The bottom contour, composition, and
landscape will be indicated on screen
as a series of “rock” indicators. The
more “rock” indicators that appear, the
rougher the bottom is.
• Rough bottom indicators represent
heavy rock or vegetation covering
the bottom (Figure 12). To avoid
being snagged on the bottom, be
careful not to get your lure or bait
too close to the bottom.
• Variable indicators may indicate
random rocks, stumps, grass, or
logs (Figure 13). Random blinking
indictors may represent a bottom
scattered with rocks, stumps, or
grass patches and should be fished
more aggressively, as this may indi-
cate prime hiding places for prey.
• Smooth bottom indicators represent
sandy or muddy bottom with no veg-
etation (Figure 14). Generally, this is
not the best place to target your prey
unless the fish that you are chasing
prefer this type of landscape.

Depth Readout
The depth readout on the right bottom corner (Figure 11) will
appear after the power is turned on and the transducer is
placed in water between 2.5’ and 120’. If the depth exceeds
these parameters, the depth meter will indicate “---”. This
reading may also be frequent in water that is extremely
dirty, or where heavy silt or mud bottoms occur.

Care of Your Fish Finder
1. Unscrew the transducer plug screws and remove the plug
from the fish finder.
2. Clean the transducer and cable with fresh water and dry-off
before storing. Do not submerge and/or spray the fish finder
screen/housing with water or use chemicals to clean. If nec-
essary, wipe with a damp cloth.
3. Remove the batteries from the fish finder to prevent battery
leakage and corrosion.
5. Store the fish finder in the storage bag in a cool, dry place.
Never leave it in temperatures over 120 degrees Fahrenheit
as the extreme temperatures can damage the electronic
components.
5. Cold weather is extremely hard on the electrical components
within the display housing. It is suggested that you keep the
unit in temperatures above 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10
degrees Celsius) during operation.
I’m Having a Problem, What Do I Do?
Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. There are no user
serviceable parts inside, and opening the unit will void the war-
ranty. Before contacting NorCross to return the unit please visit
our website at www.norcrossmarine.com for troubleshooting
information.
1. Nothing Happens When I Turn the Power On.
Make sure that you have installed a good set of batteries and
aligned them as per the diagram within the battery compart-
ment. You may also need to test the batteries in another
device to insure they are charged. If in doubt, replace the
batteries with a set from a newly opened package.
2. The Depth Reading Is “---”
Make sure the transducer is connected properly and that
the connector pins are not damaged. Also make sure that
you are operating the unit in depths between 2.5 and 120
feet. Be aware that the depth is measured from the trans-
ducer, not the float. Also make sure that the water is not
overly choppy, causing the transducer to move around sig-
nificantly. The transducer must remain relatively stable to
achieve optimal readings. When necessary, lower the
transducer to hang further from the surface of the water,
providing more stability in rougher water.
3. I See Fish Under the Transducer, but Nothing
Appears on the Display
As with the depth reading, the FF3300P(PX) will not detect
any objects that are closer than 2.5 feet from the transducer.
If you’re fishing in water that is less than 3 feet deep, it is
recommended to discontinue use of the fish finder.
Frequently Asked Questions?
1. What Type of Floats Can I use for the Transducer
Cable?
1 inch regular fishing bobbers have proven effective. A
bright color is also helpful at alerting any boaters of the
cable in the water.
2.
Why does the float need to be 6-10 inches from the
transducer? Can it be more than that, or less?

WARNING:
Disassembly of the electronic components within this unit may result in
exposure to lead in the form of solder, which is known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
The recommended distance of 6-10 inches allows the
transducer head to remain stable below the surface, even in
rougher waters. The float can be adjusted to set the trans-
ducer deeper if desired, to get in below an layer of ice per-
haps, but the the difference in depth must then be added to
what the unit displays.
3. How Long Will the Batteries Last?
Total usage life of one set of batteries depends on the oper-
ational settings. The Battery Save Feature will extend bat-
tery life considerably, but will not give up to the second
readings. The Backlight Feature, however, will significantly
reduce the battery life and therefore should be limited to
nighttime use only. The average overall life based on nor-
mal use is between 25 and 30 hours of operation.
4. Is My Fish Finder Waterproof?
Although the FF3300P(PX) is made to be water resistant, it is
not made to withstand submersion in water. Follow the Care
of Your Fish Finder Section to prevent accidental damage.
5. I’m Not Getting A Reading While Trying to “Shoot-
Thru” My Boat Hull or Ice?
Shooting-Thru the hull of a boat/canoe or ice can be a dif-
ficult, as hidden air pockets will prevent you from obtaining
a reading. Make certain that the hull or ice is solid from the
surface to the water with no air bubbles and/or gaps.
Shooting thru composite hulls (plastic) or cloudy ice is not
possible as the tiny air bubbles are usually present in these
situations. Refer to our website for more comprehensive
instructions.

Fish Location Scale Indicator
Use the Fish Depth Scale to measure the fish’s depth location
(Figure 15). This can be done by dividing the depth reading by
10. This number represents the value of each box.
(example, the depth is 10 feet, the fish symbol appears
between the first and second box from the bottom. This
means the fish is 1 foot from the bottom)
