P-­160 Carrying Case Assembly Instructions
1. Locate the handle and the base
assembly. Locate the handle
assembly slots which are in the
middle of the base assembly.
With the SNAP LOCKS on the
handle facing the sonar unit
pedestal, align each side of the
handle with the handle assembly
slots, slowly press the handle
down into the slots until the
handle locks. THIS ASSEMBLY IS
NOT MADE TO BE TAKEN APART
ONCE THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY IS
LOCKED INTO THE BASE.
2. Mount the sonar gimbal bracket
to the unit pedestal. Line up the
holes in your bracket with the
mounting slots on each end of
the pedestal. Use the four plastic fasteners to secure it into place.
3. Set the battery into the battery compartment section. Push the battery
to the inside of this compartment -­ toward the handle. Place the foam
insert next to the battery. With a standard size lead acid or gel cell
battery the foam will give a snug fit and keep the battery from moving
around. The area behind will be left open and can be used for storage.
4. Attach your unit to the gimbal bracket and set the Ice Ducer into the
hole in the foam insert. Do not push the transducer so far into the hole
that it contacts the base as this will cause scratching of the transducer
face. Connect the unit to the battery and the Ice-­Ducer to the unit.
Wrap excess cable around the unit pedestal and secure in place with
cable ties if necessary.
5. OPTIONAL If you do not want to use the float provided with the Ice-­
Ducer you can use the supplied transducer support instead. This piece
slides into the vertical slots on either side of the base assembly. It can
be installed many different ways to fit your required position best. To
support the transducer simple pass the cord through the opening in the
hole and lower the transducer letting the stop rest in the hole. Try to
keep the transducer away from the side of the ice hole as this can
effect the cone angle.
6. OPTIONAL If you want to mount our Battery Status Indicator to your
case, there are predrilled holes and fasteners provided. With the unit
facing you, locate the three holes on the right side of the handle, the
two smaller holes are for mounting the indicator and the larger hole
between is for passing the wires through to the battery. Do not leave
the indicator connected to the battery for storage.
