Mounting Considerations

Transducer Mounting Location

Angle transducer correctly, ensure module ventilation, avoid jarring and turbulent water.

Transom Mounting Guidelines

Mount transducer near centerline; deadrise may affect sonar beam and detection.

Sonar Module Mounting

Mount sonar module where LEDs are visible, cables connect, and device is not submerged.

Cable Considerations

Cable Management and Protection

Avoid over-tightening zip ties; use tape and service loops for cable protection.

Routing the Transducer Cable

Cable Routing and Looping

Allow loose gaps for rotation, use tape, test full rotation to prevent cable strain.

Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor

Trolling Motor Barrel Mount Assembly

Align transducer with bracket, attach using shoulder screw, rubber, and flat washer.

Securing Transducer Cable to Shaft

Secure transducer cable to shaft/location using hose clamp and tape to prevent damage.

Cable Routing Precautions

Route cable away from interference, avoid pinching, use extension cables if needed.

Transducer Angle Adjustment

Position transducer to desired angle as per 'Trolling Motor Mount Orientation'.

Trolling Motor Mount Orientation

Mounting Orientations

Select orientation based on side of motor and desired view (forward/down).

Installing the Transducer on a Trolling Motor Shaft

Trolling Motor Shaft Bracket Orientation

Orient shaft bracket arrow and narrow end upwards to reduce barrel interference.

Shaft Mount Assembly

Attach transducer to shaft bracket using hex wrench, shoulder screw, and washers.

Securing Transducer Cable to Shaft

Secure transducer cable to motor shaft or location to prevent damage.

Cable Routing and Positioning

Route cable away from interference, avoid pinching; position transducer to desired angle.

Trolling Motor Shaft Orientation

Shaft Mount Orientations

Select orientation based on motor shaft side and desired view (forward/down).

Installing the Transducer on a Transom

Optional Spray Shield Accessory

Install optional spray shield to reduce spray from transducer.

Assembling the Transom-Mount Hardware

Attach transducer bracket to transducer and then to transom mount bracket.

Transom Mounting Procedure

Mark, drill pilot holes (with countersink), apply sealant, and attach transducer mount to transom.

Securing Transom Mount Corners

Ensure all four corners are secured to prevent bracket bending or breaking at speed.

Cable Routing via Transom

Route cable through transom or over top, avoiding interference and pinching.

Mounting the GLS 10 Black Box Device

Black Box Mounting Procedure

Mark pilot holes, drill, loosely fasten, check marks, drill remaining holes, and secure device.
