Mounting the Transducer
Your portable transducer is designed to be installed and adjusted without the use of tools. Mounting the transducer
to the boat is a simple, yet important operation. A poor mounting location will affect the overall performance of the
Humminbird unit, so follow the mounting instructions carefully.
It is important that the mounting position allows the transducer to rest beneath the surface of the water, pointing
straight down.
You can mount the transducer anywhere on the side of the boat if your boat remains stationary.
If you are trolling, it is best to mount the transducer on the transom of the boat.
1. Mount the transducer so that it points straight down, and so that the transducer itself is submerged in the water.
2. Adjust the running angle so that the transducer is parallel to and below the surface of the water.
3. Hand-tighten the wing nut so that the transducer will not rotate.
4. Secure the transducer cable in case of accidental release when the boat is moving, since a loose transducer can cause
damage to itself, your boat, or become tangled in the propeller. Attach the tie-down strap to the transducer cable
around an immovable object such as a rail or fitting, as shown in the illlustration.
5. When you have finished using the transducer, pivot the transducer body flat against the bracket and coil the cable
around the assembly.

Connecting the Cable
Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate terminal slot. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are
corresponding labels on the cable holder on the rear of the control head. The slots are keyed to prevent reversed
installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder.
Refer to your manual and/or control head installation guide for the correct procedure for installing the cable
connectors to the control head.
1. Plug the other end of the transducer cable back into the control head connection holder.
