Installation Overview
Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions
carefully in order to get the full benefit from your PiranhaMAX.
There are three basic installation tasks that you must perform for the
PiranhaMAX:
• install the control head
• install the transducer
• test the complete installation and lock the transducer position.
If you purchased a PiranhaMAX Portable unit, proceed to PiranhaMA
Portable Case Assembly for installation instructions. If you are planning a
fixed installation, proceed to Fixed Control Head Installation.
Supplies: 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 level, a 12" plumb line (weighted string or
monofilament line), marker or pencil, safety glasses and dust mask, and
marine-grade silicone sealant.

Fi ed Control Head Installation
Determine Where to Mount
Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head.
Consider the following to determine the best location:
• To check the location planned for the control
head, test run the cables for the power and
transducer. See the installation section for
your transducer type in order to plan the
location of the transducer.
• The mounting surface should be stable
enough to protect the control head from
excessive wave shock and vibration, and
should provide visibility while in operation.
• Your PiranhaMAX uses a tilt mounting base.
The mounting area should allow sufficient
room for the unit to pivot freely, and for easy
removal and installation ( igures 1 and 2).
Conne t the Power Cable to the Boat
A 6' long power cable is included to supply power to the control head. You
may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge multi-stranded copper wire.
CAUTION! Some boats have 24 or 36 Volt electric systems, but the control head
UST be connected to a 12 VDC power supply.
The control head power cable can be connected to the electrical system of the
boat at two places: a fuse panel usually located near the console, or directly
to the battery.
NOTE: ake sure that the power cable is not connected to the control head at
the beginning of this procedure.

NOTE: Humminbird is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures. The
control head must have adequate protection through the proper selection and
installation of a 1 amp fuse.
1a. If a fuse terminal is available, use
crimp-on type electrical connectors
(not included) that match the
terminal on the fuse panel. Attach the
black wire to ground (-), and the red
wire to positive (+) 12 VDC power
( igure 3). Install a 1 amp fuse (not
included) for protection of the unit.
Humminbird is not responsible for
over-voltage or over-current failures.
or...
1b. If you need to wire the control head
directly to a battery, obtain and install
an inline fuse holder and a 1 amp
fuse (not included) for the protection
of the unit ( igure 4). Humminbird is
not responsible for over-voltage or
over-current failures.
NOTE: In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine
electronics, a separate power source (such as a second battery) may be necessary.

Assemble the Control Head Base
Your control head base will have a tilt mount. See the instructions below to
assemble and mount the control head base.
1. Set the tilt mount control head base in
place on the mounting surface.
2. Mark the four mounting screw
locations with a pencil or punch.
3. Set the base aside, and drill the four
mounting screw holes using a 9/64"
bit.
4. Proceed to Route the Control Head
Cables Under the Deck.
Route the Control Head Cables Under the De k
Use the following steps to route the control head cables under the deck.
NOTE: Under the deck cable routing is not always possible. If this is not an option,
the cables should be routed and secured above deck.
1a. Mark and drill a 3/4" hole as shown in igure 5. Route the cables
through the hole. The cables will exit through the center hole on the
control head base.
1b. If the cables cannot be routed directly beneath the control head base,
mark and drill a 3/4" hole that will allow you to run the cables close to
the control head base.
NOTE: See the installation section for your transducer type in order to plan the
location of the transducer and cable route.

Atta h the Cables to the Control Head
ollow these steps to attach the power and transducer cables to the control head:
1. Matching the cable plugs to the shape
and orientation of the sockets, insert
the transducer and power cables into
the correct sockets on the control
head.
NOTE: The serial port is for authorized service
personnel use only. Do not connect a cable to
this port. The serial port does not require a
port cover.
2. With the control head in place, tilt the unit through its full range to
make sure there is enough cable slack for the unit to move freely. Hand
tighten the thumbknob bolt when you achieve the desired position for
the control head.
You are now ready to install the transducer. Proceed to Transducer Installation
Overview.
Transducer Installation Overview
The transducer can be installed on the transom of the boat, inside the hull, or
onto a trolling motor, depending on your transducer type. The type of
transducer you have will also determine how the cable will be routed. Go to
the section that describes your transducer, and follow the steps to position
and mount the transducer on your boat.
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.

Transom Transducer Installation
ollowing are instructions for transom mount installation. The transom mount
installation provides the least loss of signal since the transducer is mounted
outside the hull. This installation also allows adjustment of both running angle
and depth after the transducer is mounted, which enables you to tune the
installation for best results.
NOTE: If you cannot find a transom mount location that will work for your boat hull,
a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. See the
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section of our Web site at humminbird.com or
call Customer Service at 1-800-633-1468.
Determine the Transdu er Mounting Position
Turbulence: You must first determine the best location on the transom to install
the transducer. It is very important to locate the transducer in an area that is
relatively free of turbulent water. Consider the following to find the best
location with the least amount of turbulence:
• As the boat moves through the water, turbulence
is generated by the weight of the boat and the
thrust of the propeller(s) - either clockwise or
counter-clockwise. 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). Clockwise propellers create more
turbulence on the port side. On outboard or
inboard/outboard boats, it is best to locate the
transducer at least 15" to the side of the
propeller(s) ( igure 10).
•
The best way to locate turbulence-free water is
to view the transom while the boat is moving. This
method is recommended if maximum high-speed
operation is a high priority. 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 ( igure 8).

• On boats with stepped hulls, it may be possible to mount the transducer
on the step. Do not mount the transducer on the transom behind a step to
avoid popping the transducer out of the water at higher speeds. The trans-
ducer must remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar
signal ( igure 9).
• If the transom is behind the propeller(s), it may be impossible to find an
area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or
transducer type should be considered, such as an Inside the Hull
Transducer.
• If you plan to trailer your boat, do not mount the transducer too close to
trailer bunks or rollers to avoid moving or damaging the transducer during
loading and unloading of the boat.
• If high-speed operation is critical, you may want to consider using an
In-Hull Transducer instead of this Transom Mount Transducer.
NOTE: The hydrodynamic shape of your transducer allows it to point straight down
without deadrise adjustment (Figure 11).
NOTE: If you cannot find a transom mount location that will work for your
high-speed application, visit the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section of our
Web site at humminbird.com or call Customer Service at 1-800-633-1468.

Transom Transducer Installation
Prepare the Mounting Lo ation
After determining the mounting location for the transducer, follow the steps
below to position and mount the transducer bracket.
1. Make sure that the boat is level on the trailer,
both from port to starboard and from bow to
stern, by placing your level on the deck of the
boat, first in one direction, then in the other.
2. Hold the mounting bracket against the transom
of the boat in the location you have selected
( igure 12). Align the bracket horizontally, using
the level. Make sure that the lower screw hole
protrusion does not protrude past the bottom of
the hull, and there is at least 1/4" clearance
between the bottom of the bracket and the
bottom of the transom for fiberglass boats, and
1/8" clearance for aluminum boats ( igure 13).
NOTE: If you have a flat-bottomed aluminum boat,
some additional adjustment may be needed to
accommodate the rivets on the bottom of the boat
(i.e. the gap may need to be a little smaller than
1/8"). This will help you to avoid excessive
turbulence at high speeds.
NOTE: If your propeller moves clockwise as the
boat moves forward (as you're facing the stern of
the boat from behind), mount the transducer
on the starboard side, and align the bottom
right corner of the mounting bracket with the
bottom of the boat. If your propeller moves
counterclockwise as the boat moves forward (as
you're facing the stern of the boat from behind),
mount the transducer on the port side, and align
the bottom left corner of the mounting bracket with
the bottom of the boat.
3. Continue to hold the bracket on the transom of
the boat, and use a pencil or marker to mark
where to drill the two mounting holes. Mark
the drill holes near the top of each slot, making
sure that your mark is centered in the slot
( igure 14).

4. Make sure that the drill bit is perpendicular to the actual surface of the
transom, NOT parallel to the ground, before you drill. Using a 5/32” bit, drill
the two holes only to a depth of approximately 1”.
NOTE: On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce
the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.
Assemble the Transdu er and Initial Mounting
In this procedure, you will assemble the transducer using the hardware provided,
then mount it and make adjustments to its position without locking it in place.
NOTE: You will initially assemble the transducer and the mounting bracket by matching
the two ratchets to a numbered position on the transducer knuckle. Further adjustments
may be necessary.
1a. If you already know your transom angle, refer to the chart below for the
initial position to use to set the ratchets ( igure 15). If your transom is
angled at 14 degrees (a common transom angle for many boats) use
position 1 for the ratchets. In either case, go to step 2.
or...
1b. If you do not know your transom angle,
measure it using a plumb line (weighted
nylon string or monofilament line)
exactly 12 inches long. Hold the top of
the plumb line against the top of the
transom with your finger, and wait until
the line hangs straight down ( igure
16). Using a ruler, measure the distance
from the bottom of the plumb line to
the back of the transom, then use the
chart ( igure 15).

NOTE: The third hole should not be drilled until the angle and height of the
transducer is finalized, which you will not do until a later procedure.

NOTE: It is important to take your measurement in the location shown in
Figure 16, from exactly 12 inches down from the top of the transom.
2. Place the two ratchets, one on either side of the transducer knuckle, so
that the beads on each ratchet line up with the desired position number
on the knuckle ( igure 17a). If you are setting the ratchets at position 1,
the beads on each ratchet will line up with the rib on the transducer
knuckle to form one continuous line on the assembly ( igure 17b).
NOTE: The ratchets are keyed. ake sure that the square teeth on each
ratchet face the square teeth on the transducer knuckle, and the triangular
teeth face outward.
Hold the ratchets on the transducer knuckle with one hand and fit the
mounting bracket over them until it snaps into place with the other hand. Refer
to the illustration ( igure 17d).

3. Put the pivot bolt through the assembly to
hold it in position and loosely install the nut,
but do NOT tighten the nut at this time
( igure 18).
CAUTION! Do not use a high speed driver on this
combination of fasteners. Hand tighten only.
4. Align the mounting bracket transducer
assembly with the drilled holes in the
