Transducer wire option on terrova
I'm putting a terrova on and wondering about some ideas on the transducer wire because I won't be using the Built in transducer. Everyone I've ever seen the wire just dangled loose. If anybody has any better way or maybe even some pictures let me see them if you don't mind. Thanks in advance

I had a Low on the front but did not like the loose/dangling wire on my terrova, so I got a HB and followed the how to, and works like a charm. Still have to watch the cables as the Terrova can spin over 360, and can still damage the wire.
X2 on the 360 spin. If the Terrova loses the GPS signal, it spins around to try and find it and will literally pull the ducer wire in two.

BTW, I've seen some people use a separate transducer bracket on the bow. I don't like the clutter, but it works like a charm, especially if you're running SI or SS on the front.
