Humminbird ID Sixty, Operation Manual

  The ID Sixty comes with a high-speed, 24-degree transducer as standard equipment. This 
transducer can be mounted on the transom or inside the hull, as described in section Two later in 
this manual. You should familiarize yourself with this material before actually beginning 
transducer installation.  
  If you find the standard transducer doesn’t meet your needs, you can exchange it, unused, for 
one of he following models by returning it to your local distributor, or by calling Hummingbird’s 
Customer Support Hotline  
 
 

ACCESSORIES 

 
  For installation on a larger boat where the transducer is located well away from the ID Sixty, 
Hummingbird offers a 10-foot x 20 foot extension cable for the transducer.

INSTALLING THE ID SIXTY 

 
  Before mounting the ID Sixty control head, gather the parts you need: ID Sixty, mounting 
hardware kit, power cable, and transducer cable. If the transducer cable is not long enough for 
your installation, see “Accessories” earlier in this manual for information on the EC-6-10 foot 
extension cable. 
 
  Next, consider where to mount the ID Sixty. To choose the best location, consider the following: 
 

• 

The mounting area should allow at least 2” clearance around the back of the unit for 
connection, air flow, and ease of removal. 

• 

Any VHF radio you have may incur some degree of interference with the depth sounder. 
Hummingbird depth sounders are designed to minimize this interference, although it is best to 
route the transducer cable and antenna cable as far away from each other as possible, for 
example, on opposite sides of the boat. 

 
After you have determined the best location for your ID Sixty, pr0ceed with the following 
instructions. 
 
1.  Drill a 3.5’ hole to accommodate the control head. 
 
NOTE: 3.5” hole saws are readily available at most hardware stores. If you do not want to but a 
saw for this purpose, tool rental stores or marine dealers may be another source. 
 
2.  From the front, place the unit into the 3.5” hole.
