Switch (optional): If you do not have a main switch or fuse panel available on
your boat to connect power, you will need to purchase a battery switch. See
Install the Transducer Deployment System, Section 6. oute the Cables and
Connect Power for more information.
Lag Bolts (optional): If you are unable or choose not to drill completely through

Install the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor
Use the following instructions to install the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor (“Sensor”)
on your boat.
1. Choose the Mounting Location
It is important to consider the following information when you choose a mounting
location for the Sensor:
•Interference: Do NOT mount the Sensor close to a VH antenna or within the
active area of a radar. Do NOT install the Sensor near ferrous metals or near
anything that can create a magnetic field. Hardware and cables that handle
large currents, such as batteries and power cables, are also examples of
equipment that may cause interference.
•Reception: Mount the Sensor in an area that has full exposure to the sky. The
effective area of reception is 5˚ above the horizon.
•Surface: Whether the Sensor Cable will be routed down through the
mounting surface or to the side, or if your’re using a stem mount, the
mounting surface will influence how you install the Sensor. or details, see
Section 2: Install the Sensor.
•Extension Cables: Test run the Sensor Cable from the chosen mounting
location to the control head. 10 ft (3m) extension cables may be purchased from
Humminbird® if your planned cable route exceeds 20 ft (6 m). Maximum cable
length, including extension cables, should not exceed 50 ft (16 m).
•Y-Cable: If the COM port on the control head is already used by another
installed accessory, you will need to purchase a Humminbird® Y-Cable to add
the Sensor to the installation.

2. Install the Sensor
There are three different options to mount the sensor. Proceed to the section that
matches the type of mounting location you will be using, as follows:
Stem
Cable routed through the hole
Cable routed to the side
Stem Mount with 1” - 14 Thread
The Sensor will be mounted on a stem or
antenna pole. Proceed to Section A.
Access Under the Mounting Deck
The Sensor will be deck mounted and the
cable can be routed down through the
mounting surface. Proceed to Section B.
NO Access Under the Mounting Deck
The Sensor will be deck mounted and the
cable must routed to the side because there is
not space for a cable through or underneath
the mounting location. Proceed to Section C.
7Ins alla ion - GPS/Heading Sensor

A. Stem Mount with 1”-14 Thread
Use the following instructions to stem mount the Sensor:
1. If you have a pre-existing stem mount, skip to
step 2.
If you need to mount the antenna pole (stem),
mark the chosen mounting location and drill a
3/4” (19 mm) hole for the cable and cable
connector.
If you have purchased hardware to stem
mount your Sensor, follow the instructions
included with that hardware to attach the stem
to the boat.
2. Screw the Sensor base onto the stem first,
making sure that the stem pipe does not
protrude from the Sensor base. (This adds
protection to the cable when it is pulled through
the pipe stem.) Deburr the pipe edges to reduce
cable abrasion.
3. Use electrical tape to secure the NMEA pigtail
to the cable.
NOTE: Unless it is needed, leave the NMEA pigtail
secured to the cable. If you are connecting the pigtail to
a NMEA 0183 device, see Section 3: Connect to the
Control Head for connection information.

NOTE: It is important to review the mounting
considerations and test run the cable route as
indicated in Section 1 before proceeding with the
installation.

4. Route the Sensor cable through the stem and
through the planned cable route. To use
extension cables, see the details in Section 1:
Choose the Mounting Location.
5. Position the Sensor so the arrow on the cover
is pointed straight toward the front of the boat
in the direction of travel. The arrow should be
parallel with the keel.
NOTE: Failure to align the Sensor correctly will result in
incorrect compass readings.
6. Attach the Sensor to its base using the
included #6 -1/4” screws. and tighten only.

B. Access Under the Mounting Location
Use the following instructions to deck mount the Sensor and route the cable down
through the mounting surface:
1. Mark the mounting location and drill a 3/4”
(19 mm) hole for the cable and cable connector.
2. Secure the NMEA pigtail to the cable with
electrical tape.
NOTE: Unless it is needed, leave the NMEA pigtail
secured to the cable. If you are connecting the pigtail
to a NMEA 0183 device, see Section 3: Connect to
the Control Head for connection information.
3. Route the Sensor cable through the planned
cable route. To use extension cables, see the
details in Section 1: Choose the Mounting
Location.
4. Cover the cable hole with the Sensor.
Position the Sensor so the arrow on the cover
is pointed straight toward the front of the boat
in the direction of travel. The arrow should be
parallel with the keel.
NOTE: Failure to align the Sensor correctly will result
in incorrect compass readings.

5. Make sure the Sensor is flush against the surface, and mark the two
mounting holes with a pencil or awl.
6. Move the Sensor to the side and drill two pilot holes, using a 5/32”
(4 mm) bit.
NOTE: Apply marine-grade silicone caulk or sealant to both screw and drilled holes as
needed to protect your boat from water damage.
7. Align the Sensor’s screw holes over the pilot screw holes and attach with the
#6 - 3/4” Phillips head screws. and tighten only.
NOTE: If the mounting surface is thin or made of a light-weight material, you may
need to add reinforcing material below the mounting surface in order to support the
Sensor.

C. No Access Under the Mounting Location
Use the following instructions to deck mount the Sensor and route the cable to the
side if there is not space for a cable underneath the mounting location:
1. Secure the NMEA pigtail with electrical tape.
NOTE: Unless it is needed, leave the NMEA pigtail
secured to the cable. If you are connecting the pigtail
to a NMEA 0183 device, see Section 3: Connect to
the Control Head for connection information.
2. Route the cable from the Sensor to the Control
head.
• The Sensor has two wire routing notches.
Use the cable notch closest to the
intended cable route.
• If holes are required to route the cable,
they must be 3/4” (19 mm) to allow for the
cable connector.
• To use extension cables, see the details in
Section 1: Choose the Mounting Location.

3. Connect to the Control Head
Use the following instructions to connect the Sensor cable to the control head.
1. Insert the Sensor’s NMEA-COM connector into the control head’s COM port.
The connectors are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not
to force the connector into the port.
• If there is another accessory plugged into the COM port, install the
AS YC ("Y") cable (optional-purchase required).
• Attach the COM connector of the Y-cable directly to the control head
COM port. Connect the Sensor to the NMEA-COM connector of the
Y-cable. Reconnect your other ishfinder accessories to the ACCY-COM
connector of the Y-cable. See the illustration Optional Configuration(s)
for the Sensor Installation.
2. Optional: The control head outputs NMEA signals through the Sensor’s
pigtail cable for connection to a device such as an autopilot. Connect the
NMEA Out (White Wire) of the cable to the NMEA In of the device you are
connecting to your ishfinder. The pinouts of this cable are as follows:
• Green Wire, GPS NMEA Out
• Black Wire, Ground
• White Wire, Control Head NMEA Out
NOTE: See the illustration Optional Configuration(s) for the Sensor Installation.
WA NING! It is important to finish all installation connections before powering
on the control head.
