INSTALLATION

TRANSOM INSTALLATION

Step Four - Mount the Transducer to the Transom

1.Apply silicone sealant to the mounting holes drilled into the transom.

2.Align the transducer assembly with the drilled holes in the transom (Figure 8).

3.Use either a flat head screwdriver, a 5/16" (8mm) hex driver, or a 5/16" (8mm) socket to mount the assembly. Using the two #10 – 1”

(25mm) long slotted hex head screws, mount the transducer assembly to the transom as shown. Do not fully tighten the mounting screws in order to vertically adjust the transducer. Snap the pivot down into place.

Step Five - Adjust the Running Position of the Transducer

The bracket allows height and tilt adjustment, the pivot screws allow angular adjustment. Initially, adjust the transducer as described in the following paragraphs. Further adjustment may be necessary to refine the instillation after high speed testing.

1.First adjust the pivot angle of the transducer body so its length is parallel with the length of hull of the boat. Then pivot the transducer down so the rear is about 1/4 inch (6mm) lower than the front (Figure 9).

2.Fully tighten the two pivot screws using the Allen wrenches. It may be necessary to retighten the pivot screws after the initial use as the plastics may still be seating to the lock washers.

3.Adjust the height of the assembly so the face of the transducer is 3/16" (4.5mm) beneath the lower edge of the transom (Figure 10). Mark the position of the mounting bracket on the transom with a pencil.

4.Force the pivot to the up position to gain access to the mounting screws. Assure the transducer location has not changed, then fully tighten the two mounting screws (Figure 11). Snap the pivot back down.

Confirm the pivot angle has not changed.

Note: A third screw location is provided for the

mounting bracket. Drill this hole and install the screw after final testing and adjustments have been completed.

The Tour Series is built to withstand the demanding conditions of fishing. With a rugged design and a bright, sunlight-readable display, these fish finders ensure visibility in various environments. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive, allowing for easy adjustments on the fly. Additionally, the models are equipped with a robust transducer system that can achieve impressive depths and deliver accurate readings even in challenging waters.

The integration of the 360 Imaging feature is another standout characteristic. This capability offers a complete panoramic view of the water around the boat, providing additional data on fish and structure location. The ability to see a complete picture of the surroundings allows anglers to make better decisions in real time.

Lastly, the Tour Series doesn’t compromise on connectivity. With built-in Bluetooth and networking capabilities, anglers can connect multiple devices simultaneously and share data seamlessly. Whether you are monitoring multiple fishing rods or collaborating with fellow anglers, the Tour Series provides the tools necessary to enhance your fishing excursions.

In summary, the Humminbird Tour Series combines advanced sonar technology, comprehensive GPS mapping, durable construction, and connectivity features, making it a leader in the fishing electronics market.
