Bundle up the extra transducer cable and power cable wire and lightly 

wrap a wire tie around each of them to keep it organized. DO NOT CUT THE 

EXCESS WIRES ON THE TRANSDUCER CABLE TO SHORTEN THEM. THIS 

WILL RUIN THE QUALITY OF THE SIGNAL TO THE TRANSDUCER. We also 

recommend that you attach the wires to something in the kayak to keep 

them from sliding around (like the sail mast base or scupper). If you have a 

large bundle, you can link the wire ties together to form a bigger loop. DO 

NOT PUT EXCESSIVE TENSION ON THE WIRE TIE. IT SHOULD ONLY HOLD 

ENOUGH PRESSURE TO HOLD THE WIRE IN PLACE.

 

The terminal cap can be used to put over fishfinder power cable plug to 

prevent corrosion.

12V Battery Charging Instructions: Plug the battery in to the battery char-

ger making sure the tab on the

male pigtail aligns with the clip on the female pigtail. Plug the battery charger 

in to an electrical outlet. If the light on the charger turns red the battery is in 

need of charging and should remain plugged in until the light turns green. A 

green light means the battery is charged and the charger has switched to 

trickle charge. At this point it is ready to be unplugged from the socket and 

used.
