Transducer Installation Overview
The transducer can be installed on the transom of the boat, inside the hull, or
onto a trolling motor, depending on your transducer type. The type of
transducer you have will also determine how the cable will be routed. Go to
the section that describes your transducer, and follow the steps to position
and mount the transducer on your boat.
NOTE: If the included transducer will not work for your application, you may
exchange it, NEW and UNASSEMBLED, with mounting hardware included, for a
transducer appropriate for your application - often at very little or no charge
depending on the transducer. Call the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center at
1-800-633-1468 for details and pricing,or visit www.humminbird.com.

powered hand drill and various drill bits, various hand tools, including a ruler or
straightedge,alevel,a12" plumbline(weightedstringor monofilamentline),marker
or pencil, safety glassesand dust mask, and marine-grade silicone sealant.
