Humminbird 917C, 957C guide

Plug Cable Connector Assembly to

Back of Control Head

10.While holding cables in place in the cable collector insert, thread the cables through the slot in the bottom of the cable collector cover, line up the cable collector insert and cover, then slide the cover into place on the insert.

NOTE: The tab on the Cable Collector insert goes into the slot on the cover.

Connecting the Control Head Power Cable to the Boat

A 6' (2 m) long power cable is included to supply power to the control head. You may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge multi-stranded copper wire.

CAUTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 Volt electric systems, but the control head MUST be connected to a 12 VDC power supply.

The control head power cable can be connected to the electrical system of the boat at one of two places: a fuse panel usually located near the console, or directly to the battery.

11.Attach the cable collector insert to the cable collector cover using the 2 Phillips screws provided.

12.Place the control head back onto the mounting bracket. Plug in the cable collector assembly to the back of the control head. Cable connectors and cable sockets are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the wrong sockets. Once the cable collector and all cables are plugged into the back of the control head, lock the assembly into place by threading the knurled screw into the threaded insert on the back of the housing. Adjust the control head to the desired viewing angle and secure by tightening the gimbal knobs.

NOTE: You may wish to dress the cabling with nylon wire ties in order to hold the cables together and create a cleaner assembly.

The Humminbird® 900 Series™ control head is now ready for operation.

GROUND

NOTE: Make sure that the power cable is disconnected from the control head at the beginning of this procedure.

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 3 amp fuse.
