INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing an Eagle® sonar. Your SupraPro I.D.™ is a high
quality sonar designed for both professional and novice fishermen. Although it's a low cost unit, it has features available only on other units that
cost much more. This unit has an automatic feature that finds and displays
the bottom, fish, structure, and more! All you have to do is press the ON
key. However, if you wish to fine tune the unit, simply press the menu key.
The SupraPro I.D. has powerful features available through easy-to-use
menus.
To get started with your Eagle unit, first read the installation section. This
is where it all begins. Improper installation can cause problems down the
road. After you’ve read the instructions, install the unit, then read the rest
of the manual. The more you know about your unit, the better it will perform
for you. Take this manual for reference when you head for the water.

INSTALLATION - Bracket
You can install the SupraPro I.D. on the top of a dash or from an overhead
with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an
optional IDA-3 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be
interested in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. This converts the
SupraPro I.D.'s gimbal bracket to a swivel mount which can be used on the
dash mounting position. Installation instructions for the in-dash and swivel
mounting kits are supplied with the adapter kits.
Mount the SupraPro I.D. in any convenient location, provided there is
clearance when it’s tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket’s
base allow wood screw or through bolt mounting. It may be necessary to
place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin panels to reinforce the
panel. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the
power and transducer cables.
Drill a hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The best
location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket. This way, the
bracket covers the hole. The smallest hole the power and transducer cable
connector can pass through is 5/8". INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER FIRST!
Then route the cable from the transducer to the unit by passing the power
and transducer cables through the hole from under the dash. Slide the
bracket over the hole, then route the transducer and power cables out the
slot in the back of the bracket. Finally, fasten the bracket to the dash.

POWER CONNECTIONS
NOTE! INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER BEFORE MAKING THE POWER
CONNECTIONS!
The SupraPro I.D. works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best
results, run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power
cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will
give the best isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long
enough to reach the battery, splice #18 gauge insulated wire to it. You can
attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however, you may
have problems with electrical interference. Make certain to attach the inline fuse holder to the positive lead as close to the battery or terminal strip
as possible. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event
of a short. The SupraPro I.D. uses a 3-amp fuse.
WARNING!
Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable!
Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty!
TO TRANSDUCER
This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if
the power wires are reversed.
However, the unit will not work
until the wires are attached correctly.

SUPRAPRO I.D. PORTABLE ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
Release the latch on the front of the battery case. Open the compartment
and install four "D" cell batteries into the adapter. For the longest life, we
recommend you use alkaline batteries. This battery case will also hold one
rechargable battery instead of the "D" cells. See the enclosed coupon for
more information on the rechargable battery.
"D" CELL BATTERY
After installing the batteries, close the case and plug the power cable on
the battery case into the SupraPro I.D Portable. Plug the adapter cable into
the back of the sonar unit. Turn the sonar unit on. If it doesn't work, make
certain the battery terminals are making good contact against the battery
contacts. Also check the wiring connections on the D-cell battery adapter.
The red wire on the power cable should be attached to the red wire on the
D-cell battery adapter and the power cable's black wire should be connected to the black wire on the D-cell battery adapter. If it still doesn't work,
check the battery voltage. Most of the complaints we receive about
6
portable units result from stale batteries. Make certain the ones you buy
are fresh. Always remove batteries from the battery compartment before
storing the unit as dead batteries can leak and corrode the contacts.
In cold weather the efficiency of dry cell batteries drops with the temperature. It's a good idea to have the SupraPro I.D. Portable good and warm
along with the batteries before we leave home. If the batteries do lose a
charge, you can sometimes restore them by placing them in a warm room
or car interior. A better way is to replace them with batteries that have been
kept warm. Don't ever heat the batteries over an open flame or direct hot
air onto them. A fire or explosion could result.
PORTABLE TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY
Assemble the transducer and bracket as shown below. Attach the
transducer to the bracket with the supplied hardware. Make certain there
is one washer on each side of the transducer, inside the bracket. Slide the
other washer over the end of the bolt and thread the nut onto it. Screw the
suction cup onto the bracket using the supplied screw and flat washer. Tie
the nylon cord through the hole in the top of the bracket. When using this
transducer, tie the other end of the nylon cord to the boat. This will help
prevent the loss of the transducer if it comes off the boat.

Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Locate
the transducer on the hull as shown below. Don't allow the bracket to go
below the hull, as water pressure against it can cause the suction cup to
come off at speed. Moisten the cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly as
possible. Tie the nylon cord to the boat and route the transducer cable to
the sonar unit. Plug the transducer connector into the "Y" power cable on
the SupraPro ID's battery case. Your portable sonar is now ready for use.
HULL
PERMANENT MOUNT TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION
The HS-WSPC supplied with your SupraPro I.D. is a transom mount
transducer. It can be installed on any outboard or stern-drive
(inboard\outboard) powered boat. It can also be permanently installed
inside the boat to "shoot-through" the hull on some fiberglass boats.
The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer
strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does “kickup”, the bracket can easily be pushed back in place without tools.
Read the enclosed transducer installation manual carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is
right for your boat. Use extreme care if mounting the transducer inside
the hull, since once it is epoxied into position, the transducer usually
cannot be removed. Remember, the transducer location is the most
critical part of a sonar installation. If it isn’t done properly, the sonar can’t
perform to it’s designed potential.
