Main enance
If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other
marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically
clean the face of the transducer with a mild, marine-safe and plastic-safe
soap or solution.
If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take
some time to wet the transducer after it is returned to the water. Small air
bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper
operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may wipe the face of
the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.

Humminbird Service Policy

service policy, it's good to know that we back our products this confidently.
We do it because you deserve the best. We will make every effort to repair

Overview
Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions carefully in order to get the full benefit from
your Humminbird® accessory.
Supplies: In addition to the hardware supplied with your transducer, you will need a drill, a small drill bit for a pilot
hole, a 1 1/8" hole saw, a level, marine-grade silicone sealant, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and dielectric grease.
Customer Service: To purchase additional equipment, or if you find that any items are missing from your installation
kit, visit our Web site at hummin ird.com or call us at 1-800-633-1468.
Ins alla ion
Perform the procedures in the following sections to install the transducer on your boat.
1. Testing the Transducer Prior to Installation
Prior to installation, test the transducer to make sure that no damage occurred during shipping.
1. Connect the transducer cable connector to the control head port or black box sonar, depending on your system
configuration.
2. Power on the control head. Select a sonar view to display on-screen.
3. Hold the transducer in the water over the side of the boat to confirm proper operation. If the transducer is working
properly, you should be able to see the bottom on the control head display. The bottom image should be relatively
strong and there should be detailed structure on the display.
4. After confirming proper operation, power off the control head, and unplug the transducer cable connector from
the control head or black box sonar.
2. Locating the Transducer Mounting Position
Outside the oat, the best location for the transducer will be aft midship, as close to the centerline of the boat as
possible. The transducer should be mounted forward of the propellers on inboard boats, and separated adequately
from other transducers, strakes, rivet lines, or other protrusions. Make sure that there is nothing in front, behind, or to
the side of the transducer that is closer than 12".
WARNING! Do NOT inst ll the tr nsducer in line with the engine int ke.
Inside the oat, there must be room to access the mounting location for installation and cable routing.
Deadrise: Another consideration is the angle of deadrise. The transducer, when mounted, should point straight down.
If the selected mounting location has a hull deadrise of 8 degrees or more, the included leveling block should be used
to level the transducer housing and direct the sonar signal straight down. If you need to use the leveling block, make
sure that the inside surface of the hull is smooth enough to seat the leveling block securely.
NOTE: If you c nnot find loc tion th t will work for your pplic tion, find different tr nsducer by visiting the FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) section of our Web site t humm nb rd.com or by c lling Humminbird Customer Service
t 1-800-633-1468.
NOTE: This type of tr nsducer inst ll tion is not recommended for tr iler ble bo ts.
NOTE: This tr nsducer requires drilling hole in the hull of the bo t; therefore, inst ll tion should be performed by
qu lified m rine technici n.
