TROLLING MOTOR TRANSDUCER
Installation Guide
2. Route the transducer cable up the motor shaft and secure it using the cable ties provided (see
the
Routing the Cable
illustration).
NOTE:
Make sure to leave sufficient slack in the cable to allow for full movement and
retraction of the trolling motor during normal operation.
3. Route the transducer cable connector to the control head along the planned route (see the
Installation Preparation
section).
CAUTION!
Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or
flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric
grease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be
purchased separately from a general hardware or automotive store.

Connect the Cable
1. Connect the transducer cable to the transducer port on the control head.
The connector is keyed to prevent reversed installation, and insertion should be easy. Do not
force the connectors into the ports.
If the cable connector is round
, hand-tighten the screw nut to secure the cable connection.
Hand-tighten only!
NOTE:
See your control head installation guide for more details.

Test and Finish the Installation
When you have installed the trolling motor transducer and have routed all the cables, you must
perform a final test to verify installation. Testing should be performed with the boat in water deeper
than 2 feet. The transducer should be fully submerged because the sonar signal cannot pass
through air.
NOTE:
Make sure the trolling motor is reconnected to the power source before performing this
procedure.
1. Power on the control head.
2. Deploy the trolling motor, so that the transducer is fully submerged in the water.
3. Select a 2D sonar view to display on-screen.
If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the transducer is working
properly.
NOTE:
The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection.
Your control head is now ready for operation.
