INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

Your Humminbird fishfinder consists of two primary components to install: the control

head and the transducer.

The control head contains the sonar transmit and receive circuitry, as well as the user

controls and display. It should be installed in a location that provides access to the

controls and visibility while in use. The control head mounts on a quick disconnect

mounting system that swivels and tilts providing flexibility for viewing from almost

anywhere on the boat.

The transducer converts electrical energy from the transmitter into mechanical pulses or

sound waves. The transducer also receives the reflected sound waves and converts

them back into electrical signals for display on the control head. It should be installed in

contact with the surface of the water in an area that has smooth waterflow-usually on

the transom ofthe boat. There are several mounting options for the transducer. Review

the following section to determine the method that works for you and your boat.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

Determining How to Mount the Transducer

Your Humminbird fishfinder includes a standard

transducer. This transducer can be mounted on the

transom of the boat or bonded to the inside of a fiberglass

hull boat.

The transom installation, which is the most widely used,

places the transducer on the outside of the boat hull. This

technique produces the least signal loss, and provides a

way to adjust the transducer after installation. The

mounting hardware included is designed to protect both

the boat and the transducer should the boat strike debris in

the water or when trailering.

As an alternative to transom mounting, it is possible on many

fiberglass-hulled boats to glue the transducer on the inside of

the boat hull. Since fiberglass has similar sonar

characteristics as water, the sonar signal can pass through

the boat hull with minimal loss. The hull of the boat must be

single layer construction (not double-hulled) Also, any air

trapped in the lamination of the fiberglass would prevent the

sonar signal from passing through.

Inside the hull installations require no holes be drilled into the

boat and through experimentation, high-speed operation

comparable to transom mounting can be achieved. Two-part

slow cure epoxy (not included) is required to glue the transducer in place.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

ALTERNATE MOUNTING METHODS

ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS

Your Humminbird fishfinder comes with everything necessary for installation and

operation on most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a

different type of transducer. Inboard boats, wood or metal hulls, and sail boats create

unique transducer mounting needs Alternate transducers and mounting methods are

detailed below.

Portable Mounting

The standard transducer can be adapted for portable

installations with a portable mounting kit available from

Humminbird. This accessory adapts your transducer to a

suction cup mount for temporary installation on the boat hull

or other surface.

Trolling Motor Mounting

The standard transducer can also be adapted to mount on

most trolling motors using a different accessory kit. This

accessory includes a bracket and hose clamp that allows

mounting the transducer to the body of most trolling motors.

Thru-Hull Mounting

Thru-hull transducers install through a hole drilled in the hull

of the boat. Larger boats or boats with inboard motors create

turbulence that make transom mounting ineffective. Also,

hulls that are very thick or are double layered, or made from

materials such as wood or metal, (which do not conduct

sonar signals) make inside the hull mounting inadvisable.

Thru-hull mounting may require the use of a fairing block to level the transducer with the

waterline. Also, since special tools and knowledge may be required to perform this type

of installation, it is best to refer to a qualified marine technician.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE

Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard transducer. You may

exchange your new and unassembled transducer for another type by returning it to the

address listed in Customer Support. Some transducers may have additional cost. Refer

to the Accessory catalog or call Customer Support for information.

BEGINNING INSTALLATION

Now that you have determined the transducer mounting method you can begin

installation of your new Humminbird fishfinder. The installation guide included on the

next few pages provides detailed step by step instructions for installation of the control

head and transducer. For transom mount transducer installations you will need the

mounting template included with your manual.

In addition to the parts included you need the following for installation and operation:

•A powered hand drill and various drill bits

•Philips and flat-head screwdrivers

•A ruler or measuring tape

•Pen or pencil

•12 volt power source (your boat’s battery)

•A 1-amp fuse

•A fuse holder (if you are wiring directly to the boat’s battery)

•Silicone sealant (for sealing drilled holes)

•2-part, slow-cure epoxy (for inside the hull transducer installations)

INSTALLATION

TRANSOM INSTALLATION

Do not begin this transducer installation until you read the Installation

Preparation in the Operation Guide. This chapter contains information critical to

the correct installation of your transducer.

Due to the wide variety of boat hulls, only general instructions are presented in

the installation guide. Each boat hull represents a unique set of requirements that

should be evaluated prior to installation.

TRANSOM INSTALLATION

Step One -Determine Where to Mount the Transducer

Begin the transducer installation by determining where on the

transom to install the transducer. Consider the following to find

the best location:

•It is very important to locate the transducer in an area which is

relatively free of turbulent water, As aboat moves through the

water, turbulence is generated by the weight of the boat, and

the thrust of the propeller(s). This turbulent water is normally

confined to areas immediately aft of ribs, strakes or rows of

rivets on the bottom of the boat, and in the immediate area of

the propeller(s) (Figure 1). On outboard or inboard/outboard

boats it is best to stay at least 15” (40cm) to the side of the

propeller(s).

•If possible, viewing the transom of the boat while the boat is

moving will provide the best means of locating turbulence free

water. If maximum high-speed operation is a high priority, this

is the recommended method. If this is not possible, select a

location on the transom where the hull forward of this location

is smooth, flat, and free of protrusions or ribs.

•The transducer when mounted should point straight down.

The design of the transducer will accommodate a wide range

of deadrises and remain ported straight down (Figure 2).

•On boats with stepped hulls, it may be possible to mount the transducer on the step.

Never mount the transducer on the transom behind a step, as this area of the

transom will not be in contact with the water at high speed (Figure 3).

INSTALLATION

TRANSOM INSTALLATION

•If the propeller(s) is (are) forward of the transom, itmay be impossible to find an

area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type

should be considered.

Step Two -Drill the Mounting Holes

1. Remove the mounting template from the front of the Operations Manual.

2. Hold the template on the transom of the boat in the location where the transducer

will be installed (Figure 4). Align the template vertically, ensuring the lower edge of

the transom meets with the bottom corner of the template.

3. Using a pencil or punch, mark the two mounting holes

shown on the template onto the transom. Do not mark or

drill any other holes at this time.

4. Using a 5/32” (4mm) bit drill the two holes to a depth of

approximately 1" (3cm). On fiberglass hulls, it is best to

start with a smaller bit and useprogressively larger drill bits

to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer

coating.

Step Three -Assemble the Transducer

1. Attach the Pivot to the transducer body as shown in Figure

5, using the #8–3/8” (9mm) long allen headed pivot screw,

the headed pin, the two flat washers, and the two toothed

lock washers.

Note: The toothed lock washers must be positioned

between the transducer and the pivot ears. The flat

washers must be positioned to the outside at the pivot

ears.

2. Using the AIlen wrenches provided, loosely tighten the pivot

screw (Figure 6). Do not completely tighten the assembly at

this time, so the pivot angle can be adjusted later.

3. Insert the pivot/transducer assembly into the mounting

bracket as shown in Figure 7. Do not snap the assembly

closed.

INSTALLATION

TRANSOM INSTALLATION

Step Four -Mount the Transducer to the Transom

1. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom.

2. Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom (Figure 8).

3. Use either a flat head screwdriver, a 5/16" (8mm) hex driver, or a 5/16" (8mm)

socket to mount the assembly. Using the two #10–1”

(25mm) long slotted hex head screws, mount the transducer

assembly to the transom as shown. Do not fully tighten the

mounting screws in order to vertically adjust the transducer.

Snap the pivot down into place.

Step Five -Adjust the Running Position of the Transducer

The bracket allows height and tilt adjustment, the pivot screws

allow angular adjustment. Initially, adjust the transducer as

described in the following paragraphs. Further adjustment may

be necessary to refine the instillation after high speed testing.

1. First adjust the pivot angle of the transducer body so its

length is parallel with the length of hull of the boat. Then

pivot the transducer down so the rear is about 1/4 inch

(6mm) lower than the front (Figure 9).

2. Fully tighten the two pivot screws using the Allen wrenches.

It may be necessary to retighten the pivot screws after the

initial use as the plastics may still be seating to the lock

washers.

3. Adjust the height of the assembly so the face of the

transducer is 3/16" (4.5mm) beneath the lower edge of the

transom (Figure 10). Mark the position of the mounting

bracket on the transom with a pencil.

4. Force the pivot to the up position to gain access to the

mounting screws. Assure the transducer location has not

changed, then fully tighten the two mounting screws (Figure

11). Snap the pivot back down.

Confirm the pivot angle has not changed.

Note: A third screw location is provided for the

mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and

adjustments have been completed.

INSTALLATION

TRANSOM INSTALLATION

Step Six -Route the Cable

There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the to the area where the

control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the

transom into the boat.

Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other

wiring that the cable can be routed along. Do not cut or shorten

the transducer cable and try not to damage the cable insulation.

Route the cable as far as practical from the VHF radio antenna

cables or tachometer cable to reduce the possibility of

interference.

If the cable is too short, extension cables are available to extend

the transducer cable up to a total of 50' (15 m). Call Humminbird

Customer Support for more information.

Follow these steps to route the cable through the transom:

1. Drill a 5/8” (16mm) hole above the water line. Route the

cable through the hole.

2. Fill the hole with silicone sealant.

3. Place the escutcheon plate over the hole and attach with the two #8 x 5/8” (16mm)

screws.

4. Secure the cable by attaching the cable camp to the transom using a #8 x 5/8”

(16mm) screw.

Note: The transducer will pivot up to 90 degrees in the bracket. Allow enough

slack in the cable for this movement. It is best to route the cable to the side of the

transducer so the cable will not be damaged by the transducer during movement.

INSTALLATION

INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION

Inside the hull installation requires the mount system and control

head be installed and operational. See Installing the Control Head

for instruction on installing the unit.

Inside the hull mounting generally produces good results in single

thickness fiberglass-hulled boats. Humminbird cannot guarantee

depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the

hull of the boat since some signal loss occurs. The amount of loss

depends on hull construction and thickness, and the installation.

This installation requires slow-cure two-part epoxy. Do not use

silicone or any other soft adhesive to install the transducer, as this

material reduces the sensitivity of the unit. Five minute epoxy has

a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged.

Step One -Determine the Mounting Location

Begin the transducer installation by determining where inside the

hull to install the transducer. Consider the following to find the

best location:

•Observe the outside of the boat hull to find the areas that are

mostly free from turbulent water. Avoid ribs, strakes, and other

protrusions as these create turbulence (Figure 14).

•As a general rule, the faster the boat can travel the further aft

and closer to the centerline of the hull the transducer has to be

located to remain in contact with the water at high speeds.

Step Two -Test the Mounting Location

There is no opportunity for adjustment after the transducer glued

in place. Therefore, it is best to perform a trial installation on inside the hull transducers

first, and run the boat at high speeds to determine the best mounting area.

1. At the identified mounting location, lay the transducer body face down with the

pointed end towards the bow.

2. Fill the hull with enough water to submerge the transducer body. Use a sand filled

bag or other heavy object to hold the transducer in position.

The transducer cannot transmit through air. The water purges any air from between

the transducer and the hull and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.
