2
Secure the transducer cable to the motor shaft or other
secure location.
3
Route the transducer cable to the installation location of the
sonar module while taking these precautions.
• You should not route the cable close to electrical wires or
other sources of electrical interference.
• You must route the cable so it is not pinched when the
trolling motor is deployed or stowed.
4
Position the transducer to your desired angle
Shaft Orientation, page
Trolling Motor Shaft Orientation
The angle of installation depends on the side of the trolling
motor shaft you mount the bracket on, and your desired field of
view.
TIP: No tools are necessary to change the orientation from
forward to down. Turn the mount one click to change the
orientation from forward to down.

Installing the Transducer on a Transom
Assembling the Transom-Mount Hardware

using the bolts
NOTE: The recommended torque applied to the screw is
15 lb-ft. (20 N-m).
NOTE: If the transducer causes excessive spray when
mounted to the transom, you can purchase a deflector to
install between the transducer and mount bracket. Go to
buy.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer for
information about optional accessories.

Installing the Transom-Mount Hardware
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance
counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to
avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are
tightened.
1
Place the transducer mount so the top of the transducer is
under the transom.
2
Using the transom mount as a template, mark the location of
the pilot holes.
3
Wrap a piece of tape around a 4 mm (

holes too deep.

If you are installing the bracket on fiberglass, place a piece of
tape over the pilot-hole location to reduce cracking of the gel
coat.

If you must route the cable through the transom, choose a
pilot-hole location well above the waterline and mark it.
9
If you marked a pilot hole in step 8, use a 32 mm (1

hole saw to drill a pass-through hole completely through the
transom.
10
Route the transducer cable to the sonar module:
• If you are routing the cable using a pass-through hole,
push it through the hole you drilled in step 9.
• If you are not routing the cable using a pass-through hole,
route the cable up and over the top of the transom .
You should avoid routing the cable close to electrical wires or
other sources of electrical interference.
