Trolling –Transom Mounting:
If you are having trouble with the connection to your phone or 

tablet when trolling using your leash or you would like to try to 

troll the FishHunter at a faster rate, you can attach the unit to 

the back of the trailer mount of your fishing boat. Please follow 

the steps below: 

You are going to be attaching the FishHunter to the trailer 

mounting bracket on the back of your boat. 
You will want the FishHunter to be about 6-10 inches 

behind the back of the boat when you are finished, so it 

will float freely in the water. The actual length required will 

depend on the height of your trailer mounting bracket.

A higher bracket means you will need slightly more line. 
The goal here is to have the FishHunter sitting flat on the 

water with about 6 inches of line free after it is attached to 

boat. This will allow the FishHunter to sit flat in the water 

while you are trolling it.
