Wire and Cable Routing
Route trolling motor wires on the opposite side of the boat from other
miscellaneous boat wiring (bow light wiring, spot light wiring, etc.).
Transducer installation should be installed according to the
manufacturer’s specifications. To avoid interference, cables should be
routed separately from the trolling motor power cables.
IMPORTANT: Do not route the transducer cable down the trolling
motor power cord or foot pedal assembly cable. Route the transducer
cable down the arm of the mount, then into the bow console.
