    Hydrowave cord snapped when spot lock over spun

    I've got a hydrowave and Minn Kota Terrova with spot lock. Love the spot lock, however my hydrowave cord snapped when it got wrapped too tight around the shaft of my TM when spot lock was getting settled. How do you guys keep the cord from getting too tight, but not too loose to where it can get hit by the TM prop?

    I routed mine down through the middle of the coiled cable along with my transducer cable. I also put both cables inside a wire loom. Then secured at the base of the trolling motor just above the prop with zipties and just below the head. I made sure to give plenty of slack in between the two points. I'll take pictures next time I'm on the boat.

    I also make a point to keep an eye on it when in spotlock.
