Have a MK 55 copilot powerdrive w/wireless pedal. How do you guys attach your transducer for a front graph? If pictures are available would be great! It is not as easy as my 65 Maxxum. It came with the boat so I am trying to adapt. Thanks for any advice you can give!

Hiya,

There is a transducer bracket you can buy where you can attach a high speed transom mount transducer to, then the whole assembly is attached to the motor in front of the prop with a big pipe clamp.

Once the transducer is mounted, drill a small hole in the little supporting fin above the motor housing to attach a small wire clamp to and run your wire through that.

From there, run the wire up and through the grab handle of the main framing of the motor, and on up to just below the head of the unit. Bar tie and/or electrical tape here, leaving a little slack in the transducer wire.

Finally, run the wired down and through the coils toward the main frame of the motor again. I took a bit of electrical tape and wrapped the transducer cord and the coil right up by the head of the unit.
