MOUNTING TIPS When selecting mounting positions for the MA V Monitor , Power Spool and Footpad, carefully consider your personal fishing preferences. Are you a back-trolling walleye angler? A panfishe.
Mounting continued Bass Boats : For any angler who spends the majority of the time fishing from the bow of the boat, we recommend mounting the MA V Monitor , Footpad and PowerSpool in the front (bow). This lets you easily view the MA V monitor while also running the trolling motor and casting.
Installing your MA V Before starting the mounting process (drilling holes, etc.), map out the precise location of each compo- nent, as well as how cables will be run from plug to plug.
Installing your MA V continued (4) Connecting to Batter y : MA V is powered by your boat’ s 12-volt batter y system. NOTE : The power cable is protected with a 12-volt 15-amp circuit breaker to guard against unit failure should a short occur in your 12-volt system.
Operating your MA V T o begin operating your MAV unit, (1) release the camera housing from the PowerSpool by unhooking the rubber strap located on end of PowerSpool. In order to turn the unit on and begin viewing, it is not necessary to turn on the MA V LCD Monitor .
MA V Features continued Depth-T ech - This on-screen feature displays depth of the MA V camera. Viewing fish and structural -elements in relation to their exact depth greatly enhances the fishing experience.

MA V VIEWING TIPS Begin underwater viewing by lowering the MAV camera to within 1 to 2 feet of the bot- tom. The bottom provides a solid point of reference that helps you perceive sizes of fish and objects below . The MA V camera is set up to view horizontally , so you can see bottom and fish all around your position.
VIEWING TIPS — WHILE FISHING Y our Aqua-Vu MA V is an invaluable fishing tool — a giant leap beyond mysterious flashes and unidenti- fied “fish” on a depthfinder . Aqua-V u enables you to actually “see” the real picture! Fish and view simultaneously .
Frequently Asked Questions How far can I see? Naturally , the clearer the water , the farther you can see. As a general rule, the camera can see twice as far in water as the human eye. Generally , if you can see 3 feet down in the water , you will be able to see approximately 6 feet in front of the camera.
