Universal Sonar
Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar transducer system. Universal Sonar is a 2D sonar transducer with a
temperature sensor that is integrated into the lower unit of the trolling motor. It has an operating frequency of 83/200 kHz. Connecting
this transducer to a compatible fish finder gives you a 2D sonar view of what is happening directly below your trolling motor. The
integrated design protects the transducer from underwater hazards, and prevents tangles and damage to the transducer cables.
All Universal Sonar motors are equipped with an internal bonding wire, incorrect rigging will cause sonar interference and can damage
your trolling motor, electronics and other boat accessories. To minimize trolling motor interference, ensure that the fish finder and trolling
motor are powered by separate batteries. Please refer to the Battery & Wiring Installation and Motor Wiring Diagram sections of this
manual for correct rigging instructions.
