the type of trolling motor you have installed on your boat.
•
You can mount the transducer on the motor of some
electrically steered trolling motors, but you must make sure
you can safely deploy and retract the trolling motor with the

•
You must mount the transducer so it does not obstruct the
motor from being placed in its storage cradle or prevent the

interferes with the ability of the internal compass to measure
the earth's magnetic field, and prevents calibration. Failure to
properly calibrate causes some map features to be

the boat heading instead of the transducer orientation to
calculate your position.
