Installing the Transducer on the Perspective Mode Mount

You can use the perspective mode mount to install the transducer in the perspective or side shaft configuration.

Labels identifying the parts bags required for this procedure:

Bag label A Bag label C Bag label D Bag label J
NOTE: To avoid obstructions in the sonar image, you should mount the transducer on the shaft as far from the motor as possible.
  1. Remove the perspective mode bracket from parts bag Bag label A.
  2. Remove the adapter disc from parts bag Bag label D, which is located within parts bag Bag label E.
  3. Remove the back half of the mounting bracket and four screws from parts bag Bag label J.
    NOTE: For a shaft diameter greater than 42 mm (1.65 in.), use the four screws from parts bag Bag label G instead.
  4. Remove the knob from parts bag Bag label C.
  5. If the trolling motor shaft is equal to or less than 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter, remove the rubber liner from parts bag Bag label J.
  6. Identify the arrow on the front half of the mounting bracket to ensure you install the bracket in the correct orientation when you secure it to the trolling motor.
  7. If you are installing the transducer on a shaft equal to or less than 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter, wrap the rubber liner 1 around the shaft at the location where you plan to install the bracket.

    NOTE: The rubber liner is not needed when installing the transducer on a shaft with a diameter larger than 25 mm (1 in.).
  8. Orient the mounting bracket 2 on the shaft so the arrows on the inside of the front half of the bracket point upward.

    The bracket should be aligned so the notch in the bracket lines up with the groove in the trolling motor shaft.

  9. Insert the screws 3 into the back of the mounting bracket 4, and secure them to the front bracket using the 5 mm hex wrench in parts bag Bag label A.
  10. Transition the trolling motor from the deployed to the stowed position and back again to test the location of the mounting bracket and make any adjustments as needed (optional).
  11. Remove the adhesive liner from the back of the adapter disc 5.
  12. Attach the adapter disc to the end of the mount arm by aligning the 3 pegs on the adapter disc with the holes in the bracket 2.
  13. Place the transducer 6 against the adapter disc, and attach it using the knob 7.
    NOTE: You can secure the transducer to the extension arm using the included low-profile hardware instead of the knobs if you do not plan to switch transducer modes frequently during use (Installing the Transducer Using Low Profile Mounting Hardware).
  14. Secure the transducer cable to the shaft or other secure location.
    NOTICE

    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.

    Failure to adhere to these guidelines can result in property damage or damage to your device.

    NOTE: Leave a small amount of slack in the transducer cable before securing it so you can rotate the transducer between viewing modes as needed.
    NOTE: If necessary, you can connect an optional extension cable, available at buy.garmin.com or from your Garmin® dealer.
  15. Position the transducer at your preferred angle (Viewing Modes).
