Installation Overview Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions carefully in order to get the full benefit from your PiranhaMAX. There are three basic installation tasks that you must perform for the PiranhaMAX: • Installing the Control Head • Installing the Transducer • Testing the complete installation and locking the transducer position. NOTE: In addition to the hardware supplied with your transducer, you will need a powered hand drill and various drill bits,

Fixed Control Head Installation 1. Determine Where to Mount Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head. Consider the following to determine the best location: • To check the location planned for the control head, test run the cables for the power and transducer. See Transom Transducer Installation in order to plan the location of the transducer and cable route. • The mounting surface should be stable enough Figure 1 to protect the control head from excessive wave shock

NOTE: Humminbird® is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures. The control head must have adequate protection through the proper selection and installation of a 1 amp fuse. 1a. If a fuse terminal is available, use crimp-on type electrical connectors (not included) that match the terminal on the fuse panel. Attach the black wire to ground (-), and the red wire to positive (+) 12 VDC power G GR ROUND OUND (Figure 3). Install a 1 amp fuse (not included) for protection of the unit.

3. Assemble the Control Head Base Your control head base will have a tilt and swivel mount. See the instructions below to assemble and mount the control head base. Tilt and Swivel Mount To assemble a tilt and swivel mount: Control Head Base Assembly 1. Insert the mount arms into the base. Then, hold the mount arms in place as you turn the base upside down. Mount Arms 2. Insert the swivel ring into the base, Base with the countersink holes for the arm screws facing out. 3. Secure the mount arms w

If this is not an option, the cables should be routed and secured above deck. NOTE: See Transom Transducer Installation in order to plan the location of the transducer and cable route. Tilt and Swivel Mount Tilt and Swivel Mount: Control Head Base 1a. Mark and drill a 3/4" hole as shown in Figure 6. Route th

5. Attach the Control Head to the Base Follow these steps to attach the control head to the already-assembled base: NOTE: The transducer cable and power cable should be routed prior to securing the mounting bracket to the deck. 1. Apply marine-grade silicone sealant to the drilled holes for the mounting bracket. 2. Place the mounting bracket on the mounting surface, aligning with the drilled holes. 3. Insert the four #8 Phillips countersink wood screws into the mounting holes. Hand tighten only!

5. Align the pivot knuckle with the mount base arms and slide into place, twisting slightly if necessary, until the unit is firmly seated. 6. Rotate the control head to the desired angle and hand tighten the thumbknob bolt. 7. Thread the gimbal knob onto the pivot bolt and tighten. 6. Attach the Cables to the Control Head Follow these steps to attach the power and transducer cables to the control head: 1. Matching the cable plugs to the shape and orientation of the sockets, insert the transducer

Transom Transducer Installation Overview Following are instructions for transom mount installation. The transom mount installation provides the least loss of signal since the transducer is mounted outside the hull. This installation also allows adjustment of both running angle and depth after the transducer is mounted, which enables you to tune the installation for best results. NOTE: Due to the wide variety of hulls, only general instructions are presented in this installation guide. Each boat

Transom Transducer Installation 1. Locate the Transducer Mounting Position Turbulence: You must first determine the best location on the transom to install the transducer. It is very important to locate the transducer in an area that is relatively free of turbulent water. Consider the following to find the best location with the least amount of turbulence: Areas of Possible Turbulence • As the boat moves through the water, turbulence is generated by the weight of the boat and the thrust of the p

transducer out of the water at higher speeds. The transducer must remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar signal (Figure 10). • If the transom is behind the propeller(s), it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered, such as an Inside the Hull Transducer. • If you plan to trailer your boat, do not mount the transducer too close to trailer bunks or rollers to avoid moving or damaging t

Level Positioning the Mounting Bracket 1. Make sure that the boat is level on the trailer, both from port to starboard and from bow to stern, by Level placing your level on the deck of the boat, first in one direction, then in the other. 2. Hold the mounting bracket against the transom of the boat in the location you have selected (Figure 13). Align the bracket horizontally, using the level. Figure 13 Make sure that the lower screw hole protrusion does not protrude past the bottom of the hull, a

4. Make sure that the drill bit is perpendicular to the actual surface of the transom, NOT parallel to the ground, before you drill. Using a 5/32” bit, drill the two holes only to a depth of approximately 1”. NOTE: On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating. 3. Assemble and Mount the Transducer In this procedure, you will assemble the transducer using the hardware provided, then mount it and make adjustment

Measuring the Transom Angle 2. Place the two ratchets, one on either side of the transducer knuckle, so that the beads on each ratchet line up with the desired position number on the knuckle (Figure 18a). If you are setting the ratchets at position 1, the beads Plumb Line on each ratchet will line up with the rib on the transducer knuckle to form one continuous Transom line on the assembly (Figure 18b). Angle in degrees (°) NOTE: The ratchets are keyed. Make sure that the square teeth on each ra
