Humminbird wide series fishfinder operation manual 42 pages. The control head contains the sonar transmit and receive circuitry, as well as the user controls and display. 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. 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.
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.
Page 6 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. Page 7 If the propeller s is are forward of the transom, it may 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. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom. Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom Figure 8. Page 10 mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and adjustments have been completed.
Page 11 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. Page 12 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.
Page 13 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. Page 14 3. Power up the Control Head.
Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the Control Head. If the unit functions well at low speeds but begins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer needs to be moved. If depth performance is required, test the fishfinder in water at the desired depth. Extension cables are available. Page 16 fuse in the connection. If you must wire the control head directly to a battery, be sure to install an inline fuse holder Inside the hull installations require no holes be drilled into the boat and through experimentation, high-speed.
Two-part slow cure epoxy not included is required to glue the transducer in place. 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.
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. 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. 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.
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. 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:. 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. Begin the transducer installation by determining where on the transom to install the transducer. Consider the following to find the best location:. 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.
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 design of the transducer will accommodate a wide range of deadrises and remain ported straight down Figure 2. 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.
Remove the mounting template from the front of the Operations Manual. 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. 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. On 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: 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. 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.
Do not snap the assembly closed. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom. Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom Figure 8. Do not fully tighten the mounting screws in order to vertically adjust the transducer. Snap the pivot down into place. 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.
