HB Trolling Motor TD Woes
Got a 346c DI for my kayak and have it rigged to use on the outboard boat trolling motor too. The transducer available for the 346c is the XTM 9 DI 25 T for the trolling motor which is a Minn Kota Edge. The problem is that the transducer is so big it hits the trolling motor mounting bracket when you pull it out of the water. A couple of months use and one of the ears that the hose clamp goes through broke off. Humminbird offered to swap it for a new one, but I contend that there is no way for this TD to work on the Minn Kota Edge.
The paper that comes with it says "the trolling motor mounted transducer will fit any standard trolling motor housing". I ask them to figure out how it would work and get back to me. There is no Transducer Shield that will fit it, and I'm asking them to swap it for a XNT 9 DI T which came with the 346c. It's for the transom but there is a shield made for that one although I'm not excited about paying $75 for that.
