advantage of the optional BroadView™ transducer. See page 12 for

information on the FishView™ feature that uses this transducer.

INSTALLATION - Bracket

Youcan install theX-45 on thetop of adash or froman overhead withthe

suppliedbracket. Itcan also be installed inthe dashwith anoptional IDA-

3 or IDA-4 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be

interested in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. This converts the X-

45's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount which can be used on the dash or

overheadmounting positions.Installation instructionsfor thein-dash and

swivel mounting kits are supplied with the adapter kits.

Mount the X-45 in any convenient location, provided there is clearance

of plywood on the back side of thin panels to reinforce the panel. Make

certain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and

transducer cables.

POWER CONNECTIONS

The X-45 works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run

thepowercabledirectlytotheboat’sbattery. Keepthepowercableaway

fromotherboatwiring,especiallytheengine’swires. Thiswillgivethebest

isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough to

reachthebattery,splice#18gaugeinsulatedwiretoit.Ifyoudoextendthe

powercable,makecertaintoattachthein-linefuseholdersuppliedwiththe

X-45to thebatteryor powersource.This willprotect boththeunit andthe

power cable in the event of a short. Use only a 3-amp fuse.

IMPORTANT!

Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable!

Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty!

You can also attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss,

however, you may have problems with electrical interference.

This units has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the

power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires

are attached correctly.
