FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How far can I see?
Naturally, the clearer the water, the farther you can see. As a general
rule, the camera can see twice as far as the human eye in water - meaning
that if you can see 3 feet down you will be able to see approximately 6
feet in front of the camera. But this is just a rule of thumb, and all
bodies of water will vary. For anglers studying bottom structure, 2 feet
of visibility is sufficient for underwater viewing.
When do I use the infrared lights?
The infrared lights in your Aqua-Vu camera are designed for use in
low-light situations. Turn the power switch to the "ON/LIGHT" position for
enhanced visibility in low light.
How do I steer the camera?
For viewing in the direction of travel use the Front-viewing Fin. Slowly
troll (less than 2 mph) or drift along the structure you intend to view.
With the Front-viewing Fin, the camera will face the boat's direction of
travel. The opposite holds true when using the Back-viewing Fin which
positions the camera for viewing in the direction opposite from the boat's
travel. (The Back viewing Fin, not included with the unit, is available
from dealers or online at www.aquavu.com.)
Can I splice the camera cable to obtain more length?
No. Attempting to splice in additional cable violates the waterproof
integrity of the camera and cable, voiding the warranty.
Can I attach my camera to a downrigger?
Ye s, by using the Cam-Rigger accessory.You can attach your camera to your
downrigger cable at any depth, allowing you to watch your lure - given
adequate water clarity.
How fast can I troll with my camera?
It depends on depth, and also on the length of cable you have out, which
determines water resistance or "drag." The deeper you go, with more cable
out, the more drag there will be, requiring slower travel for good viewing.
Generally, for best viewing, we recommend going less than 2 miles per hour.
Remember, the slower you go, the more detail you will see.
Can I use my Aqua-Vu Z in saltwater?
Ye s. All Aqua-Vu cameras are saltwater-rated, using stainless steel
hardware and materials that are impervious to corrosion.
