Portable Installation

Like many Eagle products, this sonar unit is capable of portable opera- tion by using the optional PPP-13 portable power pack. The power pack and an optional portable transducer expand the uses for your sonar unit. The PPP-13 makes it easy to use the unit on your boat or take it to the dock, on a float tube, on an ice fishing trip or use it as a second sonar in a friend's boat.

The PPP-13 Portable Power Pack can be used with eight "D" cell alka- line batteries or an optional sealed, rechargeable battery. For set-up directions, refer to the pack's instruction sheet, part 988-0147-601.
