INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER
INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER
An external transducer is not included with your trolling motor. An external transducer can be installed onto motors that have Universal
Sonar or motors that do not have a built in transducer. For more information on Universal Sonar, please visit minnkotamotors.com.
Installing an external transducer is not recommended for motors with Built-in MEGA Down Imaging.
1
a.
Mount the External Transducer according to
directions provided with the transducer.
b.
Leave enough slack in the Transducer Cable
between the Lower Unit and Control Head to allow
the motor to properly stow and deploy.
c.
Use two tie wrap cables to secure the Transducer
Cable to the Shaft just above the Lift Assist Collar
and just below the Control Head.
d.
Run the Transducer Cable through the Coil Cord to
the power supply.
CAUTION
Not following the recommended wire routing for the
Universal Sonar and External Transducer Cables may cause
damage to the product and void your product warranty. Take
care to test the length and placement of cable to be sure
that there is enough slack where needed and that cables are
free of being entangled in moving parts. Routing the cables
in any way other than directed may cause damage to the
cables by being pinched or severed.
