Thank You!
Thank you for choosing Humminbird®, the #1 name in marine electronics.
Humminbird has built its reputation by designing and manufacturing top-quality,
thoroughly reliable marine equipment. our Humminbird accessory is designed for
trouble-free use in even the harshest marine environment. In the unlikely event
that your Humminbird does require repairs, we offer an exclusive Service Policy.
For complete details, see the separate warranty card included with your unit.
We encourage you to read this manual carefully in order to get the full benefit
from all the features and applications of your Humminbird product.
WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent
collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water
depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat
at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
WARNING! The electronic chart in your Humminbird unit is an aid to navigation
designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them.
Only official government charts and notices to mariners contain all of the current
information needed for the safety of navigation, and the captain is responsible for
their prudent use.
WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for the loss of data files (waypoints,
routes, tracks, groups, recordings, etc.) that may occur due to direct or indirect damage
to the unit’s hardware or software. It is important to back up your control head’s data
files periodically. See your control head operations manual for details.
WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be
performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or
attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals
will void the warranty.
NOTE: The illustrations in this manual may not look the same as your product, but
your unit will function in a similar way.

I stall the GPS Receiver/Headi g Se sor
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: o NOT mount the Sensor close to a VHF antenna or within the
active area of a radar. o 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 you’re using a stem mount, the mounting
surface will influence how you install the Sensor. For details, see Se tion 2:
Install the Sensor.
•Extension Cables: Test run the Sensor Cable from the chosen mounting
location to the control head. 10 ft (3 m) 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).

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. Pro eed to Se tion A.
Access Under the Mounting Deck
The Sensor will be deck mounted and the
cable can be routed down through the
mounting surface. Pro eed to Se tion B.
NO Access Under the Mounting Deck
The Sensor will be deck mounted and the
cable must be routed to the side because
there is not space for a cable through or
underneath the mounting location. Pro eed
to Se tion C.

A. Stem Mount with 1"-14 Thread
Use the following instructions to stem mount the Sensor.
WARNING! o NOT mount the Sensor to a stem
mount or antenna pole that contains ferrous metals.
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.
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.) eburr the pipe edges to reduce
cable abrasion.
3. Use electrical tape to secure the NMEA pigtail
to the cable.
Unless it is needed, leave the NMEA pigtail
secured to the cable. If you are connecting the
pigtail to a NMEA 0183 device, see Se tion 3:
Conne t to the Control Head for connection
information.

The pinouts are as follows:
Black Wire (Ground)
White Wire (Control Head NMEA Out): outputs the navigation calculations
and commands from the control head as IN (Integrated Navigation) NMEA
sentences. Connect the white wire to the device’s NMEA In wire.
OR
Green Wire (GPS NMEA Out): outputs GP (Global Positioning) NMEA
sentences directly from the Sensor. Connect the green wire to the device’s
NMEA In wire if it can only read GP NMEA sentences.
See your device installation guide to identify the NMEA In wire. The device
will connect to the white wire or green wire, depending on its NMEA
communication requirements (IN or GP).
See Se tion 6: Turn on NMEA Output and Confirm the Baud Rate for more

I stall the Trolli g Motor Bracket
Use the following instructions to install the Trolling Motor 360 Imaging. It is important
to read the instructions completely and understand the mounting guidelines before
you start the installation.
1 |Prepare for Installation
1. isconnect the motor from all sources of electrical power.
2. Test run the Ethernet cable from the chosen mounting location on the trolling
motor to the control head (or optional Ethernet Switch). Test run the power
cable from the chosen mounting location on the trolling motor to the main
switch or fuse panel.
It is important to consider the following:
• The 360 Imaging transducer pod is powered separately from the control
head. It must be connected to a switch where it can be powered on
when the boat is underway and powered off when it is docked.
• The cables should be routed through an established routing system on
the boat, in an area with minimal interference, without sharp edges,
obstacles, or obstructions that may damage the cables.
• The cables will move with the trolling motor when it is deployed and
retracted, so it is important to allow enough length for movement.
3. With the trolling motor deployed, the transducer pod has the following
installation requirements:
• The transducer pod should not have anything obstructing the ‘view’ of
the rotating beams (besides the trolling motor and shaft). If possible,
move anything to the sides and below the pod that might obstruct the
sight line of the rotating beams.
• The pod must be mounted at least 1" (25.4 mm) off the tip of the
propeller.
•AS TM 360 Ultrex: The pod should be submerged 6" (152.4 mm) below
the waterline. The height may be adjusted, however, the pod must be
mounted 1" (25.4 mm) off the tip of the propeller.

2 |Install the Trolling Motor Bracket
Proceed to the installation section of the type of trolling motor bracket you purchased:
A. Ultrex Trolling Motor Mount (AS 360 TM Ultrex)
OR
B. Fortrex/Maxxum Trolling Motor Mount (AS 360 TM)
A. Ultrex Trolling Motor Mount (AS 360 TM Ultrex)
WARNING! isconnect the motor from all sources of electrical power before you
start installation.
WARNING! Confirm that the trolling motor is properly secured to the boat and will
not shift during the installation.
Assemble the Bracket
1. The trolling motor should be in the fully retracted (flat) position on the boat
deck for this installation.
2. isconnect the motor from all sources of electrical power.
3. In addition to the requirements listed in the Prepare for Installation section,
determine if the bracket will be installed on the left or right side of the
trolling motor, so the transducer pod is mounted outboard of the trolling
motor and on the centerline of the boat. etermine the mount position from
the bow, facing the (forward) direction of travel.
If the trolling motor deploys starboard side (right) on the bow, you will
mount the bracket on the left side of the trolling motor. Position the bracket
so the straight edge faces to the left as shown in the illustration.
