Location: Oconto Falls, WI | OK here are the pictures of how I have my transducer cables run on my Terrova. I have three cabels for my Vexilar (two transducers and a temp probe) so I have them taped up to form one large cable.
Basically I taped my cable at the base of the motor housing using electrical tape. If you tape on the shaft you will not be able to slide the motor into stowing position. I then have a cable tie above my stop color at the top to hold the wire to the shaft, loosely. I actually have mine about 1-2 clicks too tight right now as when I turn the motor sometimes the wire moves with the shaft. If it was a bit loos the shaft will turn and leave your cable where it is at.
When I raise and lower the motor I just be careful not to pinch my cables at the hinge point.
At first I routed my cable through the coiled wire of the trolling motor unit, but that didn't work for me like it did with my Power Drive prior to this. When I lowered my motor the coil would pinch my locator cables not allowing them to slide freely with the shaft.
Hope this helps.
