Routing the Power and Transducer Cables Through the Mount

After you have installed a replacement power cable, transducer, or shaft, you should route the power and transducer cables through the mount.

NOTICE

To avoid damaging the power and transducer cables when deploying and stowing the trolling motor and to avoid interference with the GPS and heading sensors in the motor, you must route the cables through the right (starboard) side of the mount and secure them using the included hardware. You must not route the power cable through the left (port) side of the mount, and it is not possible to install the included brackets on the left (port) side. The left (port) side is reserved for additional accessories or transducer cables that you may install in the future.

  1. Measure approximately 40 cm (16 in.) on the power cable from where it connects to the steering servo housing, and look for the mark on the cable applied at the factory.

  2. If you do not see a mark on the cable, or if the mark is not approximately 40 cm (16 in.) from the connection, make a mark with a marker or tape.
  3. With the motor in the deployed position, route the transducer cable through the channel along the right (starboard) side of the mount Callout number one.

    TIP: To determine the right (starboard) side of the mount, stand in a location where you can read the information on the display panel.
  4. Route the power cable through the channel above the transducer cable.
  5. Using the pull cable, carefully lift the motor from the deployed position to the stowed position.
    NOTICE

    You must secure the cables to the mount with the motor in the stowed position. If you complete this procedure with the motor in the deployed position, the cables are not at their fully extended length, and the added stress may damage the cables during use.

  6. Leaving a rounded bend in the cables Callout number two, hold them against the side of the mount where they enter the channel.

  7. At the marked location on the power cable, place one of the brackets that has two screw holes Callout number three over the cables and against the mount, aligning the holes on the bracket with the holes on the mount.
  8. Using a 3 mm hex bit or wrench, secure the bracket to the mount using two screws Callout number four.
  9. Hold the cables against the bottom of the mount where they exit the channel.
  10. Place the other bracket that has two screw holes Callout number five over the cables and against the mount, aligning the holes on the bracket with the holes on the mount.

  11. Using a 3 mm hex bit or wrench, secure the bracket to the mount using two screws Callout number six.
  12. Hold the cables against the plastic portion of the mount base, close to the boat deck.
  13. Insert the lower tab on the remaining bracket into a slot below the cables Callout number seven, and rotate the bracket toward the mount base to hold the cables.
