Thread: power drive question

Wannabe I absolutely love mine. Anchor lock onto the tree tops or use the tracking method to move slowly back and forth among them. The transducer connects neatly to the front fish finder and is giving a great pic. Haven't missed the foot control as of yet but am now used to having that danged controller hanging around my neck. Next doctor's appointment I'm asking if that qualifies for regular excercise.
Only thing I didn't like was you can't hook the TM and fishfinder to the same battery if you buy it with the transducer built in... seemed strange they'd design it that way but guess it's one of those things that can't be changed like the law of physics.
Thumbs UpTime will tell if the transducer and hand controller hold up... nothing like technology (when it works)

Also if you drill a small hole in the back fin on the trolling motor you can put a small cable tie there to keep the cable snug to the motor and help guide it to the shaft. From the top of shaft run the cable through the coiled cable from the troller to the end that attaches to the housing then to the depth finder

should have said the small fin on the back of the shaft on top of the motor.
