Portable Sonar Installation

Like many Eagle products, the Cuda 240 sonar is capable of portable operation. It uses the optional PPP-12 portable power pack.

The power pack and portable transducers expand the uses for your so- nar. You can use your Cuda 240 sonar 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. (An alternative to the PPP-12 is the PPP-15 portable power pack, which was designed especially for ice fishing. It includes a rechargeable gel cell battery and a transducer designed for stationary use. The entire rig is contained in a carry bag that fits inside a five- gallon plastic bucket.)

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 simply 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

Release the latch on the front of the power pack case. Open the com- partment and install eight AA batteries into the adapter. For the long- est life, we recommend you use alkaline batteries.
