INSTALLATION PREPARATION PARTS SUPPLIED PARTS SUPPLIED Before installing your new Humminbird fishfinder, please ensure the following parts are included in the box: • Fishfinder • Transducer with 2.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Determining How to Mount the Transducer Your Humminb ird fishfinder includes a standard transducer. This transducer can be mounted on the transom of the boat or bonded to the inside of a fiberglass hull boat.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION ALTERNATE M OUNTING METHODS ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS Your Humminbird fishfinder comes with everything necessary for installation and operation on most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a different type of transducer.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard transducer. You may exchange your new and unassembled transducer for another type by returning i t to the address listed in Customer Support.
INSTALLAT ION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Do not begin this transducer installation until you read the Installation Preparation in the Operation Guide. This chapter contains information critical to the correct installation of your transducer. Due to the wide variety of b oat hulls, only general instructions are presented in the installation guide.
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION • If the propeller(s) is (are) forward of the transom, it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. Step Two - Drill the Mounting Holes 1.

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Four - Mount the Transducer to the Transom 1. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom.
mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and adjustments have been completed..
INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable There are several ways to route the transducer c able to the to the area where the control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat.
INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION Inside the hull installation requires the mount system and control head be installed and operational. See Installing the Control Head for instruction on installing the unit. Inside the hull mountin g generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats.
The transducer cannot transmit through air. The water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.
INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION 3. Power up the Control Head. 4. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the Control Head. If the unit functions well at low speeds but b egins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer needs to be moved.
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step One - Determine Where to Mount Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head.
fuse in the connection. If you must wire the control head directly to a battery, be sure to install an inline fuse holder.
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION and one amp fuse (not inc luded) for the protection of the unit (Figure 21). Humminbird is not responsible for over voltage or over current failures. In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine electronics a separate power source (such as a second batter y) may be necessary.
Optional: If the ca bles pass outside the mounting bracket, install the hole cover over the hole and fasten in place using the two #8 x 7/8” (22mm) wood screws (Figure 24).
INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step Five - Assembling the Connector Holder 1. Insert the cabl e connectors into the connector holder. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the connector holder (Figure 26).
INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION Testing should be performed with the boat in the water, however you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat trailered. Press POWER once to turn the unit on. There will be an audible chirp when any button is pressed to confirm the button press.
TESTING THE INSTALLATION After installing your Pro Flasher and transducer, you are ready to test the installation. Testing should be performed on the water, since that is the best way to confirm your transducer's performance. With your boat in the water, turn the Sensitivity / OnOff control clockwise.
USING THE PRO FLASHER The Pro Flasher differs from LCD depthsounders in two important ways: Operation of the unit is completely manual. Adjustment of the sensitivity and noise rejec t controls, and interpretation of the information displayed is entirely up to the user.
Reject control slowly clockwise until it is filtered out. If no noise is detected, the control should be left in the "MIN" position. WHAT YOU SEE ON THE DISPLAY A "Zero" line is always present on the dial. This indicates that the unit is transmitting a signal.
Broken but continuously displayed signals near the bottom return indicate vegetation or ground cover. It is often possible to see a "second return" from the bottom. This is usually seen in shallower water when the sensitivity is adjusted higher than normal.
A thermo cline is the horizontal boundary where significant water temperature differences exist. When a thermocline exists, it will often tend to reflect sonar signals and is therefore visible on the display.
When operating the Pro Flasher in depths over 60', the bottom return will continue to rotate beyond the "zero" line on the dial. When the depth is over 60', the retur ned signal will relate to the numbers printed on the inside of the dial.
Do not attempt to repair the Pro Flasher yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside, and special tools and techniques are required for reassembly to ensure the waterproof integrity of the housing. Repairs should be performed only by authorized Humminbird technicians.
and can produce electrical output in excess of 17 volts at higher engine speeds. Installation of an external voltage limiting device will prevent this from occurring.
