INSTALLATION PREPARATION INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Determining How to Mount the Transducer Your Humminb ird fishfinder includes a standard transducer. This transducer can be mounted on the transom of the boat or bonded to the inside of a fiberglass hull boat. The transom installation, which is the most widely used, places the transducer on the outside [...]

INSTALLATION PREPARATION ALTERNATE M OUNTING METHODS ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS Your Humminbird fishfinder comes with everything necessary for installation and operation on most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a different type of transducer. In board boats, wood or metal hulls, and sail boats create un[...]

INSTALLATION PREPARATION TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard transducer. You may exchange your new and unassembled transducer for another type by returning i t to the address listed in Customer Support. Some transducers may have additional cost. Refer to the Accessory catalog or c[...]

INSTALLAT ION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Do not begin this transducer installation until you read the Installation Preparation in the Operation Guide. This chapter contains information critical to the correct installation of your transducer. Due to the wide variety of b oat hulls, only general instructions are presented in the installation guide. Each bo[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION • If the propeller(s) is (are) forward of the transom, it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. Step Two - Drill the Mounting Holes 1. Remove the mounting template from the front of the Operations Manual. 2. Hold the te[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Four - Mount the Transducer to the Transom 1. Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom. 2. Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom (Figure 8). 3. U se either a flat head screwdriver, a 5/16" (8mm) hex driver, or a 5/16" (8mm) socket to mount th[...]

mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and adjustments have been completed.[...]

INSTALLATION TRANSOM INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable There are several ways to route the transducer c able to the to the area where the control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat. Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring that the cable can be [...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION Inside the hull installation requires the mount system and control head be installed and operational. See Installing the Control Head for instruction on installing the unit. Inside the hull mountin g generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats. [...]

The transducer cannot transmit through air. The water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface.[...]

INSTALLATION INSIDE THE HULL INSTALLATION 3. Power up the Control Head. 4. Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the Control Head. If the unit functions well at low speeds but b egins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer needs to be moved. If depth performance is required, test the fish[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step One - Determine Where to Mount Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head. Consider the following to determine best location: • The cables for power, transducer and temp/speed accessories (if applicable) should be installed first and must reach the mo[...]

fuse in the connection. If you must wire the control head directly to a battery, be sure to install an inline fuse holder[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION and one amp fuse (not inc luded) for the protection of the unit (Figure 21). Humminbird is not responsible for over voltage or over current failures. In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine electronics a separate power source (such as a second batter y) may be necessary. Step Thre[...]

Optional: If the ca bles pass outside the mounting bracket, install the hole cover over the hole and fasten in place using the two #8 x 7/8” (22mm) wood screws (Figure 24).[...]

INSTALLATION CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION Step Five - Assembling the Connector Holder 1. Insert the cabl e connectors into the connector holder. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the connector holder (Figure 26). The slots for the connectors are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so do not force the connector [...]

INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION TEST THE INSTALLATION Testing should be performed with the boat in the water, however you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat trailered. Press POWER once to turn the unit on. There will be an audible chirp when any button is pressed to confirm the button press. If the unit does not power - up, ensu[...]

Installing the SeaScope ID600 Before mounting the SeaScope ID600, gather the parts you need; SeaScope ID600, gimball mounting bracket, mounting hardware kit, power cable, and transducer cable. If the transducer cable is not long enough for your installat ion, see “Accessories” earlier in the manual for information on the EC - 6 10’ extension [...]

3. Remove the rear housing and store for f uture use. 4. Drill a 3 1/2 “ hole in the dash or console at the location you have chosen. This is a standard gauge opening size, and hole saws are available at hardware stores, tool rental stores, or marine dealers. 5. Place the SeaScope ID600 in the opening, and mark the four mounting holes from which [...]

STOP: Press this to “freeze” the display so you can study it. Press it again to restart the display movement. SELECT: This button is used to access the following functions for further adjustments: • Sensitivity/Units • Bottom Al arm • Fish Alarm • Zoom • Bottom Lock • Display Speed • Depth Range • Fish ID To adjust any of these,[...]

range. For example, if you set it at “+2”, Sensitivity remains 2 settings higher that the normal automatic setting. Pressing the ON - OFF button when the SENS menu is displa yed switches the unit of depth measurement between feet, fathoms and meters. Bottom Alarm 2. Using Bottom Alarm; Factory setting; OFF The Bottom Alarm lets you specify the [...]

The Fish Alarm alerts you with a chirping sound whenever the SeaScope ID600 detects fish (or another object not attached to the bottom). To activate it, select FISH ALM and press the ON - OFF button.
