Note: Do NOT use power tools during the assembly process. Hand tools only. Snug all screws but do not over tighten.
Tools required:
Philips head screwdriver
10mm" wrench or socket
3mm Allen Wrench provided
The Fish Armor shuttle was designed for ease of assembly. Follow these simple instructions and be on your way.
Step #1:
Remove center shelf by removing 6 button head screws (3 per side) with provided 3mm allen wrench.
Pro Tip: Shelf removal and installations are easiest when shuttle is laying on its side.
Step #2:
Remove internal computer/battery tray. Remove 2 button head screws on back of shuttle with provided 3mm allen wrench.
Pro Tip: This tray can be removed leaving your computer and battery attached for an easy transition to your boat.
Step #3:
Install velcro battery straps as pictured - use the slots that fit your battery.
Pro Tip: As an alternative to using the included velcro straps, you can customize your battery's location. Purchase a high quality sticky back velcro and adhering to the bottom of your battery and top of battery tray. Some of our pro-staff have moved their battery to the far left allowing for more storage. Either system works great!
Step #4:
Install computer (black box). Use provided 1.25" philips head stainless bolts and nylock nuts. IMPORTANT: Bolts must pass from the back of the computer tray toward the front. See picture.
Pro Tip: You can either run your cables and plug into the computer prior to re-installation of bracket, or you can install now and use the back access panel for all plugs. Both ways work great.
Step #5:
Reinstall computer/battery tray into the shuttle by reversing step #2.
Step #5:
Install Gimbal bracket on center shelf. 3/4" bolts and nylock nuts provided.
Pro Tip: By reversing your gimbal bracket, you will get more room in the front of your screen and more shade from the sun when fishing outside. This works best on larger 10" screens but is a good idea for all units. If you are running 9" or smaller screen and upgrade to a 10" know that the center shelf height is adjustable to accommodate the larger screens.
Step #6:
Reinstall shelf reversing step #1.
Do NOT overtighten the screws or damage may occur to your carbon fiber wrap.Pro Tip: Place shuttle on its side and align holes viewing down.
Step #7:
Follow wiring instructions and manufacturers instructions on all cable plugs.
Pro Tip: When installing the transducer cord, there is no reason to have all of the cord wrapped on the handle. Only wrap what you need for your situation and store the remainder inside the box behind your screen.
Step #8:
Go fishing!
