by rotating up out of the metal spring bracket without harming the transducer, or your boat. 
The transducer can be re-engaged by simply rotating the transducer down and snapping it 
back in place. (See Figure A) 

 

 

 
B.  Inside Hull Mount- The high speed transducer can be mounted inside the hull (without pivot 

assembly) using the proper two-part epoxy, such as Humminbird’s epoxy kit. Even though 
there is some loss of signal in shooting through the hull, your LCR will perform well with this 
type of installation. You cannot shoot through the hull of an aluminum boat. 

C.  Trolling motor Mount- This type of transducer is not supplied with your LCR. It  is designed to 

mount on the foot of a trolling motor. You may exchange your un-used high speed  
transducer for a trolling motor transducer. Call the Humminbird Customer Service 
Department. 

D.  Bronz Thru-Hull Mount- This transducer is not supplied with your LCR but for an additional 

cost you may exchange your un-used high speed transducer for a bronz thru-hull. The bronz 
thru-hull transducer has a threaded stem which installs through a hole drilled in the boat hull, 
leaving the housing exposed under the boat. This type of  installation must be used for many 
boats with in-board engines, because there is no suitable location on the transom away from 
the noise and turbulence created by the prop. A bronz thru-hull transducer should be installed 
by qualified personnel only. 
The LCR will operate well at high speeds with a properly mounted transducer. Remember, a 
transducer will not work transmitting through air or through air bubbles. 
 
 
 
1.  TRANSOM MOUNTING PROCEDURE 

 
Step 1. 
MOUNTING LOCATION- It is important that the transducer be mounted on the transom where 
water flow is in constant contact with the transducer. You may wish to observe the rear of the 
boat while it is moving through the water to determine the best mounting location. 
 
Step 2. 
BRACKET  INSTALLATION (Aluminum Boats)- To install the metal bracket on an aluminum  boat 
locate the template on the transom between rows of rivets, or ribs that are on the bottom of the 
boat. Align the template so that  the bottom corner of the template nearest the center of the 
transom is on the bottom edge of the transom.
