TROLLING MOTOR MOUNTING

To attach a Puck Style transducer to a trolling motor,

use the large cable tie provided*. Notice the slots in the

transducer for this purpose. Locate the transducer on

the bottom of the lower unit as in figure F. Run the

cable up the shaft using cable ties to hold it in position.

Make sure that the movement of the trolling motor will

not damage the cable. Plug the transducer connector

into the back of the unit and screw the retaining ring down tight.

*Metal hose clamps are not recommended, as they do not give way in case of impact

with an underwater object.

PORTABLE MOUNTING

Optional suction cup brackets can be used to temporarily attach a trans-

ducer to the transom or side of the boat. The cups should be placed in a

location where it will not be torn off when the boat starts to move at high

speed. It is a good idea to tie on a safety rope in case the cup does let go.

There are three suction cup brackets available for the FL-18. The BK0023

and the BK0027 are made to attach the Puck style transducers to a boat

for use at slow speeds. The BK0044 suction cup brackets is made to attach

the high speed transducers to a boat for high speed uses. See pages 27

and 28 for transducer and bracket options.

An arm can also be used to hold the transducer. Simply attach the trans-

ducer to the end of the arm using cable ties or tape. If the arm is con-

structed of metal tubing insulate the transducer from the arm by wrap-

ping electrical tape around the arm. This prevents "ringing" which is dis-

played as noise near the surface on the flasher display.

Run the transducer cord up the arm using cable ties to hold the cord

in place. Plug the transducer connector into the back of the unit and screw

the retaining ring down tight.
