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 cons ider the following before installing your transducer.
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 trans ducer down and snapping it back in place.
Once the location is determined mark and drill three 7/64” dia.. holes noted on the template. Attach the metal bracket using three #10 self threading screws supplied. Be sure to align holes in the center of the Bracket slots. O n some aluminum boats it may be necessary to use a wood back - up plate.
NOTE: On boats with more than 15 degree deadrise angle it may be necessary to mount the transducer slightly off parallel with the water level. (S ee Figure E) Mark and drill the three 9/64” dia. holes as shown on the template. Attach the metal bracket using the three #10 self threading screws supplied.
Step 4 TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY - Insert the transducer assembly into the metal bracket from the bottom. Push up until the holes in the plastic pivot align with the uppermost holes in the bracket. Slide the O - ring on to the headed pin and insert it through the two parts.
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) Step 6 CHECK POSITION OF TRANSDUCER - At this point, check to see that the bottom of the transducer is a minimum of ¼” below the bottom of the transom.
7. Remove the water and transducer and clean the marked area and the bottom of the transducer thoroughly. 8. Using the Humminbird Epoxy Kit or equivalent, mix an ample amount of epoxy without causing it to bubble and pour it in the area the transducer is to be mounted.
Install the mounting knobs and tighten snugly. The unit can now be swiveled and tilted to a ny desired position..
OTHER MOUNTING OPTIONS 1. The LCR gimbal bracket can also be mounted on the SM - 4, quick disconnect swivel mount. 2. The LCR gimbal bracket can also be mounted directly to the dash without the swivel mount, however, this method is not recommended since the unit cannot be rotated.
It plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked “Power”. The transducer connector is identified with the letter T and plugs into t he outlet on the back of the unit marked “Transducer”.
WARNING: This device should not be used as a navigation aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage or personal injury. When the boat is moving, submerged objects w ill not be seen until they are already under the boat or bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the boat operator to react.
Positive Noise Reject System - Easily adjustable control knob to eliminate interference and false signals with the Humminbird positive noise reject system. High Speed Readings - Clear bottom readings at any speed up to 75 miles per hour can be achieved providing the transducer has been properly installed.
THEORY OF OPERATION Your depth sounder works on the sonar principle. The control head generates an electr onic signal which is coupled to the transducer where it is changed to an ultrasonic signal. This signal travels through the water until it hits an object or the lake bottom.
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.
2. Improper installation of the transducer can alter the efficiency and accuracy of the entire system. 3. If your boat or transducer is out of the water for a period of time, it may take a short period of time fo r the transducer to become thoroughly "wetted" when returned to the water.
Step 2 (Fiberglass Boats) BRACKET INSTALLATION - If your boat has a stepped transom located below and under the main transom, the compact transducer design allows mounting in this area. This mounting location is recommended for good reading at very high speeds.
TRANSDUCER PIVOT AS SEMBLY Assemble the pivot to the transducer main body using the two 1/4x%" alien head screws, two %," tooth washers and two'/," square nuts. Make sure the tooth washers are sandwiched between the transducer main body and the pivot.
NOTE: It may be necessary to make several high speed runs to adjust transducer either UP/DOWN or to readjust the angle to achieve optimum results. Step 7 CABLE CLAMPS - Install cable cla mps as necessary by drilling a %' dia. hole for the #8 screw supplied.
3. Put approximately one inch of water in the bottom of the boat. 4. Put transducer in the water. The bottom of the transducer should be in a flat area and should be in good contact with the bottom of the boat. 5. Operate the unit with the boat operating at high speed.
The 1" transducer used on the Super Thirty II emits a 32 degress cone angle. This wider beam is used in shallow water since it provides a wider area of coverage. NOTE: While the 1" transducer is recommended for the Super 3011, some may prefer the perform ance of the 2" transducer.
Mounting Instructions: Drill a %" hole in the desired location and mount switch with extra nut and washer provided. See illustrations below for correct cab le connections. NOTE: With switch in this position depth sounder #2 operates from the transducer.
MOUNTING SCREW INSTRUCTIONS Important: Always use special flat washers provided with mounting screws when mounting unit to prevent breaking plastic knob due to overtightening. Washers must be installed as shown above between gimbal bracket and knob. IN - DASH UNIT The first completely waterproof, flush - mount unit on the market.
9. The final step is to connect the control cable and transducer to the unit. You may choose to mount your I n - Dash Sixty in a location other than in the dash.
NOTE: The Humminbird In - Dash Sixty has a noise reject system built in. NOTE: A large number of modern fishing boats are now equipped with two depth sounders, one of which is mounted on the console with the transducer positioned near the back. The second unit is positioned in front with the transducer mounted off the foot of the trolling motor.
NOISE REJECT ADJUSTMENT NOTE: When the NOISE REJECT knob is turned clockwise, the amount of the reflected signal may be slightly reduced. Therefore, turn this knob clockwise only as far as need ed to reduce interference. If there is no interference, this knob can be left in the full counterclockwise position.
HOW TO READ THE DIAL Objects Under Water A lake bottom is seldom level or uniform, and objects in the water or on the bottom may also vary in depth. The dial readings will indicate these varying conditions accordingly. To distinguish between the dial indicat ions of rocks and fish, anchor the boat and watch for signals that change.

OPERATION OF THE SUPER THIRTY 11 IN VERY SHALLOW WATER The Humminbird Super Thirty II will operate in the same manner as our Super 60 except the unit with its wide graduations is ideally suited for shallow water applications. This unit measures to 30 feet on the first revolution and will operate satisfactorily in water depths of 100 feet or more.
BIRDTRAP The Birdtrap allows you to make a portable unit of any permanent mount Humminbird Depth Sounder except the In - Dash. Follow the installation instructions received with your portable Birdtrap, then refer to the operational section of this manual for proper use.
The Birdtrap is used in the same manner as a permanent mount unit. The transducer may be mounted using the suction cup as shown in Figure 12 or, if you have a fiberglass boat with a single hull, the transducer may be paced in a small amount of water in the hull of the boat.
PORTABLE TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY Follow illustration instructions. CAUTION: You should tie down the transducer cable, so that if the suction cup comes loose it will not allo w the transducer to be damaged by the propeller or possibly pull the unit out of the boat.
INSTRUCTION DIAGRAM FOR CONNECTING 6 VOLT BATTERIES TO PORTABLE BIRDTRAP U se two six volt lantern batteries with spring terminals. Connect as shown above. BATTERIES All Models operate from the 12 volt system on your boat or a 12 volt dry cell source.
ICE FISHING WITH THE BIRDTRAP The Birdtrap p rovides an excellent aid to ice fishermen. The unit will read accurately when placed on top of the ice provided that a little moisture is formed beneath the transducer. NOTE: This procedure does not work if an air gap develops between ice and water.
If you should ever experience any operational problem with your Humminbird, please refer to the following Trouble Sh ooting guide. If, after checking the various areas described, you are still experiencing problems, we would suggest you return your unit to our plant for repair.
Cannot Obtain Deep Reading If mounted inside boat, be sure transducer is properly installed with fiberglass or epoxy resin. If transducer is inside the hull and is not bonded to the hull, the area must be filled with clean water, free of oil. Be sure t ransducer is pointing as straight down as possible with boat in the water.
