Power drive v2 transducer mount and routing
Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount and route my transducer cable on my pd v2. I've done some research and also emailed minnkota. I wasn't particularly impressed with the diagram they sent. I know there are some creative minds out there, so I'm just wondering what route you guys are taking? Pics would be great! Thanks!

CH I have a Terrova Ipilot and ran the transducer cable from my Hbird 997Si on it and it works like a charm. But before I show and describe all of that to you, does your Powerdrive have a perfectly round shaft or is there an area/channel in the back of it for the entire length? (Sorry I looked online but couldn't get any pics detailed enough to show me)

It's perfectly round. I think only the terrova has the flat channel that runs the length of the shaft.Originally Posted by HatchieLuvr

CRAP! Then I don't know what to tell ya, sorry. I removed the shaft and used epoxy to put my cable on but that was in that channel. I'd think the only thing you are left to do is have slack hangin, regardless how you rig it and I know that will be a PITA! MinnKota is owned by same folks that own Humminbird and sometimes I wonder just what they were thinkin when they done some of their engineering??? Sorry, wish I could help...

Yeah I've wondered the same thing. My main issue is havin all that slack hangin just looks kinda crappy. Thanks for tryin to help I appreciate it.

Here;s what I did. Made a standoff to keep the cable from getting pinched in the mounting bracket. Then use a small bungee that still allows cable to be pulled out when needed, but keeps the slack out.

Minn Kota should not dump their crap on us to figure out. I have damaged 2 transducer cables and still looking for good solution. I used the system at top of page plus added plastic tube just big enough to fit over cable after being split down the side.
I want to try the stand off system when the weather warms up. Does this let the tolling motor turn completely around without hanging on base or something else?

I did mine, round tube. There's a thread somewhere here with the pics and description. If I have a chance when I get home tonight I'll take a picture of mine. The wire attaches at the bottom and at the top of trolling motor, not in between as it wouldn't go up the sleeve when you lift it. I'll get a pic tonight. Basically what ShellBack's got going on.
