Puck Transducer Mounting Instructions
Trolling Motor Mounting
To attach a Puck style transducer to a trolling
motor use the large cable tie provided. Notice
the slots in the transducer for this purpose.
Locate the transducer on the bottom of the
lower unit. Run the cable up the shaft using
smaller cable ties to hold it in position.
Make sure that the motions of the trolling motor
will not damage the cable. Plug the transducer
connector into the back of the unit and screw the
retaining ring down tight.
In-Hull Mounting
Finding the best location for the transducer before you mount it is critical.
Choose a flat smooth spot near the center of the bilge and near the back
of the boat. It is a good idea to make a "test run" before you permanently
install the transducer to make sure that you can indeed get a reading
through your hull and when the boat is on plane. Put about a half inch of
water in the bilge and hold the transducer in the intended location. Move
the transducer around until you get the best reading. Mark that spot.
To install the transducer clean the spot of mud
and oil. Using an epoxy or silicone glue make a
puddle about the same diameter as the
transducer on the hull. Place the transducer in
the glue. Press it down firmly, gently twisting it
back and forth, making sure that there are no
air bubbles in the glue between the transducer and the hull. Let the glue
dry completely before turning the unit on.
Run the transducer cord up to the unit taking the same care as you did
when you ran the power cord. Plug the transducer connector into the back
of the unit and screw the retaining ring down tight.
