7. Make a test run to determine the results. If the bottom is lost at

high speed, or if noise appears on the display, try sliding the
transducer bracket down. This puts the transducer deeper into the
water, hopefully, below the turbulence causing the noise. Be careful
not to install the transducer bracket below the bottom of the hull!

TROLLING MOTOR BRACKET INSTALLATION
(single-frequency only)
1. Attach the optional TMB-S bracket to the transducer as shown in the

following figure, using the hardware supplied with the transducer.
(Note: The internal tooth washer is supplied with the TMB-S.)

Attach motor mounting bracket to transducer.

2. Slide the adjustable strap supplied with the TMB-S through the slot

in the transducer bracket and wrap it around the trolling motor.
Position the transducer to aim straight down when the motor is in
the water. Tighten the strap securely.

3. Route the transducer cable alongside the trolling motor shaft. Use

plastic ties (not included) to attach the transducer cable to the
trolling motor shaft. Make sure there is enough slack in the cable for
the motor to turn freely. Route the cable to the sonar unit and the
transducer is ready for use.
