CASE ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCTION / ATTACHING THE CONTROL HEAD

Introduction to CASE ASSEMBLY

The Piranha Portable is available in several different

configurations. You may have purchased the portable

case complete with a Piranha unit ready for opera-

tion.

A Piranha control head you already own may also be

used with the portable case.

The Piranha Portable contains the portable case, a

removable power cable, transducer with 15 feet of

cable, the suction cup transducer mounting kit, and various connecting hardware.

This manual serves for all applications, so there may be some minor differences

between the manual and the actual hardware included, depending on the configura-

tion you purchased.

Piranha Portables are sold with the Piranha 1, 2, 2x, 4, 4x Control heads. The PTC

Portable Piranha kit is adaptable to all Piranha fishfinders.

CASE ASSEMBLY

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES / INTRODUCTION TO MOUNTING

Installing the Batteries

.With a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove both

screws located on either side of the battery door.

2. Insert the 8 AA batteries (not included) into

the case as shown on the diagram inside the

battery compartment.

Note: It is recommended that only high

quality alkaline batteries be used.

3. Before reattaching the battery door, make

sure the silicon gasket is still in place. It

should be just above with the plastic, and

completely in the gasket channel. Make sure

that the gasket is clean of debris.

4. Reattach the battery door to the case using a

#2 Phillips screwdriver. Partially insert one

screw and then the other. Fully seat the

screws.

Hand tighten only; do not use power tools.

5. Under normal use you should expect the life of the batteries to last 25 hours with

the LCD backlights on, to 60 hours with the backlights off.

INTRODUCTION TO MOUNTING

Once your Piranha Portable is fully assembled, (see the

Piranha Portable Case Assembly section for more informa-

tion) it takes just a few easy steps before you are ready to

fish, namely:

1. Mounting the Transducer

2. Mounting the Case.

Mounting the Transducer

1. Detach the transducer suction cup mount from the

back of the case.

2. Unwind the desired amount of cable needed for the fishing platform and then clip

cable on one of the two indentions located on either side.

3. Attach the suction cup to the back of the hull next to the motor. Make sure to keep

the transducer at least 20 inches away from the motor. 5

MOUNTING THE CASE

MOUNTING THE CASE / SURFACE MOUNT

4. When using the suction cup transducer on

a moving boat, it is best to secure the

transducer cable in case of accidental

release. A loose transducer cable can

cause damage to itself, your boat, or

become entangled in the propeller.

Attach

the tie down strap to the transducer cable

and loop the cable around an immovable

object such as a rail or fitting as shown in

the illustration.

5. If desired, mount the case (see Mounting the Case section for more information).

6. Rotate the control head up, power on, and fish (for information on how to use the

control head see your Piranha Operations manual.)

MOUNTING THE CASE

Since it has a large rubber footprint, the Piranha

Portable case grips to almost any surface. If a more

secure attachment is desired, however, there are a

couple of different options to choose from:

1. Surface mount (not included)

2. Nylon web strap (not included).

Surface Mount

The Piranha Portable surface mount is an easy to install mount that allows for quick

and secure attachment to many different surfaces.

1. Place the surface mount on the desired surface and make sure there is enough

room to rotate the case 180 degrees.

2. Put a mark in each curved slot located on the surface mount.

3. Remove the mount and drill two

¹⁄₈

”(3.2mm) pilot holes.

4. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, attach the two #8 screws and black washers pro-

vided in the hardware bags. Hand tighten only; do not use power tools.

5. For best results have the “Piranha” text on the surface mount face you right side

up and horizontal, reading from left to right, as shown in the illustration. This will

line up the control head.

6. Align the universal mount on the back of the Piranha Portable case with the sur-

face mount by turning the portable case 90 degrees.

MOUNTING THE CASE

NYLON WEB STRAP / REMOVING THE CASE AFTER USE

7. Press the center section and then twist the Piranha Portable case until it is facing

you. Six clicks produces maximum clamping and aligns the control head.

8. For fine-tuning, remove the Piranha Portable case and loosen the two screws.

Rotate the surface mount and retighten the screws.

Nylon Web Strap (not included)

There are multiple ways in which to strap your

Piranha Portable to your fishing platform:

1. Friction grooves, located on the left and

the right of the Piranha Portable case,

are specially designed to grip a standard

¹⁄₂

to 2 inch nylon web strap. With the

control head up you can make use of

the friction grooves by wrapping the

nylon web strap around the case.

2. Other ways of strapping that make use

of a

¹⁄₂

-inch nylon web strap that is positioned across the suction cup retainer

bridge, (see illustration above). This is useful when strapping to a seat or tube.

REMOVING THE CASE AFTER USE

1. With the boat engine off, loosen all cable retainers/clips holding the transducer.

2. Remove the case from the surface mount.

3. Remove the transducer from the surface

where it has been mounted.

4. Turn the case over, flip open the rubber cable

retainer by pulling on the tab located at the

upper left corner, and wrap the cable back

into the cable run, then push the cable under

the outer cable clip.

5. If you will not be using the unit again in

the near future, remove the batteries to

prevent corrosion, and store.

MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY

MAINTENANCE / REPLACING THE BATTERY POWER CABLE

MAINTENANCE

Your Humminbird Portable fishfinder is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation with

virtually no maintenance. Follow the simple procedures below to ensure that your Humminbird

Portable continues to deliver top performance.

If you are storing the Portable case for an extended period of time, it is best to remove the bat-

teries from the case in case of leakage.

If the Portable case comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected surfaces with a

cloth dampened in fresh water.

Never leave your Humminbird Portable unit in a closed car or trunk - the extremely high tem-

peratures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics. Repairs should be performed

only by authorized Humminbird technicians.

Replacing the Battery Power Cable

Note: You will not have to install the battery power cable before

first use, but may need to replace it should it become corroded

after prolonged usage in a marine environment.

1. Flip open the rubber cable cover/retainer on the back of the case by pulling on the

tab located at the upper left corner.

Make sure the transducer

cable is totally removed

from the cable channel,

detach the power cable

from the control head

and pull the power cable

through the power cable

hole.

3. Using a

¹⁄₄

”hex driver,

unscrew the battery cable

ends from the positive and

negative studs.

4. Clean the studs if they are

corroded.

5. To install a new power cable, place the red wire on the positive stud and the black

wire on the negative stud.
