Installation Overvie w Before y ou start installation, we encourage y ou to read these instructions carefully in order to get the full benefit from your PiranhaMAX.
Fixed Control Head Installation 1. Determine Where to Mount Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head. Consider the following to determine the best location: • T o check the location planned for the control head, test run the cables for the power and tr ans duc er .
NO TE: Humm inb ir d® is not re spo nsi ble for ove r -v ol tag e or ov er -cu rre nt fail ur es. The con tr ol head must ha ve ade qua te prot ect ion thr oug h the pr ope r sel ect ion and inst all ati on of a 1 amp fu se.
3. Assemble the Control Head Base Y our control head base will have a tilt and swivel mount. See the instructions below to assemble and mount the control head base. T o assemble a tilt and swivel mount: 1. I nser t the moun t arms in to the base. Then, hold the mount arms in place as you turn the base upside down.
4. Route the Control Head Cables Under the Deck Use the following steps to route the control head cables under the deck. NO TE: Under th e deck ca ble r out ing is no t alwa ys possi ble . If this is no t an optio n, the cab les shoul d be r outed and se cur ed a bo ve d eck .
5. Attach the Control Head to the Base Follow these steps to attach the control head to the already -assembled base: NO TE: Th e tran sdu cer cab le and pow er cab le shou ld be r out ed prio r t o s ecu rin g th e mou nti ng b rac ke t to t he d eck .
5. Align the pivot knuckle with the mount base arms and slide into place, twisting slightly if necessary , until the unit is firmly seated. 6. Rotate the control head to the desired angle and hand tighten the thumbknob bolt. 7. Thread the gimbal knob onto the pivot bolt and tighten.
T ransom T ransducer Installation Overvie w Following are instructions for transom mount installation. T he tr ansom mount installation provides the least loss of signal since the transducer is mounted outside the hull.
T ransom T ransducer Installation 1. Locate the T ransducer Mounting Position T urbulence: Y ou must fir st determine the best location on the transom to install the transducer . It is very important to locate the transducer in an area that is relatively free of turbulent water .
transducer out of the water at higher speeds. T he transducer must remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar signal (Figure 10). • If the transom is behind the propeller(s), it .
1. Make sure that the boat is level on the trailer , both from port to starboard and from bow to stern, by placing your level on the deck of the boat, first in one direction, then in the other. 2. Hold the mounting bracket against the transom of the boat in the location you hav e selected (F igure 13).
4. Make sure that the drill bit is perpendicular to the actual surface of the transom, NOT parallel to the ground, before you drill. Using a 5/32” bit, drill the two holes only to a depth of approximately 1”.
13 2. Place the two ratchets, one on either side of the transducer knuckle, so that the beads on each ratchet line up with the desired position number on the knuckle (Figure 18a).
3. Put the pivot bolt through the assembly to hold it in position and loosely install the nut, but do NOT tighten the nut at this time (Figure 19). CA UTION! Do not use a hig h spe ed driv er on this com bin ati on of fas ten ers . Ha nd ti ght en o nly .
6. Ad just the transdu cer assembl y ve rticall y , until the seam on the leading edge of the transducer (the edge closest to the transom of the boat) is level and just slightly below the hull (Figure 23).
4. Route the Cable The transducer cable has a low profile connector , which must be routed to the point where the control head is mounted. T here are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head is installed . The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat.
3. Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and use it as a guide to mark the two escutcheon plate mounting holes. Remove the plate, drill two 9/64" diameter x 5/8" deep holes, and then fill both holes with marine- grade silicone sealant.
5. T est and Finish the Installation Once you have installed both the control head and the transom transducer , and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test before locking the transducer in place. T esting should be performed with the boat in the water .

PiranhaMAX Portable Case Assembly It is important to perform the PiranhaMAX portable case assembly tasks in order , r eferring to the step-by -step procedur es that represent the follo wing main assem.
1. Assemble the Control Head Base Y our control head base will have a tilt and swivel mount. See the instructions below to assemble and mount the control head base. T o assemble a tilt and swivel mount: 1. Insert the mount arms into the base. Then, hold the mount arms in place as you turn the base upside down.
2. Assemble the Base and Handle In this procedure, you will install the PiranhaMAX mount and handle to the base of the portable case. 1. T urn the base upside down. Punch out the mounting holes labeled “C” with a hammer and a screwd river (or an awl) as shown in the illustration Pu nch in g Ho les .
4. Install the handle onto the base, so that the curved part of the handle faces towar ds the back of the base, towards the battery well. Use the four included #8-32 x 7/16" screws, two on each side, to attach the handle to the base (see the illustrations Ins tal li ng th e Han dle Ont o the Ba se and S lid in g in the Ha nd le ).
4. Route the Cables In this procedure, you will route the power an d tra ns du ce r jum pe r ca bl es o n th e underside of the base, and attach the tie- down straps that will be used to secure th e ba tt er y to t he b as e in a l at er procedure. 1.
2. Route the power cable from the mount DOWN through the center hole of the base. Route the transducer jump cable UP through the base and mount. (Figure 34) 3. Connect the cables to the control head. The slots for the plugs are keyed to prev ent rev erse installation, and insertion should be easy .
26 6. Fit the transducer jumper cable connector down into the jumper cable well and snap it into place. Insert the two #6-32 x 1/4" screws included to secure the transducer jumper connector and tighten using a Phillips screwdriv er . Hand tighten only! 7.
