2 Transducer Installation Some of the models covered by this manual have a transom-mount transducer included. The following are installation instructions for this transducer. The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer strikes an object while the boat is moving.
3 Shoot-thru-hull v.s. Transom Mounting (X-28 and X-38 Only) Typically, shoot-thru-hull installations give excellent high speed opera- tion and good to excellent depth capability. There is no possibility of damage from floating objects. It can't be knocked off when docking or loading on the trailer.
4 2. Slide the tr ansducer between the two ratchets. T emporally slide the bolt though the transducer assemb ly and hold it against the transom. Looking at the transducer from the side , check to see if it will adjust so that its f ace is parallel to the g round.

6 5. Remo ve the transducer from the br ack et and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the br ack et ov er the bolt as shown abov e. At- tach the transducer to the tr ansom. Slide the transducer up or down until it’ s aligned properly on the transom as shown abo ve.
7 NUT FLAT WASHER BOLT 2. Slide the adjustable strap supplied with the TMB-S through the slot in the transducer bracket and wrap it around the trolling motor. Position the transducer to aim straight down when the motor is in the water. Tighten the strap securely.
8 SHOOT-THRU-HULL (X-28 and X-38 Only) The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an area that does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglass layers.
9 TRANSDUCER LOCATION (HIGH SPEED) TRANSDUCER LOCATION (TROLLING SPEED) 2. Follow the instructions on the epoxy package and mix it thoroughly. Do not mix it too fast, as it will cause bubbles to form in the epoxy.

11 3 amp FUSE 12 VOLT BATTERY BLACK WIRE RED WIRE TO SPEED/TEMP SENSOR (X-38 and X-48 ONLY) POWER CONNECTIONS - All units This unit works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires.
12 Bracket Installation You can install the sonar unit on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional IDA-3 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit.
13 SPEED/TEMPERATURE SENSORS The X-38 and X-48 can use up to three optional temperature sensors which can monitor surface water, live well, air, and virtually any other tempera- ture. You do need to be careful when purchasing the temperature sensors, however.
14 Sensor Chart (Note: Do not use these sensors in any other combination.) ST-TBK = 1 speed sensor and 1 temperature display ST-T BK + TS-2BK = 2 temp sensors and one speed sensor ST-TBK + TS-2BK + TS.

16 KEYBOARD BASICS The unit sounds a tone when you press any key. This tells you the unit has ac- cepted a command. PWR/CLEAR Use this key to turn the unit on. It also clears menu selections and the menus from the screen. This key also turns the unit off.
17 OPERATION MENUS This unit uses menus to guide you through the unit’s functions and features. The menu key accesses these features, allowing you to cus- tomize the unit to your particular needs and water conditions. All you have to do to leave one menu and enter another is press the menu key repeatedly.
18 After you select the desired range, press the PWR key to clear the display. If you wait a few seconds, it will automatically clear. This unit has the following ranges: 10, 20, 40, 60, 120, 240, 480, and 900 feet. and 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 100, 200, and 300 meters.
19 This means the unit is tracking the bottom in a zoom window, always keeping it on the display. Press the up arrow key to decrease the zoom size, press the down arrow key to increase the zoom size. When the unit is switched into the zoom mode, the letters “ZM” appear at the top of the screen.
20 RANGE - Upper and Lower Limits You can change the upper and lower range limits when the unit is in the manual mode. This lets you "zoom" in on segments of the water as small as 10 feet. In other words, you can set the upper limit to 25 feet and the lower limit to 35 feet, regardless of the bottom depth.
21 SENSITIVITY The sensitivity menu lets you control the unit’s ability to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other detail. High sensitivity settings lets you see features, but it can also clutter the screen with noise and other unwanted signals.
22 Grayline ® is adjustable. Since it shows the difference between strong and weak echoes, changing the level may require a different sensitivity setting. To change the Grayline level, first press the MENU key until the Grayline menu appears. Now press the up arrow key to increase the level, the down arrow to decrease it.
23 The Fish ID feature can’t be used when the unit is in the manual mode. If you turn the automatic feature off, the Fish ID feature will automatically be turned off, also. FISH TRACK™ This unit automatically displays the depth of a target when the Fish ID feature places a fish symbol on the screen as shown below.
24 CHART SPEED The rate echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. It’s adjustable by pressing the menu key until the chart speed menu appears. Chart speed is set to maxi- mum when the unit is first turned on. To decrease it, press the down arrow key.
25 DISPLAY MODE The X-28 has three different screen modes. The X-38 and X-48 both have eight modes. To change modes, press the MENU key until the “DISP MODE” (Display Mode) menu appears. Then press the up or down arrow keys until the desired mode number appears.
26 X-38 and X-48 ONLY CHT 1 (Chart #1) This is the default mode used when the unit is first turned on. It has the following features: 1. Automatic On 2. Fish ID Feature On 3. Digital Depth Display On CHT 2 (Chart #2) Same as Chart-1, but with water tempera- ture added.
27 X-38 and X-48 ONLY (cont.) CHT 4 (Chart #4) Same as Chart-1, but with water tempera- ture and speed added. CHT 5 (Chart #5) This is the High Speed Scroll mode. It shifts the chart speed into high gear, scrolling ech- oes at a high rate. It has the following fea- tures: 1.
28 X-38 and X-48 ONLY (cont.) DIG 2 (Digital #2) Digital depth, water temperature, speed, and distance log (odometer) show on this page. To reset the log, turn the unit off and back on again. DIG 3 (Digital #3) Digital depth, water temperature, T-2 tem- perature, and T-3 temperature all show on this screen.
29 ALARMS FISH ALARM The Fish Alarm sounds a tone when a fish symbol appears on the screen. To use the fish alarm, press the menu key until the “FISH ALARM” menu appears on the screen. Now press the up arrow key to turn the alarm on. Repeat the above steps to turn the fish alarm off.
30 Deep Alarm The deep alarm adjusts the same as the shallow alarm. Use the “DEEP ALARM” menu to adjust the deep alarm. When the bottom signal goes deeper than the setting, an alarm tone sounds. LIGHTS The display is backlighted for night use. To turn the backlights on or off, press the menu key repeatedly until the BACK LIGHT menu appears.
31 reach the maximum or minimum level, a tone sounds alerting you to the limits. The menu will clear automatically after a few seconds or you can press the PWR key to clear the screen. ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) ASP is a program embedded in the computer that is specifically designed to eliminate noise.
32 TROUBLESHOOTING - IMPORTANT INFORMATION! If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit.
33 the digital will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far greater than the water you are in. If this happens, place the unit in the manual mode, then change the range to a realistic one, (for example, 0- 100 feet) and increase the sensitivity.
34 ELECTRICAL NOISE A major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise. This usually appears on the sonar’s display as random patterns of dots or lines. In severe cases, it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unit operate erratically, or not at all.
