PUCK TRANSDUCER MOUNTING
To attach a Puck style transducer to a trolling
motor use the large cable tie
provided. Notice the slots in the
transducer for this purpose. Locate
the transducer on the bottom of the
lower unit (figure 8). Run the cable
up the shaft using smaller cable ties
to hold it in position. Make sure that
the motions of the trolling motor will
not damage the cable. Plug the trans-
ducer connector into the back of the
unit and screw the retaining ring down tight.
IN-HULL MOUNTING
Puck transducers can also be mounted in-hull. This
method gives high-speed reading without the worry of
having a transducer hanging on the back of the boat to get
damaged. Finding the best location for the transducer before
installation is critical. Choose a flat smooth spot near the
center of the bilge and near the back of the boat. Be sure to
make a "test run" before you permanently install the
transducer to make sure that you can get a good reading
through your hull at all speeds. When the boat is in the
water, put about a half inch of water in the bilge and hold
the transducer in the intended location. Move the it around
until you get the best reading. Mark the spot.
To install the transducer, first clean the spot of mud and
oil. Using an epoxy* or silicone glue, make a puddle, about
