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 mounting generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass-hulled boats. Humminbird cannot guarantee depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the hull of the boat since some signal loss occurs. The amount of loss depends on hull construction and thickness, and the installation.

This installation requires slow-cure two-part epoxy. Do not use silicone or any other soft adhesive to install the transducer, as this material reduces the sensitivity of the unit. Five minute epoxy has a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged.

Step One - Determine the Mounting Location

Begin the transducer installation by determining where inside the hull to install the transducer. Consider the following to find the best location:

Observe the outside of the boat hull to find the areas that are mostly free from turbulent water. Avoid ribs, strakes, and other protrusions as these create turbulence (Figure 14).

As a general rule, the faster the boat can travel the further aft and closer to the centerline of the hull the transducer has to be located to remain in contact with the water at high speeds.

Step Two - Test the Mounting Location

There is no opportunity for adjustment after the transducer glued

in place. Therefore, it is best to perform a trial installation on inside the hull transducers first, and run the boat at high speeds to determine the best mounting area.

1.At the identified mounting location, lay the transducer body face down with the pointed end towards the bow.

2.Fill the hull with enough water to submerge the transducer body. Use a sand filled bag or other heavy object to hold the transducer in position.

ProFlasher specifications

The Humminbird ProFlasher is a cutting-edge ice fishing tool that offers anglers an enhanced fishing experience through its innovative design and features. This flasher is a key tool for serious ice fishermen, providing real-time information about underwater conditions and fish activity.

One of the main features of the ProFlasher is its high-resolution display, which utilizes patented technology for accurate representation of the underwater environment. This display provides detailed information about the depth of the water, the location of fish, and the structure of the bottom, enabling users to make informed decisions. The bright LED lights make it easy to see in various lighting conditions, an essential feature for early morning or late afternoon fishing sessions.

Another remarkable technology integrated into the Humminbird ProFlasher is its exclusive, advanced sonar capabilities. The device uses DualBeam PLUS sonar technology that allows anglers to select between two beams - a wide beam for covering more area and a narrow beam for more precise targeting. This flexibility is particularly valuable in varying fishing conditions and types of fish being pursued.

In addition to its sonar capabilities, the ProFlasher is built with a durable construction to withstand the harsh environments encountered during ice fishing. The rugged design ensures that it can endure cold temperatures, impacts, and water exposure without losing functionality.

The battery life of the Humminbird ProFlasher is another characteristic that sets it apart from competitors. It comes equipped with a long-lasting battery that can operate for hours on a single charge, allowing anglers to fish all day without worrying about running out of power.

The ProFlasher also features a user-friendly interface, simplifying navigation through its settings. Intuitive controls allow anglers to easily adjust sensitivity, depth range, and display options, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users.

Additionally, the portability of the ProFlasher is noteworthy. It is lightweight and compact, complete with a carrying case, making it easy to transport to and from fishing locations.

Overall, the Humminbird ProFlasher combines advanced technologies with practical design elements, making it an indispensable tool for any ice fishing enthusiast seeking to enhance their fishing experience. Whether targeting specific fish species or scouting for new fishing spots, the ProFlasher delivers the performance and reliability that serious anglers demand.
