Separating the Transducer Cables Before you separate the cables, you should test-fit the transducer. The cables should be at room temperature when you separate them. 1 With the transducer dry fitted to the trolling motor, mark the location the transducer cable crosses the rotating joint . 2 Place the transducer cables on a hard, flat surface. 3 Press the tip of the cutting tool, a flathead screwdriver, or a blunt knife to the center of the cables at your marked location, and puncture the material between the cables. NOTE: Do not cut through or into the round section of the cables. Puncture the center webbing between the cables only. 6 Use the black electrical tape to secure the transducer cable to the shaft. The split section of the cable should extend under the tape. 7 Test the full rotation of the trolling motor to ensure the cables clear the rotating joint and are not pulled due to tension during rotation. Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor Assembling the Trolling Motor Barrel Mount Hardware 1 Align the top of the transducer with the top of the bracket . 4 Using your fingers, pull the cable halves apart approximately 12.5 cm (5 in.) on both sides of the hole. 5 Ensure the cables have a gap of at least 10 cm ( 4 in.) above and 10 cm (4 in.) below the split portion of the cable and are centered on the rotating joint . This creates a loop in the cable over the rotating joint. The loop must be large enough to allow full rotation of the transducer in both directions. Allow a minimum of 25 cm (10 in.) of cable to cover the 20 cm (8 in.) section between mounting points. 2 Using the included hex wrench, attach the bracket to the transducer with the shoulder screw , rubber washer , and flat washer . NOTE: You must fully tighten the mount to the transducer. The recommended torque applied to the shoulder screw is 2.5 lb-ft. (3.4 N-m). Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor NOTICE You must secure the transducer cable to the shaft or other secure location during installation. Damage to the transducer cable wires or cable jacket can cause transducer failure. 1 Insert the hose clamp through the slot on the trolling motor mount until equal lengths extend on both sides of the mount. 2

Separating the Transducer Cables
Before you separate the cables, you should test-fit the
transducer. The cables should be at room temperature when
you separate them.
1
With the transducer dry fitted to the trolling motor, mark the
location the transducer cable crosses the rotating joint
.
2
Place the transducer cables on a hard, flat surface.
3
Press the tip of the cutting tool, a flathead screwdriver, or a
blunt knife to the center of the cables at your marked
location, and puncture the material between the cables.
NOTE:
Do not cut through or into the round section of the
cables. Puncture the center webbing between the cables
only.
4
Using your fingers, pull the cable halves apart approximately
12.5 cm (5 in.)
on both sides of the hole.
5
Ensure the cables have a gap of at least 10 cm ( 4 in.) above
and 10 cm (4 in.) below
the split portion of the cable and
are centered on the rotating joint
. This creates a loop
in
the cable over the rotating joint. The loop must be large
enough to allow full rotation of the transducer in both
directions. Allow a minimum of 25 cm (10 in.) of cable to
cover the 20 cm (8 in.) section between mounting points.
6
Use the black electrical tape
to secure the transducer
cable to the shaft. The split section of the cable should
extend under the tape.
7
Test the full rotation of the trolling motor to ensure the cables
clear the rotating joint and are not pulled due to tension
during rotation.

2
Using the included hex wrench, attach the bracket to the
transducer with the shoulder screw
, rubber washer
, and
flat washer
.
NOTE:
You must fully tighten the mount to the transducer.
The recommended torque applied to the shoulder screw is
2.5 lb-ft. (3.4 N-m).

NOTICE
You must secure the transducer cable to the shaft or other
secure location during installation. Damage to the transducer
cable wires or cable jacket can cause transducer failure.
1
Insert the hose clamp
through the slot on the trolling motor
mount
until equal lengths extend on both sides of the
mount.
