TROLLING MOTOR MOUNTING
To attach a Puck Style transducer to a trolling
motor, use a hose clamp or a large cable tie. Notice the
slots in the transducer for this purpose. Locate the
transducer on the bottom of the lower unit as in figure
G. Run the cable up the shaft using cable ties to hold
it in position. Make sure that the movement of the
trolling motor will not damage the cable. Plug the transducer connector
into the back of the unit and screw the retaining ring down tight.
PORTABLE MOUNTING
Optional suction cup brackets can be used to temporarily attach a
transducer to the transom or side of the boat. The cups should be placed
in a location where it will not be torn off when the boat goes high speed.
It is a good idea to tie on a safety rope in case the cup does let go.
There are three suction cup brackets available for the FL-8SLT. The
BK0023 and BK0027 are made to attach the Puck style transducers to a
boat for use at slow speeds. The BK0044 suction cup brackets is made to
attach the high speed transducers to a boat for high speed uses. See page
26 for details.
An arm can also be used to hold the transducer. Simply attach the
transducer to the end of the arm using cable ties or tape. If the arm is
constructed of metal tubing insulate the transducer from the arm by wrap-
ping electrical tape around the arm. This prevents "ringing" which can
be displayed as noise near the surface.
Run the transducer cord up to the unit using cable ties to hold the
cord in place. Plug the transducer connector into the back of the unit and
screw the retaining ring down tight.
