Trolling Motor Transducer Installation
If you want to install the transducer on a trolling
motor, use this procedure. Several styles of the
transducer are compatible with trolling motor
mounting. If you have a trolling motor bracket,
refer to the separate installation instructions that
are included with the bracket.
NOTE:
After trolling motor transducer installation, please perform the final
testing and then finalize the installation (see
Test and Finish the Transducer
Installation
).
Trolling Motor Transducer Options
If you don’t have a trolling motor transducer, there are several options:
• You may purchase a Trolling Motor Adapter kit that will allow you to
mount the transducer on the trolling motor.
• You may also exchange your NEW and UNASSEMBLED transducer
(with mounting hardware included) for a trolling motor transducer.
There are also several transducer switches available that support the
following configurations:
•
Two control heads with one transducer
•
Two transducers with one control head.

Test and Finish the Transducer Installation
When you have installed both the control head, the transom transducer, and
accessories and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test
before locking the transducer in place. Testing should be performed with the
boat in the water, although you can initially confirm basic operation with the
boat out of the water.
NOTE:
If you have installed an in-hull mount transducer, this procedure does not
apply, as the transducer is already locked in place.
1. Press POWER once to turn the control head on. There will be an
audible chirp when the button is pressed correctly. If the unit does
not power-up, make sure that the connector holder is fully seated
and that power is available.
2. If all connections are correct and power is available, the control
head will enter Normal operation. If no transducer is detected (or
one is not connected), the unit will go into Simulator mode and will
indicate this by displaying the word Simulator on the control head
display.
NOTE:
The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer
detection.
3. If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the
unit is working properly. Make sure that the boat is in water greater
than 2 ft (.6 m) but less than the depth capability of the unit, and
that the transducer is fully submerged, since the sonar signal
cannot pass through air.
