. Each object (bottom, fish
or structure) reflects the sonar uniquely, providing information about its
makeup. The
160
draws this returned information on the display.
The
160
operates in a wide variety of water conditions, from 2’ to 600’.
Actual depth capability depends on many factors such as bottom hardness,
water conditions, and transducer installation. All sonar units typically read
to deeper depths in fresh water than saltwater.
