User manual HUMMINBIRD PIRANHA 5 INSTALLATION

[. . . ] Choose a location on the transom where the hull forward of this location is smooth, flat and free of protrusions or ribs. · Turbulence is also created by the prop - try to keep at least 15" (380mm) from the prop(s). · The best method to locate areas free of turbulence is to watch the transom while the boat is moving. · Stepped hulls require the transducer be mounted on the step if possible. [. . . ] (Figure 6). Figure 6 INSTALLING THE CONTROL HEAD STEP 1: ASSEMBLE THE BASE 1. Secure the Mount Arms with the 4 screws provided. Arm Screws, 4 #6 x /" Hull ue de fibre de verre Couper ici pour une coq m r une coque d'aluminiu Couper ici pou ur bas du transducte Placer au bas de la coque Aligner avec l'arcasse.

Thread the Gimbal Knob onto the Pivot Bolt using only 2-3 turns. Using Allen wrenches to set running angle 3. Align the Pivot Knuckle with the Mount Base Arms and slide into place until it seats firmly. Rotate the Control Head to the desired angle and hand tighten the Gimbal Knob. Now you can use the assembled Piranha to identify the best mounting location. Drill the hole for and hand tighten the third mounting screw only after highspeed testing.

Cabling can be routed through a /" hole centered between the two rear mounting holes of the base. STEP 5: INSTALL THE BASE 1. Remove the control head from the mount base by loosening the gimbal knob and pulling the unit from the base - a slight twisting motion will help to release it. Using the mount base as a template, mark the location for the mounting holes. Drill a /" hole at the location where the cables pass through the mounting surface. If access is possible underneath mounting surface, drill the hole so the mount base forms a hole cover. Pass the transducer and power cables through the /" inch hole, leaving about 6" length above the surface. Align the mount base with the holes and attach with the Phillips screws provided. STEP 6: ATTACH THE CONTROL HEAD AND PLUG IN CONNECTORS 1. With attention to shape and orientation of the plugs, insert the transducer and power cable into the correct socket according to the figure at right. Figure 9 /" 3. With the control head in place, tilt the unit through its full range to ensure enough cable slack is left for movement. Hand tighten the gimbal knob when at its desired position. STEP 4: ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS A 6' (2m) long power cable is included to supply power to the fishfinder. You may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge multi-stranded copper wire. Humminbird is not responsible for over current or over voltage failures. The power cable can be connected to the boat's electrical system at two places: a fuse panel, usually located near the console, or directly to the battery. [. . . ] · As a general rule, the faster the boat can travel, the further aft and closer to the centerline of the hull the transducer has to be located to remain in contact with the water at high speeds (Figure 13).
