Humminbird TS1-3 Fish Finder User Manual


 
A. Transom Mount - The Humminbird high speed transducer allows the transducer element to be
mounted below the bottom of the boat hull keeping the transducer out of turbulent water and
insuring good high speed operation. The transducer will absorb the blow of any obstruction by
rotating up out of the metal spring bracket without harming the transducer, or your boat. The
transducer can be re-engaged by simply rotating the transducer down and snapping it back in
place.
B. Inside Hull Mount - The high speed transducer can be mounted inside the hull (without pivot
assembly) using the proper two-part epoxy, such as Humminbird's epoxy kit. It is important to
carefully follow the mounting procedure in this manual to insure that a proper mounting location is
selected. Improper mounting will result in loss of depth sounder signal. Do not shoot through the
hull of an aluminum boat.
C. Trolling Motor Mount - This type of transducer is not supplied with your unit. It is designed to
mount on the foot of a trolling motor. You may exchange your un-used high speed transducer for
a trolling motor transducer. Call the Humminbird Customer Service Department.
D. Bronze Thru-Hull Mount - This transducer is not supplied with your unit but for an additional
cost you may exchange your un-used high speed tranducer for a bronze thru-hull. The bronze
thruhull transducer has a threaded stem which installs through a hole drilled in the boat hull,
leaving the housing exposed under the boat. This type of installation must be used for many
boats with inboard engines, because there is no suitable location on the transom away from noise
and turbulence created by the prop. A bronze thru-hull transducer should be
installed by qualified personnel only. E. Transducer Exchange - You many exchange your un-
used transducer for another type, however, some exchanges may require an additional charge.
Please call the Humminbird Customer Service Department TOLL FREE number listed in the front
of the manual. Your unit will operate well at high speeds with a properly mounted transducer.
Remember, a transducer will not work transmitting through air or air bubbles.
CAUTIONS
1. Occassionally the "eye" of your transducer may become dirty from storage or from
contact with oils present in boats or marina environments. (Oil will cause the "eye" to lose
the intimate contact with the water which is necessary for efficient operation.) The "eye"
may be cleaned with liquid detergent.
