Thank you for purchasing a NAVMAN 400 series fishfinder. The 400 series is a powerful, yet easy
to use sonar fish and bottom depth detector. Please read this manual carefully before installing and
using your fishfinder. This manual deals with both the FISH400 and FISH440. The more you know
and understand about the capabilities of the unit, the better it will perform for you.

Installation
Location
The FISH400 and FISH440 are water resistant
and may be mounted and operated in many
positions thanks to its compact and robust
bracket, associated with a swivel support.
Note
It may be advisable to install the
transducer and wiring before finalising
the location of the display head and
bracket.
35.0 (1.4")
When installing the display head, select a position
where it will be:
• at least 300 mm ( 12" ) away from the
compass.
• at least 300 mm ( 12" ) away from any
radio transmitter, such as the VHF.
• easy to read by the helmsman and crew
while under way.
• protected from physical damage during
rough sea passages.
• have easy access to the 12 volt power
source.
• convenient to route the transducer cables.

Installation The Transducer
Read this section carefully before attempting
the transducer installation. Remember, the
transducer location is the most critical part
of the installation. If this is not done properly,
the transducer can’t perform at its designed
potential. Therefore the performance of the
fishfinder, especially at higher speeds, will not
be satisfactory.
• Transom Mount T ransducer
Location
The transducer can be installed on any outboard
or sterndrive powered boat. The transom mount
transducer has a safety “kick up” mounting
bracket to help minimise damage to the
transducer should it impact the bottom or floating
debris in the water.
Select a position for the transducer that will:
• allow the transducer a smooth flow of
water over its surface at all times.
• ensure a mount as deep in the water as
possible.
• be clear of any interference from the trailer
when launching or retrieving the boat.
• be away from planing strakes or other
projections from the hull that may cause
aerated water to flow over the face of the
transducer.
• be away from the propeller
• be at least 150 mm ( 6" ) away from the
keel of the boat.
Mounting
Once the best location of the transducer is
determined, hold the transducer and bracket
against the transom. The bottom surface of the
transducer needs to sit parallel to the surface of
the water for the best signal retur n. The lower
face of the transducer should extend down
below the bottom of the hull so that it will be
below the surface of the water at high speeds.
(See fig. 2.1)

Minimum
immersion
required
Mark the transom through the bracket slots to
correctly place the two outer screws. Now drill
the two holes in the centre of the slots. This will
allow you to adjust the transducer position later
on if required. Use two of the three stainless
screws supplied to attach the bracket to the
transom. Ensure the lower face of the transducer
is parallel with the ground (see fig. 3.1 and 3.2).
Tighten the two screws.
