531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 1 1100 Series â„¢ Introduction Your 1100 Series â„¢ Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System comes in several different configurations . See the following list of products , all of which are covered by this manual , to find your 1100 Series â„¢ configuration : â€¢ Humminbird Â® 1157c / 1157c NVB DualBeam Combo : Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System with Chartplotter ( Maps ) and Dual Frequency Transducer , GPS Receiver included â€¢ Humminbird Â® 1197c / 1197c NVB SI Combo : Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System with Chartplotter ( Maps ) and Side Imaging and Dual Frequency Transducer , GPS Receiver included . How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves . The 1100 Series â„¢ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure , bottom contour and composition , as well as depth directly below the transducer . Your 1100 Series â„¢ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object ; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location , size , and composition of an object . Sonar is very fast . A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft ( 70 m ) and back again in less than 1 / 4 of a second . It is unlikely that your boat can " outrun " this sonar signal . SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging . Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or " pings " which are emitted into the water in a teardrop - shaped beam . The sound pulses " echo " back from objects in the water such as the bottom , fish and other submerged objects . The returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen . Each time a new echo is received , the old echoes are moved across the LCD , creating a scrolling effect . When all the echoes are viewed side by side , an easy to interpret " graph " of the bottom , fish and structure appears . 1

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 2 The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application . Very high frequencies ( 455 kHz ) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited . High frequencies ( 200 kHz ) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution . Low frequencies ( 83 kHz ) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability . The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter . It is commonly measured using two methods : â€¢ Root Mean Square ( RMS ) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle . â€¢ Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points . The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances , ability to overcome noise , better high speed performance and enhanced depth capability . 2

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 3 High Definition Side Imaging Sonar ( 1197c SI Combo models only ) Your 1100 Series â„¢ 1197c SI Combo uses Side Imaging sonar to provide a wide yet precise survey of a large area of water , including detailed bottom topography and fish - attracting structure orientation . The Side Imaging transducer returns are processed into an image similar to an aerial photograph . 86 Â° 86 Â° 455 kHz 455 kHz 60 Â° 20 Â° 200 kHz 83 kHz 180 Â° Total Coverage Typically , the Side Imaging sonar can search an area that is 720 feet wide ( 360 to each side ) , with a typical depth performance of 150 feet when the Side Imaging Sonar frequency is set for 455 kHz . The side beams can be operated at one of two frequencies : 455 kHz or 800 kHz . Selecting 800 kHz produces the sharpest image but the search area to each side and the depth capability are limited as compared to the 455 kHz frequency . See Whatâ€™s on the Side Imaging Display and Understanding Side Imaging for more information . DualBeam PLUS â„¢ Sonar Your 1100 Series â„¢ Fishing System uses a 200 / 83 kHz DualBeam PLUS â„¢ sonar system with a wide ( 60 Â° ) area of coverage . DualBeam PLUS â„¢ sonar has a narrowly focused 20 Â° center beam , surrounded by a second beam of 60 Â° , expanding your coverage to an area 20 Â° 60 Â° equal to your depth . In 20 feet of water , the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide . The 20 Â° center beam is focused on the bottom , 83 kHz 200 kHz to show you structure , weeds and cover . The 60 Â° wide beam is hunting for fish in the wide coverage area . DualBeam PLUS â„¢ sonar returns can be blended together , viewed separately or compared side - by - side . DualBeam PLUS â„¢ is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt 60 Â° Total Coverage water . Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed , wave action , bottom hardness , water conditions and transducer Bottom Coverage = 1 x Depth installation . 3

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 4 QuadraBeam PLUS â„¢ Sonar ( optional - purchase QuadraBeam PLUS â„¢ transducer only ) Your 1100 Series â„¢ Fishing System supports the optional - purchase QuadraBeam PLUS â„¢ transducer . QuadraBeam PLUS â„¢ sonar provides an extremely wide ( 90 Â° ) area of 35 Â° 60 Â° 20 Â° 35 Â° coverage . QuadraBeam PLUS â„¢ starts with two fan - shaped 83 kHz 455 kHz 455 kHz 200 kHz 35 Â° 455 kHz Side Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish , bait and structure to the left and right of the boat over an area 90 Â° Total Coverage of the bottom thatâ€™s always equal to twice your depth . Bottom Coverage = 2 x Depth For a detailed view below the boat , QuadraBeam PLUS â„¢ uses DualBeam PLUS â„¢ technology , with precision 20 Â° and wide 60 Â° beams . QuadraBeam PLUS â„¢ finds more fish faster , and can even tell you where to put your bait by showing if fish are to the left , right or directly beneath your boat . Universal Sonar 2 Your 1100 Series â„¢ Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2 , a state - of - the - art , integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of Minn Kota Â® trolling motors . With Universal Sonar 2 , all wiring is concealed inside the indestructible composite shaft â€” out of sight and out of harmâ€™s way , with no clamps , ties , or exposed wires . Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature sensing and the performance of DualBeam PLUS â„¢ technology . An expanded view and greater bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below , along with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish . How GPS and Cartography Work Your 1100 Series â„¢ Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting , and uses GPS and sonar to determine your position , display it on a grid , and provide detailed underwater information . The Global Positioning System ( GPS ) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S . Department of Defense . GPS was originally intended for military use ; however , civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities , typically within + / - 10 meters , depending on conditions . This means that 95 % of the time , the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position . Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS ( the Wide Area Augmentation System ) , EGNOS ( the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service ) , and MSAS ( the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System ) satellites if they are available in your area . GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth . Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites . All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at exactly the same time . The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it . Based on time differences between each received signal , the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite . With distances known , the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position . With once per second updates , the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing . 4

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 9 Control Head Installation You have two choices for mounting your 1100 Series â„¢ control head , Gimbal mounting , where you use a surface on the boat , such as the dash , to mount the control head so that it can be tilted up or down , or In - dash mounting . Gimbal Mounting the Control Head If you are gimbal mounting the Humminbird Â® 1100 Series â„¢ , you can pre - assemble the unit in order to plan the best mounting location . Washer 1 Gimbal Knob 2 1 Gimbal Mounting Bracket 3 2 3 In addition to the hardware supplied with your control head , you will need a powered hand drill and various drill bits , various hand tools , including a Phillips head screwdriver , a socket wrench and a flat head screwdriver , a marker or pencil , safety glasses and dust mask , and marine - grade silicone sealant . 1 . Place the control head into the gimbal bracket . Make sure that the straight side of the gimbal arm is against the back side of the control head . 2 . Place a 1 " ( 25 mm ) diameter black washer on the gimbal knob and then thread the knob and washer into the housing . Tighten the gimbal knob to secure the 1100 Series â„¢ control head to the mount . Repeat step 2 for the other side . You can now place the control head in various locations to decide which is best for mounting . Rotating the mounting bracket to the top of the control head will allow for overhead mounting . The chosen mounting area should allow for sufficient room so the control head can pivot through the full tilt range and allow for easy removal and installation . NOTE : You can drill the cable pass hole underneath the gimbal bracket , allowing you to thread the cables through the hole in the center of the mount ; however , if you cannot drill the hole directly under the mounting bracket , then you will need to drill the cable pass hole behind the bracket , and will need to mount the hole cover there instead . NOTE : When drilling holes in fiberglass hulls , it is best to start with a smaller bit and use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating . Fill all holes with marine grade silicone sealant . NOTE : You must have underside access to the mounting location to pass the cables through to the surface . Also , make sure that the mounting surface is adequately supported to protect the control head from excessive wave shock and vibration and provide visibility while in operation . 9

After the mounting location has been determined , loosen the gimbal knobs and remove the control head from the gimbal bracket . NOTE : Alternate hole patterns are available on the gimbal mounting bracket , and may match existing holes on the boat . You may choose to use one of these alternate hole patterns . 4 . Place the gimbal bracket in the chosen position on the mounting surface and mark the four mounting screw locations using a pencil or center punch . 1 Mounting Screws 1 Washer 2 Gimbal Mounting Bracket 3 3 2 5 . Set the gimbal bracket aside and drill the four mounting screw holes using a 5 / 32 " ( 4.0 mm ) drill bit . 6a . If the cables must pass through a hole directly beneath the mounting bracket , mark and drill an additional 1 " ( 25 mm ) hole centered between the four mounting holes . Route the cables through the 1 " hole . Place the gimbal over the mounting surface hole , then use it to mark the position of the two mounting screws , closest to the center large hole . Remove the gimbal and drill the two mounting holes using a 9 / 64 " ( 3.5 mm ) bit . Do not install the hole cover at this time . or . . . 6b . If the cables cannot be routed directly beneath the mounting bracket , mark and drill a 1 " ( 25 mm ) hole that will allow you to run the cables close to the bracket . Pass the cables through the 1 " ( 25 mm ) hole , routing the cables through the grommet and pressing the grommet into place . Place the hole cover over the mounting surface hole , then use it to mark the position of the two mounting screws . Remove the hole cover , drill the two mounting holes using a 9 / 64 " ( 3.5 mm ) bit , fill them with marine - grade silicone sealant , then replace the hole cover and insert the # 8 Phillips countersink wood screws .

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 17 Transducer Installation Overview The 1157c Combo units and the 1197c SI Combo units use two different types of transducers . Find the installation section that describes your transducer type . 1197c SI Transducer Installation ( 1197c SI Combo models only ) If you have a 1197c SI Combo unit , there are two different installation methods for your transducer : â€¢ Transom Transducer â€¢ Trolling Motor Transducer . Find the section that describes the method of installation you will be using . The Side Imaging transducer has some special requirements because of its side viewing capabilities : â€¢ The Side Imaging transducer must NOT have anything obstructing the â€˜ view â€™ of the side looking beams , i.e . nothing can be in the line of sight of these beams ( not a hull , motor , or other transducer , etc ) . NOTE : You may need to tilt the motor up and out of the way when using the side looking beams . â€¢ In order for the side beams to be displayed accurately , the transducer must be mounted so that it is looking straight down in the water when the boat is in the water . Transducer Position Motor Position NOTE : If the included transducer will not work for your application , you may exchange it , NEW and UNASSEMBLED , with mounting hardware included , for a transducer appropriate for your application - often at very little or no charge depending on the transducer . Call the Humminbird Â® Customer Resource Center at 1 - 800 - 633 - 1468 for details and pricing , or visit www.humminbird.com . NOTE : Due to the wide variety of hulls , only general instructions are presented in this installation guide . Each boat hull represents a unique set of requirements that should be evaluated prior to installation . In addition to the hardware supplied with your transducer , you will need a powered hand drill and various drill bits , various hand tools , including a ruler or straightedge , a marker or pencil , safety glasses and dust mask , and marine - grade silicone sealant . NOTE : Please read all instructions carefully and completely before beginning the installation process . NOTE : When drilling holes in fiberglass hulls , it is best to start with a smaller bit and use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating . 17

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 18 Transom Transducer Installation ( 1197c SI Combo models only ) If you will be installing a transom mounted transducer , use the procedures in this section . There are two pieces to the transducer mount assembly : the pivot , and the bracket . Your transducer comes with a two - piece metal and plastic bracket assembly . There are several procedures you will have to perform in order to install a transom - mounted transducer . They are : â€¢ Determine transducer mounting location â€¢ Mount the bracket to the boat â€¢ Attach the pivot to the transducer â€¢ Mount the transducer pivot assembly to the bracket â€¢ Adjust the running position of the transducer â€¢ Route the transducer cable â€¢ Perform a final test of the transom transducer installation . Stepped Hull Areas of Possible Turbulence Rivets Strakes Step Rib Transom Hull To determine transducer mounting location : NOTE : If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or cavitation noise , trolling motor installation may be an option . See Trolling Motor Transducer Installation for more information . 1 . First , determine the best location on the transom to install the transducer . Consider the following to find the best location : â€¢ It is very important to locate the transducer in an area which is relatively free of turbulent water . As a boat moves through the water , turbulence is generated by the weight of the boat , and the thrust of the propeller ( s ) - either clockwise or counter - clockwise . This turbulent water is normally confined to areas immediately aft of ribs , strakes Deadrise Angle or rows of rivets on the bottom of the boat , and in the immediate area of the propeller ( s ) . Clockwise propellers create more turbulence on the port side . On outboard or inboard / outboard boats , it is best to locate the transducer at least 15 " ( 380 mm ) to the side of the propeller ( s ) . 18
Page: 27

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 19 â€¢ The best way to locate turbulence - free water is to view the transom while the boat is moving . This method is recommended if maximum high - speed operation is a high priority . If this is not possible , select a location on the transom where the hull forward of this location is smooth , flat and free of protrusions or ribs . â€¢ The hydrodynamic shape of your transducer allows it to point straight down without deadrise adjustment . â€¢ On boats with stepped hulls , it may be possible to mount the transducer on the step . Do not mount the transducer on the transom behind a step to avoid popping the transducer out of the water at higher speeds ; the transducer must remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar signal . â€¢ If the transom is behind the propeller ( s ) , it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence , and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered ( see Trolling Motor Transducer Installation ) . â€¢ The Side Imaging transducer must NOT have anything obstructing the â€˜ view â€™ of the side looking beams , i.e . nothing can be in the line of sight of these beams ( not a hull , motor , or other transducer , etc ) . To mount the transducer bracket to the boat : 1 . Remove the transducer mounting template from this manual . See Appendix A for the Transducer Mounting Template . Level 15 â€� ( 380 mm ) from prop ( s ) 2 . Hold the template on the transom of the boat in the location where the transducer will be installed . Align the template vertically , matching the lower edge of the transom with the bottom corner of the template . If your propeller moves clockwise as the boat moves forward , mount the transducer on the starboard side , and use the bottom left corner of the template . If your propeller moves counter - clockwise as the boat moves forward , mount the transducer on the port side , and use the bottom right corner of the template . 3 . Using a pencil or punch , mark the three mounting holes on the transom . Do not mark or drill any other holes at this time . 19

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 20 Attaching the Bracket 4 . Using a 5 / 32 " ( 4.0 mm ) bit , drill the three holes to a depth of approximately 1 " ( 25 mm ) . On fiberglass hulls , it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating . Use a marine - grade silicone sealant to fill the drilled holes . 5 . Align the metal mounting bracket with the mounting holes . The center slot should be above the two outer slots . ( This bracket and all other hardware supplied is top quality stainless steel for maximum strength and corrosion protection . ) Insert the three 1 " ( 25 mm ) flat head wood screws into the drilled holes , but do not completely tighten . To attach the pivot to the transducer : 1 . Attach the pivot to the transducer body , using the two 1 / 4 " - 20 x 5 / 8 " ( 16 mm ) machine screws , toothed washers , and square nuts . The toothed washers must fit on the inside of the transducer knuckle , between the pivot and the knuckle . The square nuts will be prevented from rotating by the pocket in the back of the pivot . An Allen wrench is provided which fits all the 1 / 4 " - 20 screws , but do not fully tighten the screws at this time . 3 4 2 1 1 Insert the square nuts 2 Toothed Washer Attach the Pivot 3 Pivot 4 Machine Screw To mount the transducer pivot assembly to the bracket : 1 . Slide the assembled transducer into the metal bracket from the bottom , aligning the large hole at the top of the bracket with the hole in the pivot . 2 . Insert the headed pin through the pivot holes in the bracket and pivot . The headed pin can be inserted from either side of the bracket . 3 . Place the nylon washer over the opposite end of the headed pin . Place the stainless washer over the 1 / 4 " - 20 x 5 / 8 " ( 16 mm ) screw threads , then insert into the opposite end of the headed pin and finger tighten only . The screw has a thread locking compound on the threads to prevent loosening , and should not be fully tightened until all adjustments are made . 20

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 21 NOTE : The running position of the transducer is now completely adjustable . Subsequent adjustment may be necessary to tweak the installation after high speed testing . 5 1 2 3 4 1 Screw 2 Headed Pin 3 Allen Wrench 4 Nylon Washer 5 Stainless Washer To adjust the running position of the transducer : The transducer mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment , while the pivot bolt allows angular adjustment . These adjustments will help reduce cavitation . Initially , adjust the transducer as described in the following paragraphs . Further adjustment may be necessary to refine the installation after high - speed testing . Cavitation that will cause Normal Cavitation erratic sonar readings 1 . First , adjust the pivot angle of the transducer body , so it is parallel with the length of the hull of the boat . 2 . Fully tighten the two pivot screws , using the supplied Allen wrench . Access to the pivot screws is provided by the lower holes in the side of the mounting bracket . It may be necessary to re - tighten the pivot bolt after initial use as the plastic may still be conforming to the pressure from the lock washers . 3 . Adjust the height of the assembly so the face of the transducer is 1 / 8 " ( 3 mm ) to 1 / 4 " ( 6 mm ) beneath the bottom of the transom , and fully tighten the three mounting screws . 4 . In order to gain access to the mounting screws , the transducer assembly must be pivoted up in the bracket as shown . Be careful not to alter the running angle as some force is necessary to pivot the assembly . Tighten the Mounting Screws 5 . If access to the top mounting hole is not possible due to the selected height of the transducer , fully tighten the two lower screws , then simply remove the headed pivot pin and the transducer assembly , and tighten the top screw , then reassemble . 6 . Confirm that the pivot angle has not changed and that all mounting screws are fully tightened . 21

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 22 To route the transom transducer cable : The transducer cable has a low profile connector that must be routed to the point where the control head is mounted . There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head will be installed . The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat . NOTE : Your boat may have a pre - existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable . 1 . Unplug the other end of the transducer cable from the control head . Make sure that the cable is long enough to accommodate the planned route by running the cable over the transom . CAUTION ! Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable , and try not to damage the cable insulation . Route the cable as far as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference . If the cable is too short , extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50 ' ( 15 m ) . For assistance , contact the Customer Resource Center at www.humminbird.com or call 1 - 800 - 633 - 1468 for more information . NOTE : Since the transducer may need to pivot up to 90 Â° in the bracket if it strikes an object , make sure there is sufficient cable slack to accommodate this motion . It is best to route the cable to the side of the transducer so the cable will not be damaged by the rotation of the transducer . 2 . If you will be routing the cable through a hole in the transom , drill a 5 / 8 " diameter ( 16 mm ) hole above the waterline . Route the cable through this hole , then fill the hole with marine - grade silicone sealant and proceed to the next step immediately . Routing the Cable 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 " ( 3.5 mm ) holes , then fill both holes with marine - grade silicone sealant . Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and attach with two # 8 x 5 / 8 " ( 16 mm ) wood screws . 4 . Route and secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom ; drill one 9 / 64 " dia . ( 3.5 mm ) x 5 / 8 " deep ( 16 mm ) hole , then fill hole with marine - grade silicone sealant , then attach the cable clamp using a # 8 x 5 / 8 " ( 16 mm ) screw . 5 . Plug the other end of the transducer cable back into the control head connection holder . Storing Excess Cable NOTE : If there is excess cable that needs to be gathered at one location ( as shown in the illustration ) , dress the cable routed from both directions so that a single loop is left extending from the storage location . Doubling the cable up from this point , form the cable into a coil . Storing excess cable using this method can reduce electronic interference . 22

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 23 Test and Finish the Transducer Installation When you have installed both the control head , the transducer , and accessories and have routed all the cables , you must perform a final test before locking the transducer in place . Testing should be performed with the boat in the water , although you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat out of the water . 1 . Press the POWER / LIGHT key once to turn the control head on . There will be an audible chirp when the key is pressed correctly . If the unit does not power - up , make sure that the connector holder is fully seated and that power is available . 2 . If all connections are correct and power is available , the control head will enter Normal operation . If no transducer is detected ( or one is not connected ) , the unit will go into Simulator mode and will indicate this by displaying the word Simulator on the control head display . NOTE : The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection . 3 . If the bottom is visible on - screen with a digital depth readout , the unit is working properly . Make sure that the boat is in water greater than 2 ft ( . 6 m ) but less than the depth capability of the unit , and that the transducer is fully submerged , since the sonar signal cannot pass through air . 4 . If the unit is working properly , gradually increase the boat speed to test high - speed performance . If the unit functions well at low speeds but begins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds , the transducer requires adjustment . Angling the rear of the transducer downward and / or lowering the transducer farther into the water will help achieve depth readings at high speeds . If the left side of the fish arch is longer than the right side , then the back of the transducer is angled too far downward . If the right side of the fish arch is longer than the left side , then the back of the transducer is angled too far upwards . NOTE : Due to the wide variety of boat hulls , it may not always be possible to get symmetrical fish arches and high speed depth readings at the same time . NOTE : It is often necessary to make several incremental transducer adjustments before optimum high speed performance is achieved . Once you have reached a consistently good sonar signal at the desired speeds , you are ready to lock down the transducer settings . 5 . Mark the transducer bracket location on the transom with a pencil , then pop up the bracket to reveal the mounting screws . Tighten the stainless steel mounting bracket screws to secure in place . Hand - tighten only ! 23

NOTE : Please read all instructions carefully and completely before beginning the installation process . NOTE : When drilling holes in fiberglass hulls , it is best to start with a smaller bit and use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating . NOTE : Your transducer may not look exactly like the transducer shown in the illustrations , but it will mount in exactly the same way . Transom Transducer Installation ( 1157c Combo models only ) If you will be installing a transom mounted transducer , use the procedures in this section . There are several procedures you will have to perform in order to install a transom - mounted transducer . They are : â€¢ Locate transducer mounting location â€¢ Prepare the mounting location â€¢ Assemble the transducer and perform initial mounting â€¢ Route the transducer cable â€¢ Connect the transducer cable â€¢ Perform a final test of the transom transducer installation . 24

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 25 1 . Locating the transducer mounting location NOTE : If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or cavitation noise , and you have a single layer fiberglass hull , In - hull installation is an option . See Inside the Hull Transducer Installation for more information . Turbulence : You must first 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 . Consider the following to find the best location with the least amount of turbulence : â€¢ As the boat moves through the water , turbulence is generated by the weight of the boat and the thrust of the propeller ( s ) - either clockwise or counter - clockwise . This turbulent water is normally confined to areas immediately aft of ribs , strakes or rows of rivets on the bottom of the boat , and in the immediate area of the propeller ( s ) . Clockwise propellers create more turbulence on the port side . On outboard or inboard / outboard boats , it is best to locate the transducer at least 15 " to the side of the propeller ( s ) .

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 26 â€¢ On boats with stepped hulls , it may be possible to mount the transducer on the step . Do not mount the transducer on the transom behind a step to avoid popping the transducer out of the water at higher speeds ; the transducer must remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar signal . Deadrise Angle â€¢ If the transom is behind the propeller ( s ) , it may be impossible to find an area clear from turbulence , and a different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered , such as an Inside the Hull Transducer ( see Inside the Hull Transducer Installation ) . â€¢ If you plan to trailer your boat , do not mount the transducer too close to trailer bunks or rollers to avoid moving or damaging the transducer during loading and unloading of the boat . â€¢ If high speed operation is critical , you may want to consider using an In - Hull transducer instead of this Transom Mount transducer . NOTE : The hydrodynamic shape of your transducer allows it to point straight down without deadrise adjustment . NOTE : If you cannot find a transom mount location that will work for your high - speed application , find an In - Hull Transducer by contacting our Customer Resource Center at either 1 - 800 - 633 - 1468 or by visiting our website at www.humminbird.com . 2 . Preparing the Mounting Location In this procedure , you will determine the mounting location and drill two mounting holes , using the transducer mounting bracket as a guide . 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 have selected . Align the bracket horizontally , using the level ; make sure that the lower corner of the bracket does not protrude past the bottom of the hull , and there is at least 1 / 4 " clearance between the bottom of the bracket and the bottom of the transom for fiberglass boats , and 1 / 8 " clearance for aluminum boats . Positioning the Boat Hull Types Require Mounting Bracket Different Mounting Positions Level Level 1 / 4 â€� for fiberglass 1 / 8 â€� for aluminum 26
Page: 35

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 27 NOTE : If you have a flat - bottomed aluminum boat , some additional adjustment may be needed to accommodate the rivets on the bottom of the boat ( i.e . the gap may need to be a little smaller than 1 / 8 " ) . This will help you to avoid excessive turbulence at high speeds . NOTE : If your propeller moves clockwise ( in forward , as you're facing the stern of the boat from behind ) , mount the transducer on the starboard side , and align the bottom right corner of the mounting bracket with the bottom of the boat . If your propeller moves counter - clockwise ( in forward , as you're facing the stern of the boat from behind ) , mount the transducer on the port side , and align the bottom left corner of the mounting bracket with the bottom of the boat . Using the Mounting Bracket to Mark the Initial Drill Holes 3 . Continue to hold the bracket on the transom of the boat , and use a pencil or marker to mark where to drill the two mounting holes . Third Hole Mark the drill holes near the top of each slot , making sure that your mark is centered in the slot . NOTE : The third hole should not be drilled until the angle and height of the transducer is finalized , which you will not do until a later procedure . 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 â€� bit , drill the two holes only to a depth of approximately 1 â€� . NOTE : On fiberglass hulls , it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating . Fourth Hole Mark Initial Drill Holes 3 . Assembling the Transducer and Initial Mounting In this procedure , you will assemble the transducer using the hardware provided , then mount it and make adjustments to its position without locking it in place . NOTE : You will initially assemble the transducer and the pivot arm by matching the two ratchets to a numbered position on the transducer knuckle . Further adjustments may be necessary . 1a . If you already know your transom angle , refer to the chart below for the initial position to use to set the ratchets . If your transom is angled at 14 degrees ( a common transom angle for many boats ) use position 1 for the ratchets . In either case , go to step 2 . or . . .

If you do not know your transom angle , measure it using a plumb line ( weighted nylon string or monofilament line ) exactly 12 inches long . Hold the top of the plumb line against the top of the transom with your finger , and wait until the line hangs straight down . Using a ruler , measure the distance from the bottom of the plumb line to the back of the transom , then use the chart . 27

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 31 4 . Routing the Cable The transducer cable has a low profile connector , which must be routed to the point where the control head is mounted . There 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 . NOTE : Your boat may have a pre - existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable . 1 . Unplug the other end of the transducer cable from the control head . Make sure that the cable is long enough to accommodate the planned route by running the cable over the transom . CAUTION ! Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable , and try not to damage the cable insulation . Route the cable as far as possible from any VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference . If the cable is too short , extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50 ' . For assistance , contact the Customer Resource Center at www.humminbird.com or call 1 - 800 - 633 - 1468 for more information . NOTE : The transducer can pivot up to 90 degrees in the bracket . Allow enough slack in the cable for this movement . It is best to route the cable to the side of the transducer so the transducer will not damage the cable during movement . 2a . If you are routing the cable over the transom of the boat , secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom , drilling 9 / 64 " diameter holes for # 8 x 5 / 8 " wood screws , then skip directly to procedure 5 , Connecting the Cable . or . . . Routing the Cable 2b . If you will be routing the cable through a hole in the transom , drill a 5 / 8 " diameter hole above the waterline . Route the cable through this hole , then fill the hole with marine - grade silicone sealant and proceed to the next step immediately . 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 . Place the escutcheon plate over the cable hole and attach with two # 8 x 5 / 8 " wood screws . 4 . Route and secure the cable by attaching the cable clamp to the transom ; drill one 9 / 64 " diameter x 5 / 8 " deep hole , then fill hole with marine - grade silicone sealant , then attach the cable clamp using a # 8 x 5 / 8 " screw . Storing Excess Cable NOTE : If there is excess cable that needs to be gathered at one location ( as shown in the illustration ) , dress the cable routed from both directions so that a single loop is left extending from the storage location . Doubling the cable up from this point , form the cable into a coil . Storing excess cable using this method can reduce electronic interference . 31

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 32 5 . Connecting the Cable Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate terminal slot . The cable connectors are labeled , and there are corresponding labels on the cable holder on the rear of the control head . The slots are keyed to prevent reversed installation , so be careful not to force the connector into the holder . Refer to your manual and / or control head installation guide for the correct procedure for installing the cable connectors to the control head . 1 . Plug the other end of the transducer cable back into the control head connection holder . Your control head is now ready for operation . 6 . Test 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 . Testing should be performed with the boat in the water , although you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat out of the water . 1 . Press POWER once to turn the control head on . If the unit does not power up , make sure that the connector holder is fully seated in the receptacle and that power is available . 2 . If all connections are correct and power is available , the Humminbird Â® control head will enter Normal operation . 3 . If the bottom is visible on - screen with a digital depth readout , the unit is working properly . Make sure that the boat is in water greater than 2 ' but less than the depth capability of the unit , and that the transducer is fully submerged , since the sonar signal cannot pass through air . NOTE : The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection . 4 . If the unit is working properly , gradually increase the boat speed to test high - speed performance . If the unit functions well at low speeds , but begins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds , the transducer requires adjustment . 5 . If you have the correct angle set on the transducer , yet lose a bottom reading at high speed , adjust the height and the running angle in small increments to give you the ideal transducer position for your boat . First , adjust the height in small increment . NOTE : The deeper the transducer is in the water , the more likely that a rooster tail of spray will be generated at high speeds , so make sure that the transducer is as high as it can be and still be submerged in the water . If you are still not getting good high speed readings , you may need to disassemble the transducer mounting assembly and re - position the ratchets . If you do change the transducer position , re - trace the position of the mounting bracket before proceeding . NOTE : It is often necessary to make several incremental transducer adjustments before optimum high speed performance is achieved . Due to the wide variety of boat hulls , however , it is not always possible to obtain high speed depth readings . 6 . Once you have reached a consistently good sonar signal at the desired speeds , you are ready to lock down the transducer settings . Force the pivot to the Up position to gain access to the mounting screws , then re - align the mounting bracket against the transom of the boat to match the traced silhouette . Check the bracket position with the level again to make sure it is still level , then mark the third mounting hole using a pencil or marker . Unscrew and remove the mounting screws and the transducer assembly and set aside . 32

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 33 7 . Drill the third mounting hole , using a 5 / 32 â€� drill bit . Use a marine - grade silicone sealant to fill all three drilled mounting holes , especially if the holes penetrated the transom wall . NOTE : On fiberglass hulls , it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating . Fully Tighten All Three Mounting Screws 8 . Re - position the transducer assembly against the transom of the boat , then hand - install all three screws . Make sure that the transducer location and the pivot angle have not changed , then fully tighten all three mounting screws . Snap the pivot back down . If you have performed the preceding procedures correctly , the transducer should be level and at the right height for optimal operation . Locking Down the Transducer ( Optional ) NOTE : You have the option to lock down the Two Piece Kick Up bracket if you do not want the transducer to kick up . Please be aware , however , that the transducer can be damaged if it is locked down and it strikes debris in the water . Marking the Fourth Drill Hole 1 . To lock down the transducer , trace the position of the mounting for Optional Lock Down bracket . Force the pivot to the Up position to gain access to the Third Hole mounting screws , then re - align the mounting bracket against the transom of the boat to match the traced silhouette . Check the bracket position with the level again to make sure it is still level , then mark the fourth mounting hole using a pencil or marker . Unscrew and remove the mounting screws and the transducer assembly and set aside . 2 . Drill the fourth mounting hole , using a 9 / 64 " drill bit . Use a marine grade silicone sealant to fill all four drilled mounting holes , especially if the holes penetrate the transom wall . Fourth Hole Mark Initial Drill Holes 33

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 34 Fully Tighten All Three 3 . Re - position the transducer assembly against the transom of the Mounting Screws boat , then hand install the first three screws ( two on the outside edges and one in the 3rd mounting hole ) . Make sure that the transducer location and the pivot angle have not changed , then fully tighten all three mounting screws . Hand - tighten only ! Snap the pivot back down . Install # 8 x 1 " wood screw into the 4th 4 . hole to lock down the pivot arm . Hand - tighten only ! Inside the Hull Transducer Installation ( 1157c Combo models only ) NOTE : Do NOT install the 1197c Side Imaging transducer inside the hull , as the side looking beams CANNOT penetrate the hull . Only the 1157c Dual Beam PLUS â„¢ transducer can be mounted inside the hull . If you choose to mount your transducer inside the hull of your boat , perform the procedures in this section . In - hull mounting generally produces good results in single thickness fiberglass - hulled boats . Humminbird Â® 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 , as well as the installation position and process . 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 . Do not use five - minute epoxy , as it has a tendency to cure before all the air bubbles can be purged , thus reducing signal strength . NOTE : In - hull mounting requires an installed and operational control head . 34

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 35 NOTE : The integral temperature probe will not work with in - hull mounting , so you may either want to consider purchasing a Temperature / Speed accessory , a Temp . Sensor , or obtaining a different transducer . Humminbird Â® offers a transducer exchange program to swap the NEW and UNASSEMBLED transducer , accompanied by mounting hardware , for one without an integral temperature probe . Call the Humminbird Â® Customer Resource Center at 1 - 800 - 633 - 1468 for details , or visit www.humminbird.com for more information . NOTE : Your transducer may not look exactly like the transducer shown in the illustrations , but it will mount in exactly the same way . â€¢ Locate transducer mounting location â€¢ Perform a trial installation â€¢ Route the transducer cable â€¢ Permanently mount the transducer . 1 . Determine the transducer mounting location Decide where to install the transducer on the inside of the hull . Consider the following to find the best location : â€¢ 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 . Stepped Hull Areas of Possible Turbulence Rivets Strakes Step Rib Transom Hull â€¢ 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 in order to remain in contact with the water at high speeds . 2 . Trial installation You will not be able to adjust the mounting after an inside the hull transducer is installed . It is best , therefore , to perform a trial installation first that includes running the boat at various speeds , in order to determine the best mounting area before permanently mounting the transducer . 1 . Plug the transducer into the control head , then power up the control head . When the control head detects a functioning transducer , it will automatically enter Normal operating mode . 35

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 36 2 . View the sonar signal at its best by holding the transducer over the side , immersed in the water , so that it is pointing straight down over a known flat bottom . Use the display to benchmark against the sonar signal that will be detected once the transducer is placed in the hull . 3 . Place the transducer body face down at the identified mounting location inside the hull , with the end that has the mounting knuckle pointed towards the bow of the boat . Preferred Mounting Area 4 . 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 . The transducer cannot transmit through air , and the water purges any air from between the transducer and the hull , and fills any voids in the coarse fiberglass surface . 5 . View the sonar signal on the display and compare against what you observed in Step 2 , making sure that the boat is in the same location as it was during your observations in Step 2 . If the results are comparable , move on to Step 6 . Otherwise , locate a new position in the hull and repeat Steps 3 through 5 . 6 . Run the boat at various speeds and water depths while observing the screen on the control head . If depth performance is required , test the transducer in water at the desired depth . If the performance is acceptable , move on to Step 7 . If the performance is not acceptable , repeat Steps 3 through 6 . 7 . Once you have determined the best mounting location using the above steps , mark the position of the transducer . 3 . Route the cable 1 . Once the mounting location is determined and you have marked the position of the transducer , route the cable from the transducer to the control head . 36

531617 - 1_A - 1197c_ManE.qxp 11 / 6 / 2007 4 : 36 AM Page 37 4 . Permanently mount the transducer 1 . Make sure the position of the transducer is marked . 2 . You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this procedure . 3 . Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface . If the surface is excessively rough , it may be necessary to sand the area to create a smooth mounting surface . 4 . Slowly and thoroughly mix an ample quantity of two - part slow cure epoxy . Avoid trapping air bubbles . 5 . Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy . 6 . Press the transducer into place with a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air from underneath , keeping the end of the transducer that has the mounting knuckle pointed forward , towards the bow of the boat . NOTE : Proper operation requires the end of the transducer that has the mounting knuckle to face towards the bow of the boat . 7 . Weight the transducer so that it will not move while the epoxy is curing . NOTE : When the epoxy cures , no water is necessary inside the hull . 8 . If you unplugged the transducer cable at the beginning of this procedure , plug it back into the control head . NOTE : Neither water , spilled gasoline , nor oil will affect the performance of the transducer . 37

The display does NOT show a literal 3 - dimensional representation of what is under the water . Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time . As both the boat and the targets ( fish ) may be moving , the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected , not exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display . Real Time Sonar ( RTS Â® ) Window A Real Time Sonar ( RTS Â® ) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only . The RTS Â® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom , structure and fish that are within the transducer beam . The RTS Â® Window plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return . ( See Sonar Menu : RTS Â® Window ) . The Wide RTS Â® Window The Narrow RTS Â® Window indicates the sonar intensity indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph . through the use of colors . Red The length of the plotted return indicates a strong return and provides an indication of blue indicates a weak return . whether the return is weak or The depth of the sonar return is strong . The depth of the sonar indicated by the vertical return is indicated by the placement of the return on the vertical placement of the return display depth scale . on the display depth scale . 48

The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display . A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display . A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display . Rocky Bottoms have a broken , random appearance . NOTE : A sloping bottom will be represented as a thicker line across the display . Harder bottoms typically will be displayed with red and softer bottoms typically will be displayed with blue . The sonar returns from the bottom , structure and fish can be represented as either Structure ID Â® or WhiteLine Â® . See Sonar Menu : Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view . Structure ID Â® represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in red . 49

The images you see on the display are produced using sonar technology . The special transducer produces three distinct beams â€“ one beam facing down and two beams pointing out to the side . These â€œ side beams â€� are aimed at right angles to the path of the boat and , unlike the â€œ down beam â€� which provide conical coverage , the side beams provide coverage which is very thin front to back , yet very wide top to bottom . The narrow aspect ( front to back ) of the beam illuminates a small strip of the bottom perpendicular to the direction of the boat . Each time the unit â€œ pings â€� , a strip of data representing all the echoes received by the transducer , are put together on the display to form the image that you see . The rows closest to the boat icon at the top of the display are the most recent sonar data . The information is scrolled down the screen as new data , drawn at the top of the screen , becomes available . 455 kHz provides maximum coverage with 180 Â° total beam width Side ImagingCoverage 455kHz - Maximum 86 Â° 86 Â° 455kHz 455kHz 20 Â° 200kHz 60 Â° 50kHz 180 Â° Total Coverage The side beams can be operated at one of two frequencies : 455 kHz or 800 kHz . Selecting 800 kHz produces the sharpest image while selecting 455 kHz provides greater bottom coverage area . It is important to understand that when the boat turns , the strips to one side will begin to overlap and the strips on the other side will fan out , providing some distortion to the image . Side beams look out 360 feet , with a depth limitation of 100 to 150 feet , depending on the contour of the bottom and when the side beam frequency selection is set for 455 kHz . Please see the Side Imaging Sonar Tutorial at www.humminbird.com for a more detailed explanation . Your Side Imaging transducer also provides traditional sonar imaging at 200 / 83 kHz . 800 kHz provides highest resolution with 130 Â° total beam width Side Imaging 55 Â° 55 Â° 20 Â° 800kHz 800kHz 200kHz 60 Â° 83kHz 130 Â° Total Coverage 51

For Side Imaging rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud and sand because of their relative density . Upward slopes that face the transducer reflect son a number of easily recognizable features on the Side Imaging display that allow for accurate interpretation of bottom contour and structure , includin 1 10 Depth - water depth ; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow . 2 Temperature - water surface temperature 3 Speed - if a Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached , the 1100 Series â„¢ can display the speed of the boat , and can keep a triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled . 4 Course - the current direction the boat is traveling measured in degrees from North . 5 Voltage 6 Bottom Return 7 Topography Changes 9 8 The water column shows the relative depth of the water under the boat at a given time . Variations in the width of the water column show variations in the distance to the bottom as the boat passes over . 9 Shadows result from a lack of reflected sonar from a particular area , and can be more valuable for interpretation than the sonar reflected by the object itself . Use shadows to help you see the image in 3 dimensions , oriented in space . You can gain insight into the actual shape of an object , or the depth to 1 2 which it has sunk into the bottom , through shadows on the display . 10 Side Imaging Range 11 Boat Icon 52
