FEATURE OVERVIEW AND CONNECTING THE CABLES
The Universal Sonar Cables are shielded to minimize interference. To protect this shielding the cables should not be pulled tight against
sharp angles or hard objects. If using cable ties, do not over-tighten. Any excess cable should be bundled in a loose loop of no less than
4" in diameter. In certain situations, air bubbles may adhere to the surface of the Universal Sonar transducer, and affect the performance.
If this happens simply wipe the surface of the transducer with your finger.
NOTICE:
Universal Sonar does not support imaging screens that require higher frequencies such as 455 kHz, 800 kHz or
1.2mHz (Down Imaging, Side Imaging, etc.). Down Imaging (DI) specific units are not compatible with Universal Sonar. See
compatibility chart for a list of compatible fish finders at minnkotamotors.com.
The connector for Universal Sonar exits the trolling motor below the Control Head and consists of a 4-pin plug. An adapter cable
(sold separately) will convert the 4-pin plug to the correct transducer connector for your fish finder, and is required for all installations.
