4b. If you are using the Single Piece mounting bracket, make sure that the transducer location has not
changed, then hand tighten the two mounting screws (Figure 21).
5. Confirm that the pivot angle has not changed.
Route the Transducer Cable
There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head will be installed.
The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat.
NOTE: Your boat may have a pre-existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer
cable.
1. Unplug the other end of the transducer cable from the control head. Make sure that the cable is
long enough to accommodate the planned route by running the cable over the transom.
CAUTION! Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable, and try not to damage the cable insulation. Route
the cable as far as possible from any 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 334-687-0503 for more information.
NOTE: The Two Piece Kick-up transducers can pivot up to 90 degrees in the bracket. Allow enough slack
in the cable for this movement. It is best to route the cable to the side of the transducer so the cable will
not be damaged by the transducer during movement.
2a. If you are routing the cable over the transom of the boat, secure the cable by attaching the cable
clamp to the transom, drilling
⁹⁄₆₄ "dia. holes for #8 x ⁵⁄₈ " (16 mm) wood screw(s), then skip directly
to step 5.
2b. If you will be routing the cable through a hole in the transom, drill a
⁵⁄₈ " diameter (16 mm) hole
above the waterline (Figure 25). Route the cable through this hole, then fill the hole with marine-
grade silicone sealant and proceed to the next step immediately.
3. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and use it as a guide to mark the two escutcheon
plate mounting holes. Remove the plate, drill two
⁹⁄₆₄ " dia. (3.5 mm) x ⁵⁄₈ " deep (16 mm) holes, then
fill both holes with marine-grade silicone sealant. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole
and attach with two #8 x
⁵⁄₈ " (16 mm) wood screws.
4. Route and secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom; drill one
⁹⁄₆₄ " dia. (3.5 mm)
x
⁵⁄₈ " deep (16 mm) hole, then fill hole with marine-grade silicone sealant, then attach the cable
clamp using a #8 x
⁵⁄₈ " (16 mm) screw.
5. Plug the other end of the transducer cable back into the control head connection holder.
Final Testing
After transom transducer installation, please perform the final testing and then finalize the installation
(see Test and Finish the Installation).
