How to install a Hummingbird Side Imaging Transducer on an Aluminum Boat

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens youtube.com/post/UgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY… recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Thx for doing this vid! I fished with Matt last June... while we had a tough day, the things I learned from him are priceless!

Thanks Matt, I reinstalled yesterday and tested today. Images are better and Autochart stopped losing bottom and is charting perfectly even at 38mph.

Great video. Watched a few of these and a bunch of yours over and over. Pretty basic install, just need to take your time. Thank you.

I set my transducer up, just like you guys explained on the video. Truly amazed how the transducer is working. Awesome video. Thanks guys.

Confused, this goes completely against almost all the installation instructions giving by Humminbird?

In,the video you mentioned installing a high speed ducker too, did you install and angle it the same way

So, I notice the mounting block on that Lund is right down on the bottom edge of the transom...Isn't the water deflecting on the block causing a little turbulence? And won't that cause the "bubbles" to run across the bottom of the transducer?

EPIC" from Idaho! THANKS MATT!

How close can you put two transducer s, Humminbird SI and a Lowrance transducer, opposite sides of the main motor? I already have a Lowrance transducer on the right side, and a kicker on the left of the main motor. How much interference would the kicker do to the Humminbird SI/DI ?

I’ve got a couple questions, just got a helix 7 si. In the directions it says the transducer needs to be at least 15 inches either side of the propeller. Mine came with a plastic transom mount which in the directions it says to place 1/8 inch from the bottom of the boat, the transducer the man clips into the mount putting it almost 1 1/2 inches under the boat. Did Humminbird just send a general set of directions?

Nice video, how about this installation on a high speed reading depth? Still perfect no problem with the depth showing?

Excellent video! I'm not sure if I agree of drilling through the board and the hull other than the two screws that are designed to hold the board to the hull. I didn't drill through the hull for the transducer mounting bracket and I hope it is solid enough.

Here can I find those plates at? I have a Lund Deep V 18 foot currently never came with those mounting plates. Plus I just purchased the Lowrance 3 in 1 for the Elite T12 what do you suggest for the angle of that transducer? Everything I have seen so far is to mount it level about 1/2 inch below the boat surface any help would be appreciated.

I have a helix five with its transducer should upgrade to the transducer you are installing or just rejust it to get better picture

Why place a mounting block on the hull if you are screwing all the way through it into the hull?

great video thank you

Will the same system of transducer installation work on rib or inflatable boat?

Does it make a difference which way the prop turns ?

Thanks mine was throwing heck of roster tail
