This document provides an installation guide for the Lowrance HOOK Reveal 9, a marine electronics device designed to enhance fishing and boating experiences. The guide covers both bracket mounting and panel mounting options, detailing the steps required for a secure installation. It also outlines the components included with the device and lists separately sold accessories that can further enhance its functionality.
The HOOK Reveal 9 is primarily a fishfinder and chartplotter, integrating advanced sonar technologies with GPS navigation. Its core function is to help users locate fish and navigate waterways with greater precision. The device combines Lowrance's CHIRP sonar with DownScan Imaging, allowing users to see fish and structure with high clarity. A key feature is FishReveal, which merges the target separation of CHIRP sonar with the high-resolution images of structure from DownScan Imaging, making fish easier to identify. This means users can see fish targets illuminated on a detailed view of bottom structure, rather than just as ambiguous shapes.
For navigation, the HOOK Reveal 9 includes a GPS plotter, enabling users to create routes, mark waypoints, and navigate to their favorite fishing spots or explore new areas. It supports detailed C-MAP charts, which provide comprehensive mapping of coastal and inland waters, including depth contours, navigation aids, and points of interest. Users can also create custom contour maps of their local lakes or uncharted waters in real-time using Genesis Live, a feature that allows for personalized mapping with 1/2-foot contours. This is particularly useful for anglers who want to map out specific fishing grounds with extreme detail.
The device is designed for ease of use, featuring a simple menu operation and a dedicated keypad that provides quick access to key functions. The display is sunlight readable, ensuring visibility even in bright conditions, which is crucial for outdoor marine environments. This allows users to clearly see sonar readings, charts, and other data without glare or washout.
In terms of usage features, the HOOK Reveal 9 offers multiple sonar options depending on the transducer included. The SplitShot transducer provides traditional CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging, suitable for anglers who need a good balance of fishfinding and structure identification. The TripleShot transducer expands on this by adding SideScan Imaging, which allows users to see structure and fish to the sides of their boat, covering a wider area with each pass. For deeper water or specific fishing techniques, a 50/200 kHz Skimmer transducer might be included, offering different frequency options for optimal performance in various conditions. The choice of transducer dictates the specific sonar capabilities available to the user.
The device also includes a single card reader slot for a Micro SD card. This slot is essential for several functions:
Powering the HOOK Reveal 9 requires a DC input between 10.4 and 17.0 V, with a power consumption of less than 19.4 W, protected by a 3 A fuse. This makes it compatible with standard 12V marine electrical systems.
For maintenance, the device is rated IPX6 and IPX7, indicating high levels of water resistance. IPX6 means it can withstand powerful jets of water, while IPX7 means it can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes without damage. This robust design ensures durability in harsh marine environments, protecting against rain, spray, and accidental splashes. Regular cleaning of the display and connectors with fresh water after use in saltwater environments is recommended to prevent corrosion and maintain optimal performance. The document package included with the device likely contains further details on cleaning and care.
Accessories available separately enhance the device's protection and installation flexibility. A sun cover (part no.: 000-14176-001) is available to protect the display from UV exposure and scratches when not in use, prolonging the life of the screen. A panel mounting kit (part no.: 000-14189-001) offers an alternative installation method, allowing the device to be flush-mounted into a boat's dashboard or console for a more integrated and streamlined look. This kit typically includes templates and hardware for precise cutting and mounting.
Overall, the Lowrance HOOK Reveal 9 is a versatile and user-friendly marine electronics device designed to provide anglers and boaters with powerful sonar and navigation capabilities, all within a durable and easy-to-install package. Its combination of advanced sonar, detailed mapping, and robust construction makes it a valuable tool for enhancing any on-water adventure.
