How does everybody run the transducer cable on a Minn Koda trolling motor?
How does everybody run the transducer cable on a Minn Koda trolling motor?
What motor?
Power Drive 55Originally Posted by alanhore
There are youtube videos where they run the cable up the shaft and through the head of the TM. Here is a link for a Terrova which is pretty close to a power drive. I will be doing the same on my Terrova but am waiting until I get the money for a better system first =) (come on big stimulus!!)
Thanks MikeCSr! Unfortunately I don’t have that grove on the shaft.

Ya.. after i posted that I asked my co worker whom has a power drive and he said his does not have the flat spot like my Terrova does. He said there is a way.. but he does not feel comfy doing it. He was thinking of just keeping using the US2 only or this:
I took a different approach. My Humminbird manual specifically said not to mount the transducer on the trolling motor. You had to order a transducer specially shielded for a trolling motor mount. Unfortunately, with Covid, they were back ordered with no future prediction of availability. So, I went with a bow mount. This works really well and does not have issues of the cable getting wrapped up on the TM.
