has anyone come up with sensible mounting for the transducer on the v-2 motor? i can't figure out a mounting that the cable wont tangle.

mine doesn't have a transducer - is this a part that comes with the motor or for a depth finder that you have in addition to the motor? I wired my depth finder to the opposite end of the boat from the bow mount motor.

I assume you are mounting it inside the hull. You want it close to the center line and somewhere along the length that is free from turbulence (i.e. where the hull is always submerged with no cavitation moving air under the hull). You can temporarily mount the transducer with petroleum jelly to check out your preferred location. The pj is gooey enough to hold it in place for awhile. Make sure you use plenty of pj and press down to remove any air pockets that may be between the hull and the transducer. I was able to run my powerboat up to speed with sweeping turns for approximately 20 minutes to verify I had a good location and good readings, free from turbulence and metal hull stringers in the fiberglass, before the transducer became dislodged from the pj.

You will have to run the wire from the transom transducer to the display head. FYI, just a hint, mount the transducer first, then run the wire (or atleast have the transducer passed around the motor or close by where you intend to mount it) You dont want to run the wire and realize you should have gone around a hatch or motor mount or whatever and have to pull the wire back out; you should never cut the transducer wire, infact you should lay it out flat against itself back and forth vs coiling up any slack, they say the coiling is worse for signal loss.Great unit for the money, good luck on the install.

Hey Glen, Probably not, unless your existing transducer has side-imaging capability along with down imaging. The mounting & transducer appearance may look identical, but the interior electronics can be totally different. Check out the model #'s or part # to see if they are the same on both transducers. My guess is you'd be best off changing the transducer & possibly use the existing mount if you want. Sincerely, Terry & Good Luck.

anythings possible with a little ingenuity. I ordered this and the corresponding aluminum motor mount and a little dremel time I managed to replace my 1/18 scales 370 motor with this 540 motor. upgraded the motor gear and spur gear from plastic to brass and aluminum spur gear and my redcat 1/18 volcano outright screams now. made the rear differential into a posi unit to cure the hard launch problems it experienced and left the front differential stock. finished product looks like it came that way. motor is just on the opposite side in the battery box opening because it wouldn't clear servo assembly. anythings possible with a little ingenuity.

You do not have to permanently fix the transducer, it has a suction cup attached to the transducer. I'm sure you could attach it to the trolling motor with zip ties and not buy the Adapter kit.

I'm not sure I used the transducer that came with the unit to put on my trolling motor and it worked great

This CT is Pcb mounted. It would be a very involved procedure. There is a current carrying cable passing through the center hole. You have to remove the cable from the center hole. after that you can desolder the ct and take it out from the pcb. Why do you want to change the CT? Is it defective? Or you want to enhance the current rating with a higher current CT? Either way you need to recalibrate. Make sure you maintain the sensitivities ie mV/amp.

I recently purchased this unit, it comes with everything you need, including transducer. You won't be disappointed. I believe the cable is about 15 feet or so. Plenty long enough for any transom mount transducer

Hello Stan, where are you mounting your antenna mounts? Using the firestik MKM2 body mount will solve this problem as the antenna is not NGP but the antenna mount is. I used the mount on my truck bed cross over tool box and did not need to ground the box to the frame of my truck. I used one for my Uniden SSB Radio and one for my Unuden Scanner. Both work great. I hope this helps.

I got the motor mount by going to the Sevylor site. It was ~$80.00 and definitely worth it. My motor is 3.5 hp. If you can't find oars on Amazon try Cabella's or Bass Pro Shop online.

yes, find a way to hang the transducer over the side, make sure its parallel with the bottom. use a small 12V 7AH SLA battery to power it up and go Fishing.

No, you don't. You will need to mount the IN-Hull transducer in a spot on the inside of your hull that provides a clear shot downward with minimal turbulance. I suggest affixing the transducer to the hull with 3M 5200 fast cure. I tried silicone and also some JB weld and it didn't hold up. The mineral oil that I filled the transducer housing with leaked out. I used mineral oil that I was able to get at walmart to fill the transducer housing.

Yes it will work. I mounted my transducer through the hull using duct seal (do a google search on duct seal and transd mounting). There are a few different methods but I take a balled up amount of duct seal, make a pancake and place the ducer right on it leaving about a 1/8 to 1/4 between it and the hull. I get pretty accurate readings on depth and temperature is off by 1 - 2 degrees.

It comes with a transom mount transducer. I ordered an airmar in hull transducer so I wouldn't have to drill any additional holes in hull. If the trans mt is ok for you, then all necessary components are included.

According to the product details. The transducer and installation kit included I'm not sure how long transducer cable is. However , it had this installed in ,My cc 19' pro line without any problem

If it is a very thin wire, then that is not normal. There should be solder pads on the board where the other motor control wires are connected. If it is a single wire coming from the board, that is the antenna and is suppose to be loose. Source: ive re-built this thing 8 times.
