Remove the nose cone of the SportScan (Fig.6).
Extract the ballast mounting plate from inside the ballast housing (Fig.7). Make a note of the orientation.
The SportScan is designed to use conventional 3lb lead diving weights as ballast* (Fig.8).
Add at least 9lbs of ballast as far forward as possible, securing the weights using tie-wraps. Adding more
weight will allow the SportScan to be towed at a greater depth.
CAUTION: MAXIMUM DEPTH RATING IS 100 FEET!
Slide the ballast plate back into the housing, reinstall the nose cone, and fit the plastic snap ring (fig.9).
Trimming the SportScan by adjusting the tow shackle position
Immerse the SportScan in still water, and adjust the shackle position so that the SportScan lies parallel to the
water surface (ensure that no air is trapped in the ballast housing, as this will give a false indication).
