Sonar Contr ols
Controls
1.1 Hand Contr ol
Control
All sonar adjustments are conducted Speaker
through the hand control.

1.1.1 Trigger Switch

The trigger switch will move the cursor from the
sonar screen to the selection screen when ad-
Four-way
justments are needed. After adjusting, the trigger
Switch
switch will return the cursor back to the sonar Trigger
screen. Switch

1.1.2 Four-way Control Switch

The four-way control switch will move the cursor
up/down, left/right on the sonar screen. By plac-
ing the cursor on a target both horizontal and ver-
tical measurements are logged in the space noted
by the arrows, center right of screen.When the cur-
sor is in the selection screen the four-way switch
will move the cursor up/down to the item for ad-
justment. Moving the four-way switch left/right
will make the change.

1.1.3 Speaker
Built into the hand control is a speaker.
When selected the audio sound will be pro-
portional to the strength of the received ech-
oes.

1.2 Switch P
Switch anel
Panel
Both the sonar and the hoist are indepen-
dent of one another. The sonar has its own
on/off switch and the hoist has its own
down/up switch.

 1.2.1 Sonar On/Off Switch
The sonar on/off switch is fused with a 10
amp fast blow (AGC) fuse. This fuse is
inline with a fuse on the power supply board
inside the computer box. The power sup-
ply fuse must have the correct value for the
input voltage. Check ships DC voltage
and install the correct fuse; 12V DC 7.5
amp fast blow (AGC), 24V DC 3.2 amp
(AGC).
Lead Screw Hoist
1.2.2 Hoist Down/Up
To lower the hoist push down on the hoist switch.
If the hoist is hydraulic a green light will glow when
the motor is running and turn off when the motor
stops. The green light is not used with the lead
screw hoist systems. On all systems a red light will
stay on as long as the hoist is down.

1.2.3 Hoist Fuse

On lead screw hoist systems the fuse used is MDL
(slow blow) 4 amp. On hydraulic systems use AGC
(fast blow) 1 amp. If the fuse is open the hoist will
Hydraulic Hoist
not go down.

1.3 Selection Scr eens

Screens
There are four selection screens where adjustments
are made. Each adjustment can be viewed as the
sonar runs to maximize target detection. The four
selection screens are titled as; Wesmar 395, So-
nar, Profiler and Local. To make an adjustment
to the sonar, trigger once with the hand controller.
This will activate the Wesmar 395 selection screen.
To enter any of the other three selection screens
push up or down on the four way switch until SET
UP is highlighted. Push left or right on the four
way switch for: S = Sonar, P = Profiler, L = Lo-
cal then trigger with the hand controller. After
adjustments are made, trigger the hand controller
to move the cursor back to the sonar screen.

1.3.1 Wesmar 395 Selection Screen

Wesmar 395 is the first screen to appear when trig-
3
gered with the hand controller. All of the adjust-
ments are for sonar with the exception of NEAR P
and FAR P, which are gain adjustments for profile.

RANGE
Sonar range can be increased or decreased by push-
ing the four-way switch on the hand controller to
the left or right. Range units; meter, fathom, feet
are selected in selection screen Local.

TILT
Transducer can tilt up +4 degrees above the hori-
zontal to –90 degrees straight down. A 0 degree
tilt will center the sound beam horizontally.

CENTER
Move the sector in nine-degree steps around the
screen.

REVERSE
Reverse will change the direction of scan. This is
the recommended method when following fast
moving tagets such as tuna and game fish. There
are two ways to reverse scan.
1. Highlight reverse, push the four-way switch to
the left or right. Each time the four-way switch is
pushed scan will reverse.
2. Highlight reverse, pull the trigger to reverse scan.
Pull the trigger again to highlight reverse then pull
the trigger to reverse. As fast as one can pull the
trigger two times the scan will reverse.

THICK
Thickness will work in sonar screen #1 only. Thick-
ness is scanning up and down through the target or
over the bottom. This is an excellent way to see if
there are more fish under the fish schools that were
scanned in the horizontal or to determine the ver-
tical size distribution of the school. Thickness can
also be used to profile the bottom out in front to
measure depth when entering uncharted wa-
ters.

There are two ways to activate thickness.

1. Highlight thick. Wait for the horizontal scan to
pass through the target. Pull the trigger, the trans-

4
ducer will stop and start to scan up and down
through the target. The vertical display will show
in the lower right of the screen. As the target
moves the thickness mode of operation can
move to follow the target by pushing the four-way
switch to the left or right. Reverse can also be used
to change direction of the vertical scan. To end the
thickness mode pull the trigger twice.
2. Highlight thick. Push the four-way switch to the
left or right. The transducer will stop and start to
scan up and down. Push the four-way switch a sec-
ond time to end thickness mode. Note: Entering
thickness mode by using the four-way switch will
disable the ability to change bearing. Bearing can
only be changed when entering thickness by using
the trigger switch.

SECTOR
Select the area to be scanned from full circle; 360
degrees down to 11 degrees.

SPEED
Controls the scanning speed of the sound beam.
Speed 1 is for fine resolution. Speed 4 is for fast
update. Faster speeds may lose single fish targets.

ZOOM
In Screens 1, 2 and 3 the cursor can be used as a
magnifier. By activating zoom the target under the
cursor will magnify for a close inspection. The
perimeter line around the cursor indicates the mag-
nified area.

NEAR S
Near gain adjustment for sonar. Gain numbers run
from 0 to 100. Regardless of range the near gain
has more control over targets from the center of
the screen to half way out. Adjust for best presen-
tation.

FAR S
Far gain adjustment for sonar. Gain numbers run
from 0 to 100. Regardless of range the far gain
has more control over targets from half way to the
end of screen range, or the last half of range se-
lected. Adjust for best presentation.

5
NEAR P
Near gain adjustment for profile. Profile gains are
separate from sonar. Gain numbers run from 0 to
100. Regardless of range the near gain has more
control over targets from the center of the screen
to half way out. Adjust for best presentation.

FAR P
Far gain adjustment for profile. Gain numbers run
from 0 to 100. Regardless of range the far gain has
more control over targets half way to the end of
the screen range. Profile is frequently used to pro-
file the bottom. FAR P adjustment is used to bring
bottom markings in strong.

SET UP
Set up provides access to three other selection
screens; SONAR, PROFILE, LOCAL. To acti-
vate one of the three screens first trigger the hand
controller once. The WESMAR 395 screen will
appear. Move the four-way switch up or down to
set up. Push the four way switch left or right to
highlight the selection screen you want to go to.
Trigger the hand controller for the second time to
view the screen.

By triggering the hand controller the third time will

place the cursor back into the sonar display.

COLOR BARS
There are two color bars, one on top of the other.
The top color bar represents the colors and thresh-
old for sonar. The bottom bar represents the col-
ors and threshold for profile. Adjustments are found
in SONAR and PROFILE.

1.3.2 SONAR
Sonar refers to horizontal scan around the vessel.
This is different from profile where the transducer
scans from side to side beneath the vessel. To
maximize target detection both sonar and profile
each have their own selection screen. Adjustments
can be different from the other. The SS395 will
store the settings and recall them the next time the
system is turned on. However, if there is more
than one application (more then one fishery) a
record of the settings should be kept.
6
RANGE
Same range adjustment under Wesmar 395. For
convenience sonar range is repeated.

PULSE
Pulse refers to the transmit pulse or the time the
transmitter is on pushing sound energy into the
water. A long pulse, 100% is best for long-range
detection. Selecting shorter pulse lengths will in-
crease range resolution separating two targets close
together. As the pulse length is shortened, near
and far gains will need to be increased.

SECTOR
Same sector adjustment found in the last selection
screen, Wesmar 395. For convenience sector is
repeated.

TVG
Time Variable Gain offsets propagation loss as
sound energy moves through the water. A target at
long range will have a small echo than close to the
vessel. In order for this target to mark the same
color at different ranges the receive gain must in-
crease proportionally with range. Propagation
losses of sound energy will change with frequency,
salinity, and the amount of plankton and algae in
the water. Adjust TVG according to the frequency
of the sonar.

Adjustment:
160kHz set TVG to 400,
span 200 to 600
110kHz set TVG to 600,
span 400 to 800
60kHz set TVG to 800,
span 600 to 1000

Each 100 units will equal 250 ft or 75 meters of

range. A setting of 400 will then equal 1000 ft or
300 meters. When using the blue background a gray
ring will display on the screen equal to the TVG
setting. Targets on the inside of the ring will be
compensated for propagation losses where targets
outside the ring will become stronger as the vessel

7
approaches until the target cross over the gray ring.

SPEED
Speed will change the scanning speed of the trans-
ducer. A speed of one will step the transducer in
1.8 degree steps, where a speed of four will step in
7.2 degree steps. A speed of one is considered regu-
lar scan with fine resolution where a speed of four
yields a faster scan with lower resolution.

ENHANCE
Enhance is one of three filters. Selections are from
OFF to 5. Enhance will help in target recognition
of individual targets such as tuna, salmon, and
sports fish. If bottom typing for shrimp, turn en-
hance off.

FILTER
Filter is the second of three filters. Filter is used to
filter out unwanted returns and reduce clutter from
the screen. Filter should be turned off when scan-
ning for small targets. Use Filter when scanning
for schools of fish and bottom typing

LIMITER
The third of the three filters. The limiter can be
ON or OFF. When ON, interference from any other
sonar/sounder equipment on board will not mark
on the screen. This is accomplished by eliminat-
ing all targets that are not present in two consecu-
tive transmits at the same range. The limiter is very
effective; however, when scanning for individual
targets it is recommend to turn the limiter OFF.
When the limiter is ON there will be a (?) after
ON to question the operator if this is the correct
setting.

THRESH
Or Threshold. Selections are from 1 to 4. In order
for a target to display on the screen, the echo, after
going through the receiver, must be strong enough
to reach the colors. The colors can be raised or
lowered. Lowering the threshold will display all
targets including weak ones without adjusting
gains. Raising the threshold will remove weak tar-
gets leaving only strong targets on the display.

8
DELETE
Delete will remove targets colors weak to strong.

CLIP
Clip is a color stronger then red. Clip is primarily
used for bottom typing to distinguish between,
rock, sand, or muddy bottom. On hard bottom
adjust gains so bottom just marks in the clip color.

BACK
Back or background is the color behind the targets
on the screen. 1=Black, 2=Blue and 3=White.

Black can be used at night and during the day. At

night the black background emits no light and the
targets stand out in fine detail. For nighttime view-
ing it is recommended to lower the brightness of
the text or words on the right of the screen. To dim
the text go to the LOCAL page and increase the
number for TEXT. Blue and White are normally
day time screen. A background color will increase
the contrast making the target much easier to view.
If small targets are of interest try the white back-
ground and select 4 to 6 on PALETTE.

PALETTE
Palette deals with target color brightness from blue
to red. When using a low threshold the screen may
by full of blue and green targets. Too much color
on the screen may be distracting; however, the weak
targets are telling the operator something about the
area of search. Palette is a brightness scale that
will dim target colors from weak to strong. Select
a palette number that will dim the weaker targets
without removing them from the screen. This helps
in strong target recognition with less fatigue to the
operator.

1.3.3 PROFILE
Profile scans the transducer from side-to-side un-
der the vessel like a pendulum of a clock. Profile
expands bottom coverage not covered by down
sounders. Because the sound beam is narrow reso-
lution off the bottom is very good. The SS395 in
profile will cover the bottom six times that of a

9
down sounder without the loss of resolution. To
optimize detection profile has its own adjustments.

When operating in split screen, SONAR settings

are used when scanning horizontal. When the trans-
ducer moves to profile the PROFILER settings will
be used.

RANGE
When profiling the bottom select a range equal to
twice the depth. This will give full bottom cover-
age across the screen.

PULSE
A long transmit pulse, 100% will deliver more
power into the water then a short pulse. A short
pulse has superior range resolution then a long
pulse. When profiling for fish just off the bottom a
short pulse should be selected. As the pulse length
is shortened, near and far gains will need to be in-
creased.

SECTOR
Profile has its own sector sizes with the center mark
straight down.

TVG
Time Variable Gain offsets propagation losses as
sound energy moves through the water. These
losses are compensated by the TVG setting. Losses
are different with different frequencies.

Adjustment:
160kHz set TVG to 300, span 200 to 600
110kHz set TVG to 500, span 400 to 800
60kHz set TVG to 700, span 600 to 1000

SPEED
Speed will change the scanning rate of the trans-
ducer as it sweeps over the bottom. For good bot-
tom detail use speed 1.

ENHANCE
Enhance is one of three filters. Enhance will help
in target detection of fish and objects on the bot-
tom small in size.

10
FILTER
Filter is the second of three filters. Filter is used to
reduce clutter; however, too much filter will lower
·
the probability of detection of small targets.

LIMITER
The third of three filters. The limiter can be ON or
OFF. Turning ON the limiter will remove inter-
ference from other sonar/sounder equipment from
the screen. Objects close to the bottom or on the
bottom may not mark with the limiter ON. The
limiter should only be used when large targets are
of interest.

THRESH
Or threshold. Selections are from 1 to 4. If set too
high, only strong targets will be detected. If the
threshold is set low the smallest of echoes will be
detected. For bottom typing a low threshold set-
ting is desirable.

DELETE
Delete will remove targets colors weak to strong.

CLIP
Clip is a color stronger then red when selected.
When bottom typing make the following settings.
Select the clip color. Lower the threshold to 1.
Turn ENHANCE to OFF. Turn FILTER to 5. When
over hard bottom adjust the near and far gains so
the bottom just marks in the clip color. All other
bottom types will mark in cooler colors.

BACK
Back or background is the color behind the targets
on the screen. 1=Black, 2=Blue and 3=White.

Black can be used at night and during the day. At

night the black background emits no light and the
targets stand out in fine detail. For nighttime view-
ing it is recommended to lower the brightness of
the text or words on the right of the screen. To dim
the text go to the LOCAL page and increase the
number for TEXT. Blue and White are normally
day time screen. A background color will increase
11
the contrast making the target much easier to view.
If small targets are of interest try the white back-
ground and select 4 to 6 on PALETTE.

PALETTE
Palette is a target brightness control. When acti-
vated screen targets will dim from blue to red.
When using lower thresholds 1 or 2 the screen may
be cluttered with targets. Rather then deleting the
lower colors use PALETTE to lower the bright-
ness of the weaker targets.

1.3.4 LOCAL
Local are general adjustments that are not changed
to often.

UNITS
Select; feet, meters or fathoms.

LANGUAGE
Select the number that corresponds to the language
of preference.

AUDIO
The hand controller has a built in speaker that will
sound when targets are displayed on thescreen. For
additional volume connect an external amplified
speaker to the audio line output jack on the com-
puter control unit, see section 3.1.6 for more infor-
mation. Audio is only activated after the first range
ring. This will reduce any audio from noise that is
around the boat. Audio is extended to the corner of
the screen. Two types of audio are available; Fish
Alert and Modulation.

FISH ALERT
Fish alert is ideal for purse seining. When fish
schools mark on the screen the alert will sound.
Fish alert is only sensitive to the clip color. Colors
other then clip will not trigger the fish alert. The
size of schools that triggers the alert is determined
by selecting 1 for small schools and 10 for larger
schools. OFF will turn the fish alert off.

MODULATION
Modulation will sound on any size of fish target
and or bottom. By deleting colors or changing
thresholds the sound will follow the change. There
are three selections of the modulation sound, M-1,
M-2 and M-3. Both M-1 and M-2 will have the
sound of the transmit pulse at the beginning of the
receive cycle. Modulation M-1 has a louder trans-
mit sound then M-2. Modulation M-3 has no trans-
mit sound, only the fish target will sound and or
bottom will be heard.

VOLUME
Speaker volume selected from 1 to 5.

TEXT
Text will dim all the white lettering and range rings
for night time viewing.

RINGS
Range rings can be turned on or off.

SCREEN
There are four fishing sonar screens available.
Screen #1: Full circle sonar
Screen #2: Split Screen sonar on top with bottom
profile on bottom.
Screen #3: Half screen bottom profile only. Can
run with the soundome in the up position
Screen #4: Full screen down sounder.

BRIGHT
Brightness will control the overall intensity of the
display.
TUNING
Adjust frequency for the best target presentation
with minimal noise. This adjustment changes the
frequency of the transmitter and receiver.

ADJUSTMENT:
160kHz, set to 159kHz:
span 156kHz to 162kHz.
110kHz, set to 114kHz:
span 108kHz to 117kHz.
60kHz, set to 60 kHz:
span 57 to 62kHz.

UPDATE
When new programs come available the software
13
can be installed in the sonar computer board. Se-
lect UPDATE to transfer the new program to the
transmit receive motor drive board no the hoist
assembly. Can be used to restore the program if
need be.

2.1.1 Hand Controller

The SS395 hand controller can be considered the
sonar consolate where all adjustments are made.
Its location should be easily reached when fishing.
The hand controller has a 10ft, 3.0 meter cord with
a connector at the end that mates to the bulkhead
connect.

Would you like to have more than one hand con-

troller? Three good locations would be the wheel
house, flying bridge and/or the fish deck. By in-
stalling the hand controller expansion box, part
#64.00342.0, and three bulk head connectors part
#64.10342.0 this will give you full sonar control Bulkhead Connector
from three locations.

14 14
 2.1.2 Bulkhead Connector Panel
The bulkhead connector panel comes with a 10ft
(3 meter) cable with a connector at the end. This
connector will mate to the computer control unit
or expansion box. To install the bulkhead connec-
tor, make a hole in the instrument panel 1 3/4 inches
(44.5 mm) in diameter. Attach the bulkhead con-
nector plate to the instrument pnael using the holes
in the four corners.

2.1.3 Computer Control Unit

The computer control unit is designed to fit under
the instrument panel. There are three cables in the Computer Control
wheelhouse that connect to the computer control
unit. Consider the length of these cables before se-
lecting a lcoation to mount the computer control
unit.

1. The cable from the bulkhead connector panel is

10ft ( 3 meters) long. it must reach the computer
control unit.
2. The AC power cable from the switch panel is 6
ft (1.8 meters) long. It must reach the computer
control unit.
3. The monitor video cable on most monitors is
normally short. Use an extension VGA cable to Lead Screw Hoist
reach the computer control unit if needed. (Exten-
sion cable not supplied).

Fasten the computer control unit in place using the

holes in the mounting plate.

2.1.4 Switch Panel

There are two switch panel assemblies, one for a
lead screw hoist and the other for a hydraulic hoist.
Installation is the same for both. The switch panel
does not need to be next to the bulkhead connec-
tor.
Hydraulic Hoist
Switch panels for both the hydraulic hoist and the
lead screw hoist are the same size. They provide
power to the computer control unit through a 6ft
(1.8 meter) cable. This cable must reach the com-
puter control unit. Make a hole 2.5 X 2.5 inches

15
(63.5 X 63.5 mm). Pass the wires through the hole
and attach the plate by the four corners to the in-
strument panel.
2.1.5 Monitor
Specifications:
1. VGA, 640 X 480
2. Horizontal Sync. 31.5 kHz
3. Vertical Sync. 60 Hz
4. Flat Screen or Tube type. Any size.

When selecting a location, keep in mind the fol-

lowing:
1. Select a location where the monitor is in full
view when fishing.
2. What voltage is available in the wheelhouse to
run the monitor? A converter may be needed to
supply the correct voltage.
3. If there is a chance the monitor might get wet,
install a splash proof or waterproof monitor.
4. If the monitor is in direct sunlight, install a sun-
light viewable monitor.
5. If the monitor will be flush mounted, select a
monitor with the on/off and adjustment controls
are on the front.
6. Most monitors come with cables. The video
cable is typically 5 ft (1.5 meters) long. The video
cable connects to the computer control unit. If the
video cable is not long enough use a standard VGA
extension cable.

2.1.6 Audio Line Output

Below the VGA connector on the computer con-
trol unit is a mini jack. This jack will supply the
audio line voltage to an external amplifier that is
connected to the speaker. Speakers with amplifi-
ers are the type used as external speakers on com-
puters. The mini jack on the SS395 is compatible
with the computer type speakers.

WARNING: Do not connect speakers directly.

In doing so, the audio circuit will be damaged,
not covered by warranty. Only use speakers
with built in amplifier like the type used on com-
puters.

Checklist:
How much room is needed?
Seachest location.
Seachest Specifications.

2.2.1 How much room is needed?

There are three measurements needed to determine
the vertical height of the hull unit, seachest and
hoist assembly together.

1. Depth of keel at the location of the seachest.

The overall vertical height is the total length
of the seachest plus the hoist assembly on top. If
the boat has a keel then part of the seachest will
pass through the hull to the bottom of the keel.
This distance will reduce the vertical height needed
inside the boat.

2. Seachest length.
The seachest must be long enough for the
soundom to fit inside plus 1 1/2 (38mm) for pro-
tection when not in use. This becomes the mini-
mum length. the minimum length is different for
the following models:
Model: Minimum Length
SS395-E-160 21 in (53.3 cm)
SS395-H-160 24 in (61 cm)
SS395-E-110 22.5 in (57.2 cm)
SS395-H-110 25.5 in (67.8 cm)
SS395-E-60 22.5 in (57.2 cm)
SS395-H-60 29.5 in (74.9 cm)

3. Hoist length
The vertical length is different for the fol-
lowing models:
Model: Minimum Length
SS395-E-160 25.75 in (65.5 cm)
SS395-H-160 33 in (83.8 cm)
SS395-E-110 28.75 in (73 cm)
SS395-H-110 33 in (83.8 cm)
SS395-E-60 28.75 in (73 cm)
SS395-H-60 33 in (83.8 cm)
17
 2.2.2 Seachest Location
For the best sonar performance avoid items in front
of the seachest that can create bubbles or turbu-
lence. Items such as zinc plates, cooling pipes,
sounder housings, water intakes or discharge ports
should NOT be in front of the seachest.

Avoid installing the seachest near other sounding

equipment. Down sounders should be behind the
seachest. Other sonars should be on the opposite
side of the keel.

Select a location 1/3 to 1/2 of the ship’s overall

length back from the bow. On lighter boats where
the bow is likely to come out of the water at times,
moving the seachest closer to the half length is rec-
ommended.

Athwart Vessel Location:

1. Installation through the keel is optimum,
center line of vessel roll.
2. Along side the keel and 1/2 in (13 mm)
up from the keel is a very good location, vessel
roll is minimal. The keel also adds strength to the
seachest as it protrudes through the hull. Fair the
seachest to the keel. Alongside the keel will help
keep debris from snagging.
3. If next to the keep is impossible, locate
the seachest within 40 in (1 meter) from the keel.
The bottom of the seachest must extend down to
1/2 in (33mm) up from the keel. Fair the seachest
for-and-aft but not to the hull. If faired to the hull,
bubbles will travel down the taper to the soundome.
To deflect debris a plate cut at a 45 degree angle to
the hull should be attached to the leading and trail-
ing edge of the fairing. The plate will deflect de-
bris and not catch on the seachest.

2.2.3 Seachest Specifications

The SS395, depending on the model, will have a 6
in soundome or an 8 in soundome. The size of the
soundome will determine the pipe and the flange
specifications. Use one of the following drawings
when fabricating the seachest at the boat yard. Steel
and wooden boats use steel. Aluminum boats use
aluminum. Fiberglass boats use fiberglass. Fiber-
18
glass seachest with flange can be ordered from
WESMAR. (6 in part #62.04327.0 or 8 in part
#62.04329.0)

6-inch Seachest
1. Use 6-inch schedule 80 steel pipe
(5.761 Id nominal)
2. Length between minimum length (3.2.1)
and 40 in (1.2 m)
3. Paint inside with same bottom paint as hull.

8-inch seachest
1. use 8-inch Schedule 80 steel pipe
(7.625 in ID nominal)
2. Length between minimum (3.2.1)
and 40 in (1.2 m)
3. Paint inside with same bottom paint as hull.

2.3.1 Calculate Lenth Of Soundome

Tube
There are two electrical hoist systems. One for the
6 in soundome and another for the 8 in soundome.
The difference between the two is the size of the
flange and the total travel.
1. 6 in soundome: measure the length of the
seachest and add 4 in (10 cm)
2. 8 in soundome: measure the length of the

19
seachest and add 5.5 in (14 cm)

When the proper length of the soundome tube is

determined, measure from the threaded end, mark
the length and cut. File the rough edges.

2.3.2 Check soundome clearance in

side seachest
The soundome should not fit tight inside the
seachest. This can place addition strain on the hoist
motor and damage it. Also, if the insides of the
seachest start to rust the dome may jam and pos-
sible damage to the hoist motor may be the result.
A loose fitting soundome will be subject to vibra-
tion reducing sonar performance.

The SS395 soundome must fit the seachest with a

clearance no greater than 1/16 in (1.6 mm). Both
the 6 in and 8 in ABS soundomes have fins or ribs
on the side of the dome. The fins can be filed down
for the correct fit.

When checking the soundome, do not handle the

soundome by the soundome cable. Hold the dome
by the neck.

2.3.3 Fasten the soundome to

the soundome tube
1. Thread the jam nut into the soundome.

2. Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the

soundome tube. WARNING: only use Teflon tape
on the threads of the soundome tube. Chemical
thread sealant will damage the ABS threads of the
soundome.

3. Run the soundome cable all the way through the

soundome tube, starting from the threaded end.
Have a helper hold the soundome at the same time
rotate the soundome tube. Be careful not to cross
threads. Tighten by hand without tools.

4. Tighten the jam nut using a wrench for a snug

fit.

20
5. To protect the soundome cable from chafing on
the end of the soundome tube, a urethane strain
relief is supplied. Cut the urethane strain relief
down one side. Open the cut and push the
soundome cable into the strain relief. Slide the
strain relief down the cable and into the open end
of the soundome tube.

2.3.4 Asemble Hoist

1. Remove the packing flax from the packing gland
on the flange.

2. Run the soundome cable through the flange fol-

lowing by the soundome tube. Insert the packing
flax one at a time. Use a 1/4 in (6 mm) rod to push
the flax to the bottom of the packing gland. Rotate
the next flax by 90 degrees and push to the bot-
tom. Do the same for the remaining flax, total six
pieces. Slide the packing gland cap over the
soundome tube. Apply ANTI-SEIZE (supplied) to
the thread posts. Thread the two nuts on each cap
post DO NOT tighten the 7/16 in nuts.

3. Thread the top hoist clamp onto the lead screw

until it is flush with the top.

4. Apply ANTI-SEIZE to the bolts on the saftely

clamp and top hoist clamp. Slide the safetly clamp
over the soundome tube. DO NOT tighten. Push
the soundome tube through the top hoist until 2 in
(51 mm) remain on the other side. Tighten the top
hoist clamp (3/8 in nuts) so the soundome tube is
locked in place.

5. Place safety clamp directly below the top hoist

clamp and tighten bolts.

2.3.5 Attach Hoist to Seachest

1. The 6 in soundome has a FWD stamped on top

of the dome. Locate this mark and make a new
mark on top of the soundome tube in line with the
FWD stamp. This mark will be the reference point
that points to the bow.

2. The 8 in soundome has an AFT stamped and

21
arrow that points to one of the fins on top of the
soundome. Align the AFT fin so it points towards
the stern or back of the boat when the soundome
goes into the seachest. Make a mark on top of the
soundome tube that is in line with the AFT fin on
the soundome. This mark will be the reference point
that points to the stern of the boat.

3. Clean the flange surface of both hoist and

seachest. Place the clean neoprene gasket on the
seachest flange. There is no need to grease the gas-
ket. Carefully lift the hoist and align the soundome
to the opening of the seachest. Lower the hoist onto
the seachest. Rotate the hoist for easy access to the
TR box. Apply ANTI-SEIZE (supplied) to the 1
inch bolts (supplied). Insert the 1 inch bolt from
the bottom up. Use the lock washers and nuts (sup-
plied) to tighten the hoist flange to the seachest.

4. Align the soundome to the boat, FWD for the 6

in dome and AFT for the 8 in dome. Loosen the
bolts on the top hoist clamp. Rotate the soundome FWD
tube so the mark made in step #1 or #2 are in line.
Tighten the bolts good and tight.

5. Check the soundome inside the seachest. The

hoist is shipped from WESMAR in the up posi-
tion. The above procedure will place the soundome
1.5 in (38 mm) inside the seachest. If the boat is
out of the water, check this distance. To make cor-
rections, loosen the top hoist clamp and push up
or down on the soundome tube for the correct mea-
surement. Retighten the hoist clamp.

6. Slide the safety clamp up to the top hoist clamp.

Apply ANTI-SEIZE to the bolts and tighten.

Installation
The hydraulic hoist will require some as-
sembly. There are four parts that make up the com-
plete hoist unit: hoist rack assembly, soundome
tube, hydraulic power pack with hydraulic ram and
soundome. There are two models of hydraulic
power packs, DC and AC. The DC unit can be in-
stalled on the hoist rack. The AC, due to its weight,
must be installed on a bulkhead. Bulkhead instal-
lation may require some longer hydraulic lines.

25
NOTE: The soundome tube has been cut to
match the seachest on board. If there is any
uncertainty on the length contact your dealer
or WESMAR before proceeding with the in-
stallation.

2.6.1 Assemble the soundome tube

1. Remove the packing gland cap and pack flax

from inside the packing gland on the flange.

2. Run the soundome tube through the flange and

stop when the tube is half way up the rack as-
sembly.

3. Insert the packing flax one at a time. Use a

screwdrive to push the flax to the bottom of the
packing gland. Rotate the next flax by 90 degrees
and push to the bottom. Do the same for the re-
maining pieces, six in total. Slide the packing
gland cap over the soundome tube and down so
it is touching the flax. Apply ANTI-SEIZE to the
gland cap bolts and thread them in finger tight.
Do not tighten at this time.

4. Slide the tube safety clamp over the soundome

tube.

5. Slide the tube guide clamp over the soundome

tube.

2.6.2 Install the soundome

1. Clean the matting surfaces of the soundome

and soundome tube flange.

2. Run the soundome cable through the flange o-

ring then through the soundome tube so there is
1 foot 30 cm slack at the dome end.

3. Apply silicone compound to the o-ring. Posi-

tion the o- ring in the machined groove on top of
the soundome. Safety Clamp

26
4. Use ANTI-SEIZE and bolt the soundome to the
soundome tube and tighten.

2.6.3 Install the hydraulic ram

1. Remove the top cross plates from the rack as-

sembly. Note which plate is connected to which
rack. Make sure the tube guide clamp does not slip
off the soundome tube when removing the cross Cross Plates
plates.
2. Remove the cable strain relief from the hydrau-
lic ram end cap.
3. Place the soundome cable in the slot on the hy-
draulic end cap. Slide the hydraulic ram inside the
soundome tube. The ram can be disconnected from
the hydraulic power pack by using the quick dis-
connect fittings at the end of the hydraulic lines.
Align the soundome cable coming through the end
cap with the rack leg that has the limit switches.
The cable will be to the left and the limit switches
to the right. Push the hydraulic ram in place. Align Tube Guide Clamp Safety Clamp

line with one another Tigthen the two bolts. Do
not tighten the packing gland bolts at this time.
4. Place the strain relief grommet around the
soundome cable. Slide the grommet down the cable
until it fits snuggly into the top of the hydraulic
end cap. Bolt the strain relief plate over the grom-
met.
5. Push the soundome tube up until the hydraulic
ram shaft goes through the holes in the center of
the cross plates. Thread the castle nut onto the ram
shaft so its snug; at the same time align the holes
through the shaft with the nut. Place a cotter pin

Placing the hoist assembly on the seachest will re-
quire the assistance of two or three helpers. Use a
chainfall connected to the overhead to lift the load.

1. If the hydraulic lines are removed from the ram

end cap, the fittings may leak when the hoist is
lifted up. To reduce leaking, install the safety clamp
around the soundome tube just above the packing
cap and tighten inplace. This will keep the
soundome tube from slipping down when lifting
the hoist.

2. Clean the flange surfaces of the seachest and

hoist. Place the neoprene gasket on the seachest
flange.

3. Lift the hoist assembly and set it on top of the

seachest. Rotate the flange to coincide with the
hoist power pack and limit switches for easy main-
tenance.
Alignment considerations:
a) Only DC power pack can be in-
stalled on the hoist rack. The rack opposite the lim-
ited switches is the only rack leg the power pack
can be attached to.
b) The AC power pack must be in-
stalled on a bulkhead. The DC power pack can also
be installed on a bulkhead and not on the rack.
Rotate the hoist so the rack leg with the limit
switches is adjacent to the bulkhead that has the
power pack. This will avoid crossing the hydrau-
lic lines.

4. Bolt the hoist flange to the seachest. Apply

ANTI-SEIZE on the bolt threads. Insert the bolts
from the bottom up. Use the lock washer and nuts
and tighten in place.

5. Tighten the packing gland cap bolts finger tight.

Use wrench and tighten each bolt one full turn,
repeat for a total of two turns.
NOTE: When the vessel is back in the water, cycle
the hoist up and down four times. Check the pack-
ing gland for water. It is normal for the packing
gland to weep but not drip. Tighten if necessary.

 2.6.5 Install hydraulic power pack

1. Install the DC power pack on the rack leg oppo- DC Power Pack
site the leg with the limit switches. About half way
up on the leg are two holes where the DC mount-
ing bracket will bolt to. Use ANTI-SEIZE and
tighten in place. Connect the hydraulic lines to the
cylinder.

2. Install the AC power pack to the bulkhead. Use

the mounting bracket attached to the motor. Gen-
erally taped standoffs are welded to the bulkhead
and the motor will bolt to them. The hydraulic lines
will need to be lengthened. Make sure there is
enough slack in the lines for up and down travel.
Connect the hydraulic lines to the cylinder.

3. After the hydraulic lines are connected make sure DC Power Pack Mounting

4. Install the vent screw in the reservoir. In order

to ship the hydraulic power pack full of oil the vent
screw was replaced with non-venting screw. This
non-venting screw must be removed and replaced

The DC hydraulic hoist is a stand alone

system that does not require power from the sonar.
It will operate on its own. The hydraulic power
pack is avialable in 12V, DC and 24V DC. Wiring
is different between the two voltage systems. Check
the voltage of the hydraulic pack unit before wir-
ing.

2.7.1 DC hoist board wiring

29
1. The DC hoist board is enclosed in its own alu- 12 Volt Wiring:
minum box. The DC hoist board will work on both
12V hydraulic power pack units and 24V hydrau-
lic power pack units.

2. Hoist control cable, PN: 78.10015.0

The hoist control cable is 25 feet (7.6 meters) long.
One end is terminated witha six pin connector, the
other end is terminated with terminal lugs. The
connector end will mate with the connector on the
switch panel in the wheelhouse. the other end will

number.
If a longer hoist control cable is needed, hoist ex-
tension cables are avialable in 25 feet (7.6 meter)
lengths, PN: 78.10015.1

3. Hoist board voltage

Voltage to the hoist board must be the same as the
voltage for the hydraulic power pack. This voltage
powers the solenoid valve, the big relay on the DC
motor, the up/down relays on the hoist board and
the red and green lights on the switch panel in the 12V Ground
wheelhouse. The hoist board is fused with a 5A
slow blow fuse. Run ships power through a strain 24 Volt Wiring:
relief fitting on the hoist box and connect the bat-
tery negative to terminal #31 and battery positive
to terminal #30. Use the correct wire size to carry
5 amps over the distance from battery to hoist
board.

4. Solenoid valve wiring

The large relay on the DC motor is activated by
the same voltage that operates the solenoid valve.
To simplify wiring the relay is pre-wired into the +24V
solenoid valve. From the solenoid valve there is a
pre-wired cable with numbered lugs at the end. Pass
the cable through a strain relief on the bottom of
the hoist box. Connect the wires to TB2, number
to number.

5. Limit switch up/down wiring

Located on the hoists are two limit switches that
will stop the hoist at its up and down limits. Both
switches are pre-wired and numbered at 24V Ground
WESMAR. Run the limit switch wires through a
30
strain relief on the hoist box. Connect the wires to
TB2, number to number.

6. DC motor wiring
The hydraulic power pack is available in 12V and
24V. Confirm the voltage of your unit before wir-
ing. The 12V motor will draw 65 amps under nor-
mal load. The 24 volt motor will draw 40 amps
under normal load. The amperage will go up if re-
sistance in hoisting increases. Fuse the 12 volt
motor for 130 to 140 amps. Fuse the 24 volts for
55 to 60 amps. Select a wire guage appropriate for
the load. The hoist takes less than ten seconds to
go up or down so the cycle is very short before it
turns off. Wire as pictured to the left.

The AC wiring hoist is a stand-alone sys-

tem that does not require power from the sonar to
operate. It will operate independent from the so-
nar. The hydraulic power pack is available 110V
AC signle phase and 220V AC single phase. Wir-
ing is the same for both systems.

2.8.1 AC hoist board wiring

1. The AC hoist board is enclosed in its own alu-

minum box. Before wiring, check the AC voltage
of the board. Next to transoformer T1 there will be
one or two jumpers installed. One jumper is for
220V AC and two jumpers are for the 110V AC
NOTE: Use a 30 amp slow blow fuse for 110V AC
and a 20 amp slow blow fuse for 220V AC.

2. Hoist board voltage.

Voltage to the hoist board is the same voltage that
will power the motor and the solenoid valve on
the hydraulic power pack. Run ships AC power
through one of the strain relief fittings on the hoist
box and connect the wires to TB3. Use wire size

31
capable to handle a one horsepower motor.

3. Hoist control cable, PN: 78.10015.0

The hoist cable is 25 feet (7.6 meters) long. One
end is terminated with a six pin connector, the other
end is terminated with terminal lugs. The connec-
tor will mate with the connector on the switch panel
in the wheelhouse. The other end will go through
one of the small strain relief fittings on the hoist
control box. Connect each number wire to the same
numbered terminal on TB1.
If longer hoist control cable is needed, hoist ex-
tension cables are available in 25 feet (7.6 meters)
in length, PN: 78.10015.1.

4. Solenoid valve wiring

The solenoid valve is pre-wired with terminal lugs
at the ends. Run the solenoid cable through one of
the strain relief fittings on the hoist box. Connec
the wires to TB2, number to number.

5. Limit switch up/down wiring:

There are two limit switches on the hoist rack that
will stop the hoist at the travel limits. Both swtiches
are pre-wired with terminal lugs at the ends. Run
the limit switch wires through on of the strain re-
lief fittings on the hoist box. Connect the wires to
TB4, number to number.

2.9.1 Lowering hoist first time

1. Check to make sure there is enough room be-

neath the boat before lowering the soundome. Total
travel is 18 inches, 45.5cm. Outside the seachest
16.5 inches, 42cm.

2. Make sure the hoist switch is in the up position.

3. Disconnect the upper hoist limit switch wire la-

beled #27 located on, TB2 for DC motors or TB4
for AC motors. Once this wire is disconnected the
hoist will only move down when powered.
32
4. Disconnect the hoist down limit switch wire la-
beled #1 located on, TB1 for DC motors and TB1
for AC motors. Once this wire is disconnected the
hoist will not move when the hoist switch in the
wheelhouse is pushed down to lower the
soundome.

5. 1. The hoist will lower. The hoist should stop

before the safty clamp comes in contact with the
packing gland. If it looks like the safety clamp
will come in contact with the packing gland re-
move the wire immediately. Tap the wire on ter-
minal #1 for short movements until the hoist stops.
The top clamp should stop no less then 0.5 inches,
13mm above the packing gland.

Adjustment - Move the lower limit switch up on

the hoist rack so the top clamp is 0.5 inch, 13mm
to 1.0 inch, 25.5mm above the packing gland
6. Lift up the soundome - Push the hoist switch up
in the wheelhouse. Touch the wire labeled #27 to
terminal #27. The hoist will start to go up. The
hoist should go up and stop and the motor turn off.

Adjustment - If the motor keeps running when the

hoist has stopped in the up position the top limit
switch must be lowered. Lower the limit switch
so the hoist will stop 0.5 inch, 13mm before the
mechanical stop.

7. Connect the wires back to terminal #27 and #1.

2.9.2 Check hoist soundome travel.

1. Lower the soundome, push the hoist switch down

in the wheelhouse.

2. Measure the distance from the bottom of the

seachest to the bottom of the soundome under the
boat. The distance should be 16.5 inch, 42mm to
15.5 inch, 39mm.

2.9.3 Packing gland

1. Tighten the packing gland by rotating the two

33
nuts hand tight then two complete turns with a
wrench. Tighten the second nut against the first
nut to lock.

2. When the boat is back in the water cycle the

hoist up and down four times. Check the packing
gland for water. It is normal for the packing gland
to be wet but not dripping with water.

3. Retighten the nuts if water drips after cycling

the hoist. WARNING: Do not tighten the packing
gland too tight. A tight packing gland will hold
the soundome tube from moving and may trip the
circuit breaker or damage to the electric motor.
