Puck  Transducer  Mounting  Instructions

Trolling  Motor  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.   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   transducer

connector  into  the  back  of  the  unit  and  screw  the

retaining  ring  down  tight.

 

 

In-­Hull  Mounting

Finding  the  best  location  for  the  transducer  before  you  mount  it  is  critical.

Choose  a  flat  smooth  spot  near  the  center  of  the  bilge  and  near  the  back

of  the  boat.  It  is  a  good  idea  to  make  a  "test  run"  before  you  permanently

install   the   transducer   to   make   sure   that   you   can   indeed   get   a   reading

through  your  hull  and  when  the  boat  is  on  plane.  Put  about  a  half  inch  of

water   in   the   bilge   and   hold   the   transducer   in   the   intended   location.   Move

the  transducer  around  until  you  get  the  best  reading.  Mark  that  spot.

To   install   the   transducer   clean   the   spot   of   mud

and   oil.   Using   an   epoxy   or   silicone   glue   make   a

puddle   about   the   same   diameter   as   the

transducer   on   the   hull.   Place   the   transducer   in

the   glue.   Press   it   down   firmly,   gently   twisting   it

back   and   forth,   making   sure   that   there   are   no

air   bubbles   in   the   glue   between   the   transducer   and   the   hull.   Let   the   glue

dry  completely  before  turning  the  unit  on.

Run   the   transducer   cord   up   to   the   unit   taking   the   same   care   as   you   did

when  you  ran  the  power  cord.  Plug  the  transducer  connector  into  the  back

of  the  unit  and  screw  the  retaining  ring  down  tight.
