Installing the Transducer on a Pole

You can use the included hardware to install the transducer on a pole (not included). Installing the transducer on a pole is similar to installing the transducer on a trolling motor shaft. If needed, you can refer to the diagram provided for installing the transducer on a trolling motor shaft when installing the transducer on a pole (Installing the Transducer on the Perspective Mode Mount).

Labels identifying the parts bags required for this procedure:

Bag label A Bag label C Bag label J
NOTICE

You must secure the transducer cable to the pole or other secure location during installation. Damage to the transducer cable wire or the cable jacket can cause transducer failure.

NOTE: If you are installing your transducer on a Spy Pole™ mount, refer to the Spy Pole™ side shaft mounting section (Installing the Transducer on the Spy Pole Perspective Mount).
  1. Remove the back of the mount bracket and four screws from parts bag Bag label J.
  2. Remove the front half of the shaft mount bracket from parts bag Bag label A.
  3. If the pole is equal to or less than 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter, remove the rubber liner from parts bag Bag label J.
  4. If the pole is equal to or less than 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter, wrap the rubber liner around the pole in the location where you plan to install the mount.
  5. Place the mount bracket around the rubber liner on the pole.
  6. Insert the screws into the mount bracket, and secure them using the 5 mm hex wrench in parts bag Bag label A.
  7. Remove the knob from parts bag Bag label C.
  8. Place the transducer against the mount bracket, and secure it using the knob.
    NOTE: You can secure the transducer to the mount using the included low-profile hardware instead of the knob if you do not plan to switch transducer modes frequently during use (Installing the Transducer Using Low Profile Mounting Hardware).
  9. Secure the transducer cable to the pole or other secure location.
