Hi guys, I got this older Hummingbird Fish Finder. I believe its the Hummingbird 100 Wide. What do I need to get it working. There are two cables that hook into the screen, one is connected to the sensor and the other is just a wire. Where does this wire go? To the battery? What kind of battery? Ill post some pictures in awhile so you know what im talking about. Thank you guys... and gals.

Download the manual for your model.

The other cable should have 2 wires in it for 12 vdc power.

Thank you Flying. I have an idea of how to do it now but I only see the one cable. I put up the picture.

I wonder who did that?!?
Anyways, there are 2 lines inside of that 1 line you are talking about. Splice it back around 3 inches, purchase some of these,

Good Luck and I hope no one deletes these.




It's supposed to be a 12 volt battery.

Thank you Murrieta, but still no pictures. But the way you explained it is perfect. Now I get it, so from that one cable there are two, perfect. But im pretty sure those pictures would still help. Can you see the pictures when you post them? I dont think its my computer because I went on my phone and they dont show up there either, just a box saying "This image or video has been moved or deleted. Photobucket". Thank you VERY much for ALL the help.
