Using this Airmar transducer is quite straightforward. First, make sure your boat's hull is fiberglass or wood and is at least 8 m (25') long. Then, install it according to the instructions, ensuring the deadrise angle of your boat is between 16° and 24°. When in use, it will automatically detect the depth and water temperature, giving you accurate readings. The high - frequency CHIRPS from 150 kHz to 250 kHz will help you spot fish effectively. For maintenance, keep the acoustic window (made of urethane) clean. You can gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Also, check the power rating regularly; it's rated at 1 kW @ 1% duty cycle. If you notice any issues with the readings or performance, check the connections and consult the manual. Remember, this transducer offers a great view under the boat, so use it to your advantage when fishing.
