Transom Mount - Side Imaging®
Routing the cable
The transducer cable has a low profile connector that must be routed to the
point where the control head is mounted. 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
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.
It is best to route the cable to the side of the transducer so the cable will not be
damaged by the rotation of the transducer.
2. If you will be routing the cable through a hole in the transom, drill a
5/8" diameter (16 mm) hole above the waterline. 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" (3.5 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.
Testing the installation
After transom transducer installation, please perform the final testing and then
finalize the installation (see Test and Finish the Transducer Installation).
