You should test-fit the transducer and cable before finalizing the installation.
Allow a loose gap of at least 20
cm (8 in.)
around the rotating joint to create a loop in the cable.
The loop must be large enough to allow full rotation of the transducer in
both directions, so you can use a guideline of 10 cm (4 in.) above and 10 cm
(4 in.) below when establishing the loop. You should allow a minimum of
25 cm (9.8 in.) of transducer cable to cover the 20 cm (8 in.) section
between the points where you secure the cable to the shaft.
Use black electrical tape to secure the
transducer cable to the shaft.
Test the full rotation of the trolling motor to ensure the cable clears the rotating joint and is not pulled tight due to tension during rotation.
Route the transducer cable through your vessel to the power source and your
chartplotter.
Connect the included Y-split
cable to the end of the transducer cable.
Connect the positive (red) cable to the
positive terminal on your power source, observing proper fusing.
Connect the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal on your power
source.
Connect the Garmin BlueNet™ cable to your compatible
chartplotter or network switch, using an adapter cable if your chartplotter or
switch has only a Legacy Garmin® Marine Network port.
