Mounting Considerations
• Placement of the transducer on a trolling motor depends on
the type of trolling motor you have installed on your boat.
• You should consider the operation modes before selecting a
mounting location. Mounting the transducer on the trolling
motor shaft is recommended for LiveVü Forward mode.
Mounting the transducer on the trolling motor is
recommended for LiveVü Down mode, or if you plan to switch
between the forward and down modes.
• You must angle the transducer correctly for each mode to
work properly (
Adjusting the Transducer Angle
).
• You can mount the transducer on the motor of some
electrically steered trolling motors, but you must make sure
you can safely deploy and retract the trolling motor with the
transducer attached.
• You must mount the transducer so it does not obstruct the
motor from being placed in its storage cradle or prevent the
motor from being stowed and deployed correctly.
• Do not mount the transducer near strong magnetic fields,
which interfere with the ability of the internal compass to
measure the earth's magnetic field and prevent calibration.
Failure to properly calibrate causes some map features to be
unavailable, and waypoints created in LiveVü Forward mode
use the boat heading instead of the transducer orientation to
calculate your position.
• You must mount the transducer as far from the motor as
possible while keeping the transducer submerged. Placing
the transducer on the barrel of the trolling motor or too close
