to the motor on the shaft, can prevent proper compass
calibration.
• To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on the
shaft. The compass does not work when you mount the
transducer on the motor.
Effective Forward Range
The transducer has an effective forward range of between five
and eight times the depth of the water. For example, in 3 m
(10 ft.) of water, the effective forward range is from 15 to 24 m
(from 50 to 80 ft.). Water conditions and bottom conditions affect
the actual range.
Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor
Shaft
Assembling the Trolling Motor Shaft Mount Hardware
Use the M6 screws
À
to attach the back of the trolling mount
bracket
Á
to the front of the trolling mount bracket
Â
around
the trolling motor shaft.
Installing the Transducer on the Trolling Motor Shaft
Mount
NOTICE
You must secure the transducer cable to the shaft or other
secure location during installation. Damage to the transducer
cable wire or the cable jacket can cause transducer failure.
You should mount the transducer as far from the motor as
possible. Placing the transducer too close to the motor can
prevent proper compass calibration. Without successful
compass calibration, the chartplotter does not display direction
and coverage area indicators, but all other features function
normally.
1
Use the enclosed knob
À
or mounting bolt to attach the
transducer
Á
to the trolling motor mount bracket
Â
.
2
Use cable ties to secure the transducer cable to the shaft or
other secure location.
3
Route the Ethernet cable to the network switch or to the back
of the chartplotter.
4
Route the power cable to a switched or unswitched
10-35 Vdc power source.
Adjusting the Transducer Angle on the Trolling Motor
Shaft
The transducer should be tilted downward for optimal imagery.
1
With the transducer mounted on the trolling motor shaft, tilt
the transducer downward between 15
À
and 30 degrees
Á
from the horizontal center of the trolling motor.
2
Tighten the knob or mounting bolt so the device does not
move during use.
