Wire and Cable Routing
Route trolling motor wires on the opposite side of the boat from other
miscellaneous boat wiring (bow light wiring, spot light wiring, etc.).
Transducer installation should be installed according to the
manufacturer’s specifications. To avoid interference, cables should be
routed separately from the trolling motor power cables.
IMPORTANT: Do not route the transducer cable down the trolling motor
power cord or foot pedal assembly cable. Route the transducer cable
down the arm of the mount, then into the bow console.
Sensitive electronics, depth finders in particular, should be connected
directly to the main engine battery. If only a one battery system is used,
then connect with separate cables.
