TROLLING MOTOR CONTROL PANEL
Bow-mounted trolling motors
sometimes use control panels in
the bow area to provide terminal
connections for the trolling motor
and battery. These motors may
also include connections for an
external battery charger, control
switches, indicators and battery
gauges.
Trolling motor battery gauges indicate energy remaining in the deep-cycle batteries.
To show the charge level, typical gauges have either a series of light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) or an indicator needle. Where applicable, a battery gauge switch may
be used to select each battery in the system to check the individual condition of
each battery.
FISH LOCATORS, GRAPHS AND DEPTH INDICATORS
Fish finders and graphs are available in many different types for various
applications. Typical finders use a transducer mounted below the waterline on the
hull of the boat. The transducer sends and receives electrical signals through the
water that are interpreted by the finder to calculate depth and any structure
beneath the boat. A display on the finder generates a representative image showing
depth, structure and fish. See the manufacturer’s information for operating
instructions.
FISHING SEATS
See the seat manufacturer’s information for operation and maintenance
instructions.
Typical fishing boats may use pedestal-mounted seats that allow anglers to sit
higher in the boat. Pedestal seats provide better maneuverability and visual
perspective while fishing.
Man Overboard Hazard: DO NOT sit in pedestal seats
on high platform locations while underway except at trolling speeds. You risk
being thrown overboard.
Pedestal seats in the bow area can restrict the driver’s view and must be removed
when underway at speeds other than trolling.
