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 5). 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. Before you plug the
transducer connector into the inline
jack, it is recommended to spray some
lubricant or dab some common petroleum jelly inside. This
will help prevent long term corrosion.
IN-HULL MOUNTING
Puck transducers can also be mounted in-hull. This
method gives high-speed readings 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 transom of the boat near the drain plug area. It
is recommended 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. You may need
someone’s help for the test, but it will insure you get a good
reading after final installation.
