NOTE:
This type of transducer installation is not recommended for trailerable boats.
NOTE:
This transducer requires drilling a hole in the hull of the boat; therefore, installation should be performed by a
qualified marine technician.
In addition to the hardware supplied with your transducer, you will need a drill, a small drill bit for a pilot hole, a
1 1/8" hole saw, a level, and marine-grade silicone sealant.
Installation
Perform the procedures in the following sections to install the transducer on your boat.
1.
Testing the Transducer Prior to Installation
Prior to installation, test the transducer to make sure that no damage occurred during shipping.
1. After connecting the transducer to the control head, hold the transducer in the water over the side of the boat
to confirm proper operation. If the transducer is working properly, you should be able to see the bottom on the
control head display. The bottom image should be relatively strong and there should be detailed structure on the
display.
2.
Locating the Transducer Mounting Position
Outside the boat:
The best location for the transducer will be aft midship, as close to the centerline of the boat as
possible. The transducer should be mounted forward of the propellers on inboard boats, and separated adequately
from other transducers, strakes, rivet lines, or other protrusions. Make sure that there is nothing in front, behind, or to
the side of the transducer that is closer than 12".
WARNING!
Do NOT install the transducer in line with the engine intake.
Inside the boat:
There must be room to access the mounting location for installation and cable routing.
Deadrise:
Another consideration is the angle of deadrise.
•
The transducer, when mounted, should point straight down. If the selected mounting location has a hull deadrise
of 2 degrees or greater, the included leveling block should be used to level the transducer housing and direct the
sonar signal straight down.
• If you need to use the leveling block, make sure that the inside surface of the hull is smooth enough to seat the
leveling block securely.

WARNING!
This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent
collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving,
water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate
the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
WARNING!
Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be
performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number
or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized
individuals will void the warranty.
WARNING!
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and/or reproductive harm.
WEEE Directive:
EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive (WEEE)” impacts most distributors, sellers, and manufacturers
of consumer electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive requires the
producer of consumer electronics to take responsibility for the management of
waste from their products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during
the product life cycle.
WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical &
electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it be required for EEE designed and
intended as fixed or temporary installation in transportation vehicles such as
automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European Union member states, these
vehicles are considered outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE for those
applications can be considered excluded from the WEEE Directive requirement.
This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the product must
not be disposed of with other household refuse. It must be disposed of
and collected for recycling and recovery of waste EEE. Johnson
Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. will mark all EEE products in
accordance with the WEEE Directive. It is our goal to comply in the collection,
treatment, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of those products;
however, these requirements do vary within European Union member states.
For more information about where you should dispose of your waste equipment
for recycling and recovery and/or your European Union member state
requirements, please contact your dealer or distributor from which your product
was purchased.
Maintenance
If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other
marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically
clean the face of the transducer with hot water.
If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take
some time to wet the transducer after it is returned to the water. Small air
bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper
operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may wipe the face of
the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.

We warrant the original retail purchaser that products made by Humminbird®
have been manufactured free from defects in materials and workmanship.
This warranty is effective for one year from the date of original retail

Please retain your original receipt as a proof of the purchase date. This will be

THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES,
OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF HUMMINBIRD® AND WILL BE
THE CUSTOMER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, EXCEPT FOR ANY APPLICABLE

EVENT WILL HUMMINBIRD® BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
