Attach the unit to the bracket by first connecting the power/transducer
and accessory cables. Then, hold the sonar unit vertically and slide it
onto the bracket from above. (The back of the unit should be touching
the front of the bracket as you lower it into position.) As you push
down, the unit will lock into place with a distinct click.
To adjust the viewing angle, pinch the ratchets with one hand, then tilt
the unit with your other hand. Release the ratchets and the unit locks
into the new position. To dismount the unit for storage, press the ratch-
ets and lift the unit off the bracket.
Portable Sonar Installation
Like many Eagle products, the Cuda 300 sonar is capable of portable
operation. It uses the optional PPP-12 portable power pack.
The PPP-12 package includes the power pack, battery adapter and a port-
able transducer. The transducer can be stored inside the power pack. The
PPP-12 requires eight AA alkaline batteries. Batteries are not included.
To use a portable power pack, you install the batteries and then attach
the sonar unit to the power pack's bracket. Plug in the
power/transducer cable and you're ready to fish.
The PPP-12 has a quick-release mounting bracket built into the case.
Installing the Batteries
Open the case and lay it flat. (The latch is located below the handle.)
Insert eight "AA" size batteries into the battery adapter and place it in
the battery compartment. Slip the battery cover tabs into the slots in
the case wall, then close the battery cover with the thumb screw.
Plug the cable's power (dog bone-shaped) connector into the socket on
the battery compartment cover. Route the cable's unit connector and
about 6 inches (15.2 cm) of cable through the opening under the sonar
mount. Close the case bottom, using the slot in the case wall to avoid
pinching the cable. Turn the unit over to mount the sonar.
