  8. Secure the transducer cable to the motor shaft or other secure location while taking these precautions.

    • You must route the cable so it does not come in contact with the propeller when the trolling motor is operating.

    • You should not route the cable close to electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference.

    • You must route the cable so it is not pinched when the trolling motor is deployed or stowed.

    NOTE: If necessary, you can connect an optional extension cable, available at buy.garmin.com or from your Garmin® dealer.
  9. Position the transducer to your preferred angle (Viewing Modes).
