Installation There are a number of ways to install a transducer on your boat. Inside the hull mounting of the transducer generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass hulled boats. Humminbird® cannot guarantee depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the hull of the boat, since some signal loss will occur. The amount of loss depends on hull construction and thickness, and the installation. NOTE: This type of installation requires the use of a slow-cure two-part epoxy. Do not use silicone or any other soft adhesive material to install the transducer, as this material will reduce the sensitivity of the unit. Do not use five-minute epoxy, as it has a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged, thus reducing signal strength. For OUT-OF-WARRANTY service, complete the following steps: · Obtain a Repair Authorization Number from the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center. · Include payment in the form of credit card number and expiration date, money order or personal check. · Tag product with your name, street address, phone number and your assigned Repair Authorization Number. · Return product freight prepaid to Humminbird®, using an insured carrier with delivery confirmation. 1. Locating the Transducer Mounting Position Decide where to install the transducer on the inside of the hull, using the following procedure to find the best location: 1. Observe the outside of the boat hull to find the areas that are mostly free from turbulent water. Avoid ribs, strakes and other protrusions, as these create turbulence. Make sure that the transducer is located as close to the centerline of the hull and as far aft as possible, so that it will remain in contact with the water even at high speeds.

When the epoxy has cured, no water will be necessary inside the hull, and water or spilled gasoline or oil will not affect the performance of the transducer. 530509-4_C 4 Inside the Hull Mounted Transducer 1. Either route the cable from the in-hull mounted transducer over the top of the transom, or drill a 5/8" hole in the transom directly above the sensor, above the waterline. CAUTION!The temperature probe incorporates a temperature-sensitive probe in a high-impact plastic housing with 10 feet of cable. Do not cut or shorten the temperature probe cable, and try not to damage the cable insulation. The probe is intended for installation on the transom and will work well on almost any boat. 530509-4_C 2. Trial Installation: You will not be able to adjust the mounting position after you install this Inside the Hull transducer. [. . . ] If you are using a transom-style transducer, make sure that the pointed end of the transducer points forward to the bow of the boat. Position angled-style transducers to transmit straight down and remain in parallel alignment with the keel. NOTE: Puck or round, circular-bottomed transducers have no directional bias, and therefore orientation of these types of transducers is not as important. Refer to the part of the illustration that shows orientation for transducers with directional bias. Your control head is now ready for operation. Apply the Epoxy 6.
