WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.

CAUTION: Do not handle the bottom of the transducer while it is transmitting sonar. Prolonged contact with the transducer element can cause physical discomfort or minor tissue damage.

WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty. Handling and/or opening this unit may result in exposure to lead, in the form of solder.

WARNING! This product contains lead, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

PiranhaMax Sonar Technology

The PiranhaMax is the easiest to use fishfinder ever. For most anglers, all you’ll ever need to do is power on and fish! The PiranhaMax automatically determines depth and makes adjustments to keep the bottom and fish visible on the display.

The PiranhaMax uses sonar technology to send sound waves from the transducer into the water. The returned “echoes” are plotted on the display, creating a very accurate picture of the underwater world, including distance to underwater objects such as the bot- tom, fish and structure.

Your PiranhaMax will have either Single Beam or Dual Beam sonar. Find the correct sonar description that applies to your unit.

Single Beam Sonar

Your PiranhaMax10 uses a 200 kHz single beam sonar system with a 20° area of coverage. Boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and trans- ducer installation can all affect depth capability.

Dual Beam Sonar

Your PiranhaMax15 or PiranhaMax20 uses a 200/83 kHz dual beam sonar sys- tem with a wide (60°) area of coverage. Dual Beam sonar is optimized to show the greatest bottom definition using a narrow (20°) beam yet can still indicate fish found in the wide (60°) beam when the Fish ID+TM feature is turned on. Dual Beam is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water condi- tions and transducer installation can all affect depth capability.

PIRANHAMAX15, PIRANHAMAX20 specifications

Humminbird's PIRANHAMAX series, specifically the PIRANHAMAX 20 and PIRANHAMAX 15, represents a captivating blend of technology and practicality designed for fishing enthusiasts. These fish finders are renowned for their user-friendly features and powerful imaging capabilities, making them ideal for both novice and experienced anglers.

Starting with the PIRANHAMAX 20, this device boasts a 4.3-inch color display that ensures clear visibility under various lighting conditions.

This device is tailored for those who prefer simplicity without sacrificing functionality. It also enables anglers to easily identify bottom contours and track their fishing performances through a user-friendly interface.

Both models are designed with portability in mind, making them suitable for various boating styles and transport setups. They are equipped with simplified menus and controls, allowing anglers to quickly adapt and operate the devices without the need for extensive instruction.

In addition to their outstanding imaging capabilities, both the PIRANHAMAX 20 and 15 are weather-resistant, ensuring durability against the elements encountered on the water. Their lightweight construction also makes them easy to mount or carry, catering to the needs of mobile fishermen.
