1. TRANSDUCER MOUNTING PROCEDURE Humminbird s high speed transducer is supplied with your LCR This transducer has been designed to give good high speed readings on most all boat designs including aluminum Please carefully consider the following before installing your transducer EH TOM FISH A ZERO LIGHT AT SOFT AT JO FT FISH A AT SOFT FLASHER DISP AT LGA CHSPLAY WHAT EX DINDERE H I HAT 5 a UNCER THE BOAT Hessen PASSE CHER FIGURE 1 TRANSDUCER MOUNTING OPTIONS A Transom Mount The Humminbird high speed transducer allows the transducer element to be mounted below the bottom of the boat hull keeping the transducer out of turbulent water and insuring good high speed operation The transducer will absorb the blow of any obstruction B by rotating up out of the metal spring bracket without harming the transducer or your boat The transducer can be re engaged by simply rotating the transducer down and snapping it back in place See Figure A Figura A Inside Hull Mount The high speed transducer can be mounted inside the hull without pivot assembly using the proper two part epoxy such as Humminbird s epoxy kit Even though there is some loss of signal in shooting through the hull your LCR will perform well with this type of installation You cannot shoot through the hull of an aluminum boat Trolling motor Mount This type of transducer is not supplied with your LCR It is designed to mount on the foot of2. NO Step 5 ANGLE ALLIGHMENT Set the transducer angle so that it is parallel with the bottom of the boat hull Once proper alignment is achieved tighten the two allen head screws using the 5 32 allen Figure ta wrench provided The screws are visible through the access holes on each side of the metal bracket Check to make sure the transducer main body is rigidly fastened to the pivot See Figure H Figure H aE So H LE FO NE E AMO TO malt GOLA ACLs M Bie B CY SO THAT TT JS PARALLEL WARS Step 6 CHECK POSITION OF TRANSDUCER At this point check to see that the bottom of the transducer is a minimum of 4 below the bottom of the transom However as noted in STEP 2 the top of the transducer cannot fall below the bottom of the transom If it is not remove the transducer assembly from the metal bracket by removing the pin installed during STEP 3 Loosen the metal bracket mounting screws re position the bracket utilizing it s slotted holes tighten and re assemble It may be necessary to replace the silicone sealant after this adjustment is made NOTE lt may be necessary to make several high speed runs to adjust transducer either UP DOWN or to re adjust the angle to achieve optimum results otep 7 CABLE CLAMPS Install cable clamps as necessary by drilling a 1 8 dia hole for the 8 screw supplied 2 INSIDE HULL MOUNTING PROCEDURE Warning In order to achieve proper results with this type installation it is
