Location: Indiana | Here's my guess. The problem isn't that the cord keeps slipping. The older powerdrives have that D shaped stow and delploy handle. That was perfect to run the transducer wire through because it kept the wire out of the actual base mechanism of the motoer. The way mine is set up, I have it zip tied to the top. But that's only part of it. The wire then runs through the D handle and down to the head of the trolling motor. It keeps the wire free and stationary and allows the head of the motor to turn without the wire getting caught up. If you don't run it through the D shaped handle, it will get caught in the base part where the trolling motor mounts....the cord would rotate around with the head, and the slack would make it get caught every time you turn.
