Important

It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices.

Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world including the TRACKFISH. Whilst the Navman TRACKFISH is a precision navigation instrument, it can be misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting the TRACKFISH, the user must read and understand all aspects of this Installation and Operation manual. We also suggest that the user practice all operations using the built in simulator before using the TRACKFISH at sea.

Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKFISH is an aid to navigation and is designed to supplement the use of ofﬁcial government charts not replace them. Only ofﬁcial government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the information provided by the TRACKFISH with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree then the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.

Sonar fishfinder: The accuracy of the sonar depth display can be limited by many factors, including the type of the transducers, the location of the transducers and water conditions. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the TRACKFISH transducers are installed and used correctly.

Fuel Computer: Fuel economy can alter drastically depending on the boat loading and sea conditions. The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available fuel onboard and the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when ﬁlling the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not switched on or other operator controlled actions that may render the device inaccurate.Always ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended trip plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

TRACKFISH 6600 Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN

1 Introduction

The Navman TRACKFISH 6600 is a compact, rugged, highly integrated GPS navigation chartplotter and sonar ﬁshﬁnder. It is designed to be easy to use and has a large, easy to read colour display. Complex navigation or ﬁshﬁnding functions can be performed with a few key presses, taking the hard work out of boating.

This manual describes how to install and operate the TRACKFISH and gives troubleshooting and operating tips.

chosen and the type of transducer used.

The TRACKFISH can be used to ﬁnd ﬁsh, to locate features on the bottom such as reefs or wrecks and to help recognize favourite ﬁshing spots from the bottom proﬁle.

The TRACKFISH uses Navman’s proprietary SBN technology for sonar processing. Digital adaptive ﬁlter algorithms enhance all returned signals and ﬁlter false returns. Active noise control rejects interference, which can often be mistaken by ﬁshﬁnders for true returns.

GPS Navigation

The TRACKFISH has a built-in chart of the world, suitable for route planning and general interest. To see chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP™ chart card (an electronic chart).

The TRACKFISH receives GPS position information from an external GPS antenna and displays the boat’s position and speed.

The TRACKFISH can navigate to a point or can navigate along a route. When the boat is navigating to one of these points, the TRACKFISH displays course information for the helmsman to follow. The TRACKFISH can control an autopilot.

Sonar fishfinding

The TRACKFISH has a 50 kHz / 200 kHz dual frequency sonar transducer and a 600 W RMS power output to ensure that the TRACKFISH operates effectively in shallow and deep water. The TRACKFISH can detect the bottom to a depth of 3300 feet (1000 metres) depending on the clarity of the water, the ultrasonic frequency

Other functions

With an optional fuel kit, the TRACKFISH becomes a sophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer. Navigation data can be saved to a plug-in user card so that it can be easily transferred to another Navman chartplotter.

The TRACKFISH is part of the Navman family of instruments, which includes instruments for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be connected together to form an integrated data system (see section 16-6).

For maximum beneﬁt, please read this manual carefully before installing and using the unit. Special terms are explained in Appendix C.

1-1 Cleaning and maintenance

The TRACKFISH screen is covered by a proprietary anti-reﬂection coating. To avoid damage, clean the screen only with a damp cloth and mild detergent when dirty or covered in sea salt. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents. If a plug-in card gets dirty or wet, clean it with a damp cloth or mild detergent.

Cover or remove a transom-mounted transducer when repainting the hull. If painting over a through hull transducer with antifouling paint, use only one coat of paint. Remove the previous coat of antifouling paint by sanding it lightly.

To optimize performance, avoid walking on or jamming cables and connectors. Keep the transducer free of weed, paint and debris. Do not use a high pressure water blast on a speed sensor paddlewheel as it may damage the bearings.

Push the dust cover over the display when the TRACKFISH is turned off.

TRACKFISH 6600 Installation and Operation Manual

1-2 Plug-in cards

The TRACKFISH can use two kinds of plugin card:

C-MAP™ chart cards have chart details required for navigating in a particular region. When a chart card is plugged in, the extra details automatically appear on the TRACKFISH chart display.

C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigation data. Each user card expands the TRACKFISH memory and allows the data to be transferred to another TRACKFISH easily (see section 13).

Note: The older 5 volt user cards are not supported.

Changing the plug-in card

The TRACKFISH has two card slots and can use two plug-in cards at the same time. It does not matter which slot a card is inserted in.

Warning: Handle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them in their protective cases when not plugged into the TRACKFISH.

Warning: Keep the holders in place in the TRACKFISH at all times to prevent moisture from entering the card compartment.

3-6 Tracks and tracking

Tracking records the boat’s position to memory at regular intervals, which can be:

Time intervals.

Or distance intervals.

The track of where the boat has been can be displayed on the chart. The TRACKFISH can display one track while recording another.

To work with tracks, (see section 15-6). The TRACKFISH can store ﬁve tracks:

Track 1 can hold up to 2000 points and is intended to record the normal progress of the boat.

Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500 points each and are intended to record sections to be retraced accurately, for example entering a river mouth.

Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.

When recording is on and the track becomes full then recording continues and the oldest points in the track are deleted.

The maximum length of a track depends on the selected track interval: a small interval will give a shorter, more detailed track and a long interval will give a longer, less detailed track, as shown in these examples:

Time intervals

Interval	Track 1		Track 2, 3, 4 or 5
1 sec	33	minutes	8	minutes
10 sec	5.5	hours	1.4	hours
1 min	33	hours	8	hours
Distance intervals
Interval	Track 1		Track 2, 3, 4 or 5
0.01	20		5
1	2,000		500
10	20,000		5,000

The track lengths are in the current distance units, for example nm.
