Introduction
Warning
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious
injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the Fishnder 90/140 to all available navigation sources, including information
from visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation.

Fishnder 90/140 Owner’s Manual 1
Getting Started
Getting Started
To get the most out of your new Fishnder:
• Before you install and use your Fishnder, read the
information in this manual.
• Assemble and install the hardware (page 5).
• Practice using your Fishnder in Simulator Mode
(page 4).
• Use the Fishnder (page 14).
Understanding the Fishnder
The Fishnder 90 or 140 is a fully automatic sonar unit
that allows you to go out on the water and nd sh without
having to congure a lot of settings; or, if from experience
you know exactly how you want your Fishnder screen to
look and function, you can customize each setting to your
specic needs.
If you have used a Fishnder before, and you know how
to interpret the sonar information on the screen, you can
skip this section. If you have not used a Fishnder before,
you might want to learn a bit about sonar: what it is, how it
works, and what you might see on the Fishnder 90 or 140
screen. This manual does not go into technical detail about
sonar, but it can give you a general understanding of those
things that you need to know about sonar that can help you
interpret the screen and nd the sh.
Understanding Sonar
During installation, you connect your Fishnder 90 or 140
to a transducer. The transducer uses sound to determine
information about what is in the water beneath your boat.
Then the transducer sends the information to your Fishnder
to be displayed on the screen for you to view and interpret.
The transducer sends sound waves down into the water
in a cone shape, similar to a ashlight beam (covering a
smaller circular area at the top and angling out to a larger
circular area at the bottom). These sound waves reect off
of any object that they hit, and then the waves travel back
up to the transducer. These objects could be sh, branches,
the bottom, or any other object that has density that is
different from the water. The transducer receives the sound

Getting Started
wave information, and then sends the information to the
Fishnder. The Fishnder displays the information on the
screen for you to see and interpret. The type of transducer
and settings you choose determine how the information is
shown on the screen.
Understanding Dual Beam Transducer
Coverage
A dual beam transducer can transmit a narrow or a wide
beam. The water area covered by the transmitted sound
waves is determined by the beam width of the transducer
and the water depth. The narrow beam provides crisp detail
of what is under your boat, and is helpful if you are shing
in deeper water where the beam covers more area (for
example, at a 30-foot depth, the narrow beam covers the
area of about a 7-foot circle).
Wide
Beam
Narrow
Beam
The wide beam is more helpful in shallow water, because
it gives you a much wider view of objects in the water,
including areas beyond the sides of your boat. At a 30-foot
depth, the wide beam covers the area of approximately a
20-foot circle.

Fishnder 90/140 Owner’s Manual 3
Getting Started
Understanding the Fishnder Screen
Experimentation and experience are the keys to successfully
interpreting your Fishnder screen. We recommend that you
take your Fishnder out on familiar water, and spend time
learning to interpret what you see on the Fishnder 90 or
140 screen.
Think of the Fishnder screen as if you took a picture
from the side of an aquarium in your home. You can see
how deep a sh is in the water (how close it is to the top
or bottom), but you cannot tell where the sh is located
horizontally in the water (whether it is near the front or the
back of the aquarium). Remember this when you are trying
to locate exactly where something is in the water.

indicator
The strongest sonar returns appear on your screen as solid,
dark areas. The weakest returns appear less intense, less
solid. The bottom of the water body returns the strongest
signal, so you can identify the bottom as the continuous,
solid line running across the bottom of the screen. The
strength of the sonar return can also help you interpret the
hardness of the bottom. The thicker the bottom line, the
harder the bottom.

4 Fishnder 90/140 Owner’s Manual
Getting Started
The Fishnder 90 and 140 include the latest technology
in interpreting bottom signals; they can see through sh,
structures, and thermoclines (shown in the weakest hues).
Even so, large schools of sh or dense structures close to
the bottom can affect water depth return readings.
NOTE: If the Fishnder is unable to track the bottom for
any reason, the digits which indicate depth ash on and off
to alert you that the Fishnder is not tracking the bottom.
Along the top of the screen, you might see a grouping of
intense hues. This area is surface clutter, which can be
caused by waves or any other sonar interference at the
surface of the water. Too much surface clutter can obscure
your view of sh. You can turn down the Gain setting to
reduce this surface clutter (page 15).
You can see in the previous illustration how the sh are
indicated in a few different ways. By default, sh appear
as arches. Actual sh returns might not always appear as
perfect arches, due to the speed, sh orientation, or other
conditions. You can also turn on the Fish Symbols setting if
you want to see suspended targets indicated by a sh shape
instead of arches (page 17).
Using Simulator Mode
Use Simulator Mode to practice and learn the operation of
the Fishnder. If the Fishnder does not detect a transducer
at startup, it automatically starts in Simulator Mode.
While in Simulator Mode, the Fishnder displays a bottom
scene, and you can control the Fishnder (except the Gain
and Auto Gain options) just as if it were on the water.
If no keys are pressed for two minutes, the Fishnder
automatically resets to default settings while in Simulator
Mode.
To exit Simulator Mode, turn off the Fishnder.
