INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Your Humminbird fishfinder consists of two primary components to install: the control
head and the transducer.
The control head contains the sonar transmit and receive circuitry, as well as the user
controls and display. It should be installed in a location that provides access to the
controls and visibility while in use. The control head mounts on a quick disconnect
mounting system that swivels and tilts providing flexibility for viewing from almost
anywhere on the boat.
The transducer converts electrical energy from the transmitter into mechanical pulses or
sound waves. The transducer also receives the reflected sound waves and converts
them back into electrical signals for display on the control head. It should be installed in
contact with the surface of the water in an area that has smooth waterflow- usually on
the transom of the boat. There are several mounting options for the transducer. Review
the following section to determine the method that works for you and your boat.
