    Any ideas on how to put the transducer cord from the trolling motor to the head on a Minnkota transom mount that I put up on the bow I have the bracket for putting it on the motor but cant figure out how to wrap it around the head maybe a clamp on the screw that you turn the head?

    I didn’t do this myself, but the dealer that I bought my boat from installed it with hose clamps and zip ties. They used heavy duty hose clamps to attach the ducer to the bottom of the lower unit and then zip ties to the shaft going upward. The key is not to do it super tight so the cord doesn’t wrap up badly when you’re using the motor. I also took it upon myself to use electrical tape in some areas. Electrical tape holds up nicely in most conditions, even in and out of the water regularly.

    You will need 10-12 inches of slack between the ducer and top of trolling motor.

    Use black electrical tape under the steel hose clamps. This will keep the ducer from ever moving. Zip ties at top end.

    Just need to carful when stowing/deploying the T-motor to not crimp the cable.
