Installing the Transducer on the Garmin Ice Fishing Pole Mount

CAUTION

You must secure the transducer cable. Failure to secure the cable could create a trip and fall hazard, which could result in personal injury.

NOTICE

You can use electrical tape or cable ties to secure the transducer cable. If you use cable ties, do not over-tighten them. Over-tightening cable ties can damage the cable and cause transducer failure.

NOTE: If you do not plan to change the viewing mode of the transducer often or prefer a lower-profile installation without the adjustment knob, you can use the included low-profile hardware (Installing the Transducer Using Low-Profile Mounting Hardware).
TIP: The top of the transducer must be below the bottom of the ice for best performance.

To install the transducer on the Garmin® ice fishing pole mount, you need the included hardware and hex wrench.

  1. If the pole is equal to or less than 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter, wrap the rubber liner 1 around the pole at the mounting location.
