Transducer Installation
There are two different installation methods for your transducer:
• Transom Transducer
• Trolling Motor Transducer.
Find the section that describes the method of installation you will be using.
NOTE:
If the included transducer will not work for your application, you may exchange it,
NEW and UNASSEMBLED, with mounting hardware included, for a transducer
appropriate for your application - often at very little or no charge depending on the
transducer. Call the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center at
1-800-633-1468
for
details and pricing, or visit

.
NOTE:
In addition to the hardware supplied with your transducer, you will need a powered
hand drill and various drill bits, various hand tools, including a ruler or straightedge, a
marker or pencil, safety glasses and dust mask, and marine-grade silicone sealant.
NOTE:
When drilling holes in fiberglass hulls, it is best to start with a smaller bit and use
progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.
NOTE:
Due to the wide variety of hulls, only general instructions are presented in
this installation guide. Each boat hull represents a unique set of requirements that
should be evaluated prior to installation. It is important to read the instructions
completely and understand the mounting guidelines before beginning installation.
Transducer Mount Position
Unobstructed View
: The jack plate gives
the transducer safe distance from the motor
and turbulence. The side imaging has a
clear view side-to-side.
Obstructed View
: The transducer is too
close to motor turbulence, and the side
imaging view is blocked by the motor. The
view cannot extend from side-to-side.
The Side Imaging transducer has some special requirements
because of its side viewing capabilities:
• The Side Imaging transducer must NOT have anything
obstructing the ‘view’ of the side looking beams, i.e.
nothing can be in the line of sight of these beams (not a
hull, motor, or other transducer, etc).
NOTE:
You may need to tilt the motor up and out of the way when
using the side looking beams.
• In order for the side beams to be displayed accurately, the
transducer must be mounted so that it is looking straight
down in the water when the boat is in the water.
