Lunatic Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 does anyone have the install manual? i have the operations manual but nothing for the installation. the website does not have anything but the operations manuals to download. its pretty straight forward but im somewhat boggled on the mounting hardware,seems like id be drilling unnessesary holes for the bracket.

Lape0019 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 The install is straight forward but what issues do your foresee having? I just installed a 561 on the bow of my boat and a 788 on my dads console. If I remember correctly, I pre drilled 4 holes for the base mount on the dash and now and 2 holes for the transducer in my dads. I think one would do on the transducer but I would prefer not to mess with their recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 You really don't need installation instructions.. Can't mess up any of the wires because the ends are all different and only fit one way in the locking mechanism that installs into the base.. Super simple.

Lunatic Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 its the brackets for the transducer, the top peice has the average 2 screws then theres a 3rd screw for the bracket thats apart of the transducer that requires one screw. by usuing that one screw that whole other peice seems useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Do you have the proper kit to install the transducer? After looking at the Humminbird website, it looks like you need MHX XNT. http://ca.humminbird.com/products/460925?product_id=e76c174b6c9a0ca4df401e63f9b47865 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdougy Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) The third hole is to be used if you want to LOCK your transducer down and not have the capabality to allow it to free float while loading or driving. I have the 597 model and will check the box for the install instructions, as I just installed it this spring. Checked and I do have install booklet Edited June 25, 2013 by mcdougy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
