Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor
NOTICE
You must secure the transducer cable to the shaft or other
secure location during installation. Transducer cable wire
damage or damage to the cable jacket can cause transducer
failure.
1
Use the enclosed knob
À
or mounting bolt to attach the
transducer
Á
to the trolling motor mount bracket
Â
.
2
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 through a switched or unswitched 10
to 35 Vdc power source.
Adjusting the Transducer Angle on the Trolling Motor
The transducer should be tilted downward for optimal imagery.
1
With the transducer mounted on the trolling motor, tilt the
transducer downward between 15
À
and 30 degrees

Connecting the Transducer to Power and the
Garmin Marine Network
Before you can connect the device to the Garmin Marine
Network and power, you must mount the device on the trolling
motor.
WARNING
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line
fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product
damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse

10 network port expander, connect the network
cable to a port on the GMS 10.
• To connect the network cable on a boat not equipped with
a GMS 10 network port expander, connect the network
cable to the network or the Panoptix port on your
chartplotter.
Cable Routing Grommets
When routing cables through your boat, it may be necessary to
drill holes to route the cables. Cable routing grommets can be
used to cover cable installation holes. The grommets do not
create a waterproof seal. If necessary, apply a marine sealant
after installation to weatherproof around the grommet and the
