Installation Notes – Trolling Motor Transducers
Both Downlooker and Sidelooker transducers may be installed on a
trolling motor. See Fig. 2-8.
Detailed instructions for these installations will be included with the
transducer(s). The Downlooker transducer is mounted on the horizontal
gear case of the motor. The Sidelooker transducer is attached to the
vertical support tube. These installations are simple, but it is important to
keep these points in mind:
1. Keep the Sidelooker transducer fully submerged. The transducer will
only produce an image if it is immersed in water.
2. Keep the Sidelooker transducer clear of weeds or debris.
3. When the position of the trolling motor is changed, the field of view of
the Sidelooker also changes. The Sidelooker can be aimed at
interesting echoes, but can also be positioned so that it is looking
back at the hull. Be aware of the position of the Sidelooker trans-
ducer.
