    M360 transducer

    The m360 head will turn on the shaft. What secures the head to the shaft?

    Some type of thread lock or glue that wasn't applied. Others have had the same thing recently.

    FYI Wayne I contacted HB thru the website with this issue the other day. I asked for detailed instructions on how to solve the op’s and my issue. They replied back with a link to the Mega 360 Installation Manual. I thought of you and chuckled. I replied back asking to reference page numbers with the instructions. My reasoning is the belief no one really learns anything unless they experience the research and task. As you told me, there are no such instructions in the Mega 360 Installation Manaual.

    This is a 360 pole with the pointer part that fits inside the pod pointer that the two screws and long nut hold together and a trolling motor shaft for a transom trolling motor.
    Contact a Minnkota service facility and ask what the bonding agent is that is put on the threads for the shaft to motor attachment, probably the same stuff.
    If I had to deal with it, I would get Red Locktite, unscrew the shaft about 1/2 way, put some of the Locktite on the threads and screw it back together all way until it bottoms out in the pointer.
