High Speed Transducer

2. Insert the headed pin through the pivot holes in the bracket and pivot. The headed pin can be inserted from either side
of the bracket.
3. Place the nylon washer over the opposite end of the headed pin. Place the stainless washer over the 1/4”–20 x 5/8”
screw threads, then insert into the opposite end of the headed pin and finger tighten only. The screw has a thread
locking compound on the threads to prevent loosening, and should not be fully tightened until all adjustments are made.
5.
Running Position Adjustment
The running position of the transducer is now completely adjustable. Subsequent adjustment may be necessary to
tweak the installation after high speed testing. The mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment; the pivot
screws allow angle adjustment.
1. Adjust the angle of the transducer body first, so it is parallel with the hull of the boat, and fully tighten the two pivot
screws using the supplied Allen wrench. Access to the pivot screws is provided by the lower holes in the side of the
mounting bracket.
2. Next, adjust the height of the assembly so the face of the transducer is 1/8” (3 mm) to 1/4” (6 mm) beneath the bottom
of the transom, and fully tighten the three mounting screws. In order to gain access to the mounting screws, the
transducer assembly must be pivoted up into the bracket as shown. Be careful not to alter the running angle as some
force is necessary to pivot the assembly.
3. If access to the top mounting hole is not possible due to the selected height of the transducer, fully tighten the two lower
screws. Remove the headed pivot pin and the transducer assembly, tighten the top screw, and then reassemble.
4. Confirm that the pivot angle has not changed and that all mounting screws are fully tightened.
6.
Routing the Cable
There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head will be installed. The most
common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat.
NOTE:
Your boat may have a pre-existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable.
1. Unplug the other end of the transducer cable from the control head. Make sure that the cable is long enough to
accommodate the planned route by running the cable over the transom.
CAUTION!
Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable, and try not to damage the cable insulation. Route the cable as far
as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables 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). For assistance,
contact the Customer Resource Center at
www.humminbird.com
or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information.
NOTE:
The Two Piece Kick-up transducers can 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.
2a. If you are routing the cable over the transom of the boat, secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom,
drilling 9/64"dia. holes for #8 x 5/8" (16 mm) wood screw(s), then skip directly to step 5.
2b. If you will be routing the cable through a hole in the transom, drill a 5/8" diameter (16 mm) hole above the waterline.
Route the cable through this hole, then fill the hole with marine-grade silicone sealant and proceed to the next step
immediately.
3. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and use it as a guide to mark the two escutcheon plate mounting holes.
Remove the plate, drill two 9/64" dia. (3.5 mm) x 5/8" deep (16 mm) holes, then fill both holes with marine-grade silicone
sealant. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and attach with two #8 x 5/8" (16 mm) wood screws.
4. Route and secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom; drill one 9/64" dia. (3.5 mm) x 5/8" deep (16
mm) hole, then fill hole with marine-grade silicone sealant, then attach the cable clamp using a #8 x 5/8" (16 mm) screw.
5. Plug the other end of the transducer cable back into the control head connection holder.
