User manual HUMMINBIRD 385CI COMBO KAYAK

[. . . ] Pass the cables through the 1" hole, through the mounting base, and out of the top of the mounting bracket (Figure 5). Using needle-nose pliers, break out the tabs on the rear of the mounting base (Figure 6). 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. [. . . ] Routing the cables under the mounting bracket provides maximum weather protection; this may not be feasible, however, if the area under the control head is inaccessible. In this case, route the cables through a hole at another location and cover with the supplied hole cover. â· The mounting surface should be stable enough to protect the control head from excessive wave shock and vibration, and should provide visibility while in operation. â· The mounting area should allow sufficient room for the unit to pivot and swivel freely, and for easy removal and installation (Figures 1 and 2). You must first determine the best location to mount the kayak transducer (Figure 7). â· Select a location inside the hull, in the center, lower part of the kayak, in which the area forward of this location is smooth, flat, and free of protrusions or ribs. â· The transducer should be mounted parallel to the water line so that it points straight down. â· Select a location that will allow the transducer cable to easily connect to the control head. Charge the battery, using the included battery charger, until it is fully charged. Charging usually requires 8 continuous hours but may vary depending on your configuration. The LED on the charger will turn green when the battery is fully charged. On some models, this light might appear closer to orange than yellow. When this happens, the battery is still charging properly and should be left to charge until the LED becomes green.

Do not pull on the battery or charger cables when you are trying to connect them to or disconnect them from the battery terminals. Push or pull gently on the spade terminals instead. If the connector feels tight, use a slight wiggling motion to slide the spade connector into place on the terminal (Figure 12). Once you have installed the control head, transducer, and power, and have routed all the cables, you should perform a final test. Testing should be performed with the boat in the water. Press POWER once to turn on the control head. If the unit does not power up, make sure that the connector holder is fully seated in the receptacle and that power is available. Prepare the mounting area and secure the transducer using the following procedures. [. . . ] If the cables must pass through a hole directly beneath the mounting bracket, mark and drill an additional 1" hole centered between the four mounting holes (Figure 3). Route the cables through the grommet, then press the grommet in place around the cables and into the 1" hole. With the dry bag resting on a stable surface, place the battery into the bottom of the dry bag (Figure 15). Pull the power cable out of the dry bag and set it to one side. [. . . ]
