Wiring connection
Electrical protection
•
Your fishfinder has an internal electrical
protection system for over voltage and short
circuit situations. It is not necessary to use a
fuse or a circuit breaker.
If possible, route the transducer cable away from
other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from
engine wiring, bilge pumps, and other equipment
can affect the display.
•
Both the power and depth transducer cables
lead into one four pin connector on the
Strike 200
or the eight pin connector on the
Strike 220s
. This plugs into a single socket
in the rear of the instrument. Connect the
red wire of the two-core power cable to the
positive supply and the black wire to the
electrical ground. The shortest and most
direct connection to the boat’s battery will
help to eliminate any problems due to
voltage drop or electrical interference.
Finally, drill a hole and insert the third screw in
the middle of the bracket. It is advisable to fill holes
with a sealing compound before inserting screws
(see fig. 3.3).

Other Types of Transducers
It is possible to use your Horizon Fish Finder with
all the Horizon Transducers Range (including thru-
hull mounting). For this purpose you need to
purchase the Y adaptors for the
Strike 200
and
220s
, which will allow you to separate the power
cable from the transducer’s cable.
