  • Page 28: Transducer Installation Overview

    Transducer Installation Overview The 1157c Combo units and the 1197c SI Combo units use two different types of transducers. Find the installation section that describes your transducer type. 1197c SI Transducer Installation (1197c SI Combo models only) If you have a 1197c SI Combo unit, there are two different installation methods for your transducer: •...

  • Page 29: Transom Transducer Installation

    Transom Transducer Installation (1197c SI Combo models only) If you will be installing a transom mounted transducer, use the procedures in this section. There are two pieces to the transducer mount assembly: the pivot, and the bracket. Your transducer comes with a two- piece metal and plastic bracket assembly.
  • Page 30 • The best way to locate turbulence-free water is to view the transom while the boat is moving. This method is recommended if maximum high-speed operation is a high priority. If this is not possible, select a location on the transom where the hull forward of this location is smooth, flat and free of protrusions or ribs.
  • Page 31 Attaching the Bracket To attach the pivot to the transducer: 1. Attach the pivot to the transducer body, using the two 1/4"-20 x 5/8" (16 mm) machine screws, toothed washers, and square nuts. The toothed washers must fit on the inside of the transducer knuckle, between the pivot and the knuckle.
  • Page 32 NOTE: The running position of the transducer is now completely adjustable. Subsequent adjustment may be necessary to tweak the installation after high speed testing. To adjust the running position of the transducer: The transducer mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment, while the pivot bolt allows angular adjustment.
  • Page 33 VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. If the cable is too short, extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50' (15 m). For assistance, contact the Customer Resource Center at www.humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information.

  • Page 34: Test And Finish The Transducer Installation

    Test and Finish the Transducer Installation When you have installed both the control head, the transducer, and accessories and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test before locking the transducer in place. Testing should be performed with the boat in the water, although you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat out of the water.

  • Page 35: 1157C Transducer Installation (1157C Combo Models Only)

    1157c Transducer Installation (1157c Combo models only) If you have a 1157c Combo model, there are three different installation methods for your transducer: • Transom Transducer • Inside the Hull Transducer • Trolling Motor Transducer. Your 1100 Series™ uses a Two Piece Kick-up transducer mounting bracket. Find the section that describes the method of installation you will be using.
  • Page 36 1. Locating the transducer mounting location NOTE: If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or cavitation noise, and you have a single layer fiberglass hull, In-hull installation is an option. See Inside the Hull Transducer Installation for more information.
  • Page 37 NOTE: If you cannot find a transom mount location that will work for your high-speed application, find an In-Hull Transducer by contacting our Customer Resource Center at either 1-800-633-1468 or by visiting our web site at www.humminbird.com. 2. Preparing the Mounting Location In this procedure, you will determine the mounting location and drill two mounting holes, using the transducer mounting bracket as a guide.
  • Page 38 NOTE: If you have a flat-bottomed aluminum boat, some additional adjustment may be needed to accommodate the rivets on the bottom of the boat (i.e. the gap may need to be a little smaller than 1/8"). This will help you to avoid excessive turbulence at high speeds. NOTE: If your propeller moves clockwise (in forward, as you're facing the stern of the boat from behind), mount the transducer on the starboard side, and align the bottom right corner of the mounting bracket with the bottom of the boat.
  • Page 39 Measuring the Transom Angle Plumb line 12” Transom Angle in degrees (°) Measured Weight Distance (X) Transducer Knuckle Positions Ratchets Placed in Position 2 NOTE: It is important to take your measurement in the figure showing Measuring the Transom Angle, from exactly 12 inches down from the top of the transom.
  • Page 40 Inserting the Pivot Bolt 3. Put the pivot bolt through the assembly to hold it in position and loosely install the nut, but do NOT tighten the nut at this time. Insert the pivot arm assembly into the mounting bracket. Do NOT snap the assembly closed, as you will need to access the mounting bracket in the next step.
  • Page 41 Adjusting the Initial Transducer Angle 7. Adjust the transducer assembly vertically, until the seam on the leading edge of the transducer (the edge closest to the transom of the boat) is level and just slightly below the hull. Adjusting the Transducer Mounting Position Seam aligned with boat hull NOTE: The transducer has a natural downward slant of 4-5 degrees from leading edge (closest to the boat transom) to trailing edge (farthest away from the boat).
  • Page 42 VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. If the cable is too short, extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50'. For assistance, contact the Customer Resource Center at www.humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information.
  • Page 43 1. Press POWER once to turn the control head on. If the unit does not power up, make sure that the connector holder is fully seated in the receptacle and that power is available. 2. If all connections are correct and power is available, the Humminbird® control head will enter Normal operation.
  • Page 44 6. Once you have reached a consistently good sonar signal at the desired speeds, you are ready to lock down the transducer settings. Force the pivot to the Up position to gain access to the mounting screws, then re-align the mounting bracket against the transom of the boat to match the traced silhouette.
  • Page 45 Locking Down the Transducer (Optional) NOTE: You have the option to lock down the Two Piece Kick Up bracket if you do not want the transducer to kick up. Please be aware, however, that the transducer can be damaged if it is locked down and it strikes debris in the water.

  • Page 46: Inside The Hull Transducer Installation

    (1157c Combo models only) NOTE: Do NOT install the 1197c Side Imaging transducer inside the hull, as the side looking beams CANNOT penetrate the hull. Only the 1157c Dual Beam PLUS™ transducer can be mounted inside the hull. If you choose to mount your transducer inside the hull of your boat, perform the procedures in this section.
  • Page 47 Areas of Possible Turbulence Rivets Transom • As a general rule, the faster the boat can travel, the further aft and closer to the centerline of the hull the transducer has to be located in order to remain in contact with the water at high speeds. 2.
  • Page 48 4. Fill the hull with enough water to submerge the transducer body. Use a sand-filled bag or other heavy object to hold the transducer in position. The transducer cannot transmit through air, and the water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull, and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.
  • Page 49 5. Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy. 6. Press the transducer into place with a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air from underneath, keeping the end of the transducer that has the mounting knuckle pointed forward, towards the bow of the boat.

  • Page 50: Trolling Motor Transducer Installation

    There are also several transducer switches available that support the following configurations: • Two control heads with one transducer • Two transducers with one control head.

    Introduction to Navigation Use the 1100 Series™ to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a saveable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat. Waypoints, Routes and Tracks Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points.

  • Page 106: Save, Edit, Or Delete A Waypoint

    Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart.
