It carries traditional 83\/200 kHz 2D sonar and 455\/800 kHz high-definition down-looking sonar signals so you can read bottom and structure directly under the trolling motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the clean way to use the trolling motor’s built-in sonar without adding an external transducer to the bracket. It is meant for HD+ enabled motors and it is not compatible with Xi Series motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects MotorGuide Tour and Tour Pro HD+ sonar output to a Garmin 8-pin transducer port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePasses 83\/200 kHz 2D sonar and 455\/800 kHz high-definition down-looking sonar signals from the trolling motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Garmin GPSMAP and echoMAP series that use the Garmin 8-pin transducer connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarmin SV models that use a 12-pin sounder connection require Garmin 8-pin transducer to 12-pin Sounder Adapter Cable with XID (010-12122-10), sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with Xi Series motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse this cable only when you have a MotorGuide Tour or Tour Pro that is HD+ enabled and you want to plug that sonar into a Garmin unit with an 8-pin transducer input. If your Garmin unit does not have an 8-pin transducer port, confirm what adapter your display needs before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect the motor end to the HD+ sonar lead from the trolling motor, then connect the Garmin end to the display’s 8-pin transducer port. Route the cable with a gentle drip loop and secure it so it cannot rub on the shaft, hinge points, or steering cables when stowing and deploying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the cleanest sonar picture, keep sonar cabling separated from high-current trolling motor power wiring where possible, and use strain relief at the head unit so vibration and trailering do not pull on the connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for bow-mount setups where the angler wants sonar that tracks exactly where the trolling motor points, especially on bass boats and multi-species rigs that run Garmin electronics at the bow. It also helps on boats where you want fewer exposed transducer mounts and a simpler rigging layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan itemprop=\"mpn\" hidden\u003e8M4004178\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"MotorGuide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53721540952245,"sku":"QBP417557","price":77.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1280691_qbp417557.jpg?v=1794117497","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp417557","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
