Thread: Disconnect for trasducer wire?

Not really sure what you mean. At one time, I had a Fish Finder/GPS that I mounted at the console on a Ram. I then bought another Ram ball and put it up front as well as a trolling motor transducer. For power, I took the existing power cable and put it on a two prong automotive adapter that slides in and installed female connectors on the wires at the bow and console. That way, i just disconnected the ducer cable at the console, disconnected the power and plugged it all back in at the front when I got ready. Worked pretty well I guess.

If you're trying to get out of buying a new transducer, they do make an adapter for a transom mount ducer to go on the Trolling Motor. I think Grizzly Jig has them in their catalogue and pretty sure I've seen 'em at BPS/Cabellas as well.

Wannabe...

Wannabe, ive thought about splicing the ducer wire and useing auto "male/female" connectors" I use a trolling motor on my canoe with a 565 humminbird. I have the adaptor for the TM. My problem is when i take the TM off when carrying it. Just trying to figure a way out of takeing the ducer off all the time.

You can do this by using a connector similar to the Minn Kota universal sonar. It works.

It is just a RF connector. Signal and sheild.

Thank you sir
