Page 33: Overview Side Imaging® Transducer, Xhs 9 Hdsi 180T (1198C Si Only)
Overview Side Imaging® Transducer, XHS 9 HDSI 180T (1198c SI 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 34 1. Locating the Transducer Mounting Location NOTE: If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or cavitation noise, trolling motor installation may be an option. See Trolling Motor Transducer Installation for more information. 1. First, determine the best location on the transom to install the transducer. Consider the following to find the best location: •...
Page 35 2. Mounting the Transducer Bracket to the Boat 1. Remove the transducer mounting template from this manual. See Appendix A for the Transducer Mounting Template. Level 15” (380 mm) from prop(s) 2. Hold the template on the transom of the boat in the location where the transducer will be installed.
Page 36 3. Attaching 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. The square nuts will be prevented from rotating by the pocket in the back of the pivot.
Page 37 5. Adjusting the Running Position of the Transducer The transducer mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment, while the pivot bolt allows angular adjustment. These adjustments will help reduce cavitation. Initially, adjust the transducer as described in the following paragraphs. Further adjustment may be necessary to refine the installation after high-speed testing.
Page 38 50' (15 m). For assistance, contact the Customer Resource Center at humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information. NOTE: Since the transducer may need to pivot up to 90° in the bracket if it strikes an object, make sure there is sufficient cable slack to accommodate this motion.
Page 39 7. 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 40: 1158C Transom Mount Transducer Installation
1158c Transom Mount Transducer Installation DualBeam PLUS™ Transducer, XNT 9 20 T (1158c only) The DualBeam PLUS™ transducer uses a Two Piece Kick-up transducer mounting bracket. NOTE: Due to the wide variety of hulls, only general instructions are presented in this installation guide.
Page 41 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. Turbulence: You must first determine the best location on the transom to install the transducer.
Page 42 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 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 43 Positioning the Boat Hull Types Require Mounting Bracket Different Mounting Positions Level 1/4” for fiberglass 1/8” for aluminum 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").
Page 44 3. Assembling the Transducer and Initial Mounting In this procedure, you will assemble the transducer using the hardware provided, then mount it and make adjustments to its position without locking it in place. NOTE: You will initially assemble the transducer and the pivot arm by matching the two ratchets to a numbered position on the transducer knuckle.
Page 45 Hold the ratchets on the transducer knuckle with one hand and fit the pivot arm over them until it snaps into place with the other hand. Refer to the illustration. Transducer Knuckle Positions Ratchets Placed in Position 1 Beads Knuckle Ratchet Rib at position 1...
Page 46 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 47 6. Adjust the initial angle of the transducer from back to front by rotating the transducer until the side seam on the transducer is almost parallel with the bottom of the boat, one click at a time in either direction. Adjusting the Initial Transducer Angle One click too high Correctly aligned...
Page 48 50'. For assistance, contact the Customer Resource Center at humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more information. NOTE: The transducer can pivot up to 90 degrees in the bracket. Allow enough slack in the cable for this movement.
Page 49 2. If all connections are correct and power is available, the Humminbird® control head will enter Normal operation. 3. If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the unit is working properly.
Page 50 5. If you have the correct angle set on the transducer, yet lose a bottom reading at high speed, adjust the height and the running angle in small increments to give you the ideal transducer position for your boat. First, adjust the height in small increments. NOTE: The deeper the transducer is in the water, the more likely that a rooster tail of spray will be generated at high speeds, so make sure that the transducer is as high as it can be and still be submerged in the water.
Page 51: Locking Down The Transducer (Optional)
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 52: 1158C Inside The Hull Transducer Installation Dualbeam Plus™ Transducer, Xnt 9 20 T (1158C Only)
Humminbird® offers a transducer exchange program to swap the NEW and UNASSEMBLED transducer, accompanied by mounting hardware, for one without an integral temperature probe. Call the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468 for details, or visit humminbird.com for more information.
Page 53 1. Locating the Transducer Mounting Location Decide where to install the transducer on the inside of the hull. Consider the following to find the best location: • Observe the outside of the boat hull to find the areas that are mostly free from turbulent water.
Page 54 Preferred Mounting Area 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 55 4. Permanently Mounting the Transducer 1. Make sure the position of the transducer is marked. 2. You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this procedure. 3. Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to create a smooth mounting surface.

Page 74: Understanding The Sonar Display
Understanding the Sonar Display It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time.
Page 75: Switchfire
SwitchFire™ SwitchFire™ controls how the sonar returns are displayed in the Sonar Views. SwitchFire™ settings are available in the Sonar Menu Tab. To see the maximum sonar information available within the transducer beam so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown, choose Max Mode. To see less clutter and more fish size accuracy interpreted from the transducer beam, choose Clear Mode.
Page 76: Sonar Bottom Presentation
Sonar Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display.

Page 78: What's On The Side Imaging® Display (1198C Si Combo Models Only)
What’s on the Side Imaging® Display (1198c SI Combo models only) Side Imaging® displays a number of easily recognizable features that allow for accurate interpretation intensity of the sonar return. For example, rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud better than downward slopes that face away from the transducer.
Page 79 of bottom contour and structure. For Side Imaging®, the bottom composition determines the and sand because of their relative density. Upward slopes that face the transducer reflect sonar recognizable features on the Side Imaging® display that allow for accurate interpretation of bottom Clouded Area - May indicate a bait ball and White Streaks may indicate fish.
Page 80: Understanding The Side Imaging® Display
Understanding the Side Imaging® Display It is important to understand how Side Imaging® technology produces the display. The images you see on the display are produced using sonar technology. The special transducer projects three distinct beams – one beam facing down and two beams pointing out to the side. Down Beam is aimed directly below the boat and provides conical coverage.
Page 81: Side Imaging® Frequencies And Coverage
The main benefit of Side Imaging® sonar to anglers is that it provides an overall survey of a large area of water. This gives you a better understanding of the bottom topography and how structure is oriented for more efficient fishing. Saltwater anglers pick up precise details of popular fishing structure like wrecks, reefs, humps and drop-offs, as well as being able to spot bait balls in open water.

Page 225: Glossary
The unintentional, external sound waves that interfere with the optimal operation of sonar. Noise appears as random “dots“ on the display and is caused by a variety of sources. Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate (also, see Troubleshooting).
Page 226 A very fast sonar update rate collects more information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom, fish, and structure. Many Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency operation. Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in water, the update rate begins to slow as depth increases to deeper than 50 feet.
Page 227 (i.e. two fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure). Humminbird® fishfinders provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in shallower than 100 feet of depth. Target separation decreases as depth increases due to the need for longer Pulse Pulse Width Width to achieve greater depth.
Page 228 Acquisition Time The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster.
Page 229 Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.
Page 230 This can include a marker buoy, dock, fishing hole, or anywhere else the user may want to return to. Humminbird® products offer the ability to name and assign a symbol to the saved location. Depth, Date, and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is also saved.
