STAINLESS STEEL THRU-HULL TRANSDUCER Installation Guide
Read the instructions in this transducer guide completely to understand the mounting guidelines
before starting the installation.
NOTE: This transducer requires drilling a hole in the hull of the boat; therefore, installation
should be performed by a qualified marine technician
Review your boat manufacturer's owner's manual for recommended transducer installation
locations and cable routing methods. You will also need your hull's deadrise angle.
Read and understand your boat's warranty before starting this installation.
Test Route the Cable Installation: Test route the transducer cable connector to the control head
and confirm that the cable is long enough for the planned route. Your boat may have a pre-existing
wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable. See section 6: Route the
Cable for requirements. Your installation may require extension cables and hardware for routing
the cable to the control head.
Visit our Web site at humminbird.com for additional information and resources for transducer
installations. Also, visit youtube.com/humminbirdtv for informational videos.
Confirm your boat is level for the installation.
Supplies: In addition to the supplied hardware, you will need a drill, a small drill bit for the pilot
holes, a 11/32" (.8 cm) and 1 9/16" (3.9 cm) hole saw, a level, a 1/2" socket driver or wrench, and
marine-grade silicone sealant.

| Test the Transducer Prior to Installation
Prior to installation, test the transducer to make sure that no damage occurred during shipping.
1. Confirm the control head is connected to power. See your control head installation guide for
instructions.
2. Connect the transducer cable connector to the transducer (or sonar) port on the control head.
See section 7: Connect the Cable.
3. Power On: Press the POWER key to turn on the control head.
If the transducer is detected, the control head will start Normal mode.
4. Select a 2D Sonar View to display on-screen.
NOTE: See your control head operations manual for more information.
5. Lower the transducer into the water. (The transducer must be fully submerged because the
sonar signal cannot pass through air and air pinging can damage the transducer).
If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the transducer is working properly.
6. After confirming proper operation, power off the control head, and unplug the transducer cable
connector from the control head.
