INTRODUCTION
The X-65 is the latest member of the Lowrance family that combines a high
performance sonar with a wide screen. Using menu features and “soft-
key” operation, the X-65 is also one of the easiest to use sonars that
Lowrance

has ever built. The wide “Clearvision” screen shows the
underwater world with high resolution and detail. The display and key-
board are also lighted for night operation. The X-65 has digital boat speed,
surface water temperature, and distance travelled (log) screens.

NOTICE!
The storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167
degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celsius). Extended
storage in temperatures higher or lower than specified will damage the
liquid crystal display in your unit. This type of damage is not covered
by the warranty. For more information, contact the factory's Customer
Service Department or your local service center.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
Install the X-65 in any convenient location, provided there is clearance
behind the unit when it is tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the
bracket base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need
to place a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to secure
the mounting hardware. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit
to attach the power and transducer cables.
The X-65's gimbal bracket will also accept the GBSA-1 swivel bracket
adapter that lets you rotate the unit a full 360°.
The smallest hole that allows one power or transducer connector to pass
through is 3/4". After the hole is drilled, push the transducer connector up
through the hole first, then drop the power cable down through it.
