  • Page 3 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. Even though there is some loss of signal in shooting through the hull, your LCR will perform well with this type of installation.
  • Page 4 Once the location is determined mark and drill three 7/64” dia.. holes noted on the template. Attach the metal bracket using three #10 self threading screws supplied. Be sure to align holes in the center of the Bracket slots. On some aluminum boats it may be necessary to use a wood back-up plate. It is important to use a silicone sealant between the screwhead and bracket in order to prevent leaking.

    It is suggested you keep the face of the transducer clean. This can be done with soap and water. NOTE: In order for your Humminbird to perform at Its maximum potential, care should be taken to Install the transducer properly. This Is the most critical part of the Humminbird Installation. Please read the following sections thoroughly and follow the installation instructions carefully.
  • Page 15 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.
  • Page 16 Improper installation of the transducer can alter the efficiency and accuracy of the entire system. 3. If your boat or transducer is out of the water for a period of time, it may take a short period of time for the transducer to become thoroughly "wetted" when returned to the water.
  • Page 17 Step 2 (Fiberglass Boats) BRACKET INSTALLATION - If your boat has a stepped transom located below and under the main transom, the compact transducer design allows mounting in this area. This mounting location is recommended for good reading at very high speeds. (See Figure 5).
  • Page 18 TRANSDUCER PIVOT ASSEMBLY Assemble the pivot to the transducer main body using the two 1/4x%" alien head screws, two %," tooth washers and two'/," square nuts. Make sure the tooth washers are sandwiched between the transducer main body and the pivot. (See Figure 7). The square nuts are trapped inside the pivot and will not rotate as the alien head screws an;...
  • Page 19 NOTE: It may be necessary to make several high speed runs to adjust transducer either UP/DOWN or to readjust the angle to achieve optimum results. Step 7 CABLE CLAMPS - Install cable clamps as necessary by drilling a %' dia. hole for the #8 screw supplied.
  • Page 20 7. Remove the water and transducer and clean the marked area and the bottom of the transducer thoroughly. 8. Using the Humminbird Epoxy Kit mix an ample amount of epoxy without causing it to bubble and pour it in the area the transducer is to be mounted. The puddle should be larger than the bottom of the transducer.
  • Page 21 The Transducer Switch Model TS1-3 comes complete with one switch and one extension cable. This switch allows you to use one Humminbird depth sounder with two transducers and is ideal when using one transducer mounted on the transom and the other transducer mounted on your trolling motor.
  • Page 22 NOTE: With switch in this position depth sounder #2 operates from the transducer. INSTALLING THE CABLES Your unit comes equipped with Humminbird's AngleLockT'" power and transducer connectors. The power connector is identified with the letter P on the back of the plug. It plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked "Power."...

  • Page 30 BIRDTRAP The Birdtrap allows you to make a portable unit of any permanent mount Humminbird Depth Sounder except the In-Dash. Follow the installation instructions received with your portable Birdtrap, then refer to the operational section of this manual for proper use.
  • Page 31 The Birdtrap is used in the same manner as a permanent mount unit. The transducer may be mounted using the suction cup as shown in Figure 12 or, if you have a fiberglass boat with a single hull, the transducer may be paced in a small amount of water in the hull of the boat. NOTE: The water must be in direct contact with the hull of the boat.

  • Page 32: Portable Transducer Assembly

    CAUTION: You should tie down the transducer cable, so that if the suction cup comes loose it will not allow the transducer to be damaged by the propeller or possibly pull the unit out of the boat. Humminbird will not be responsible for any damage due to the suction cup becoming loose.
