I, personally, never look at the arrow.. run be "feel" ..when you are running the boat from the trolling motor, you can sense which way the boat is going. Run by "feel" and you will become a much better trolling motor operator.. and a BETTER Fisherperson!!! This way you NEVER have to look down just to see where you are going...this is what really amateur fisherman do!! PRACTICE running the trolling motor TOO!!
Install the battery cables to the battery for the gas motor.
Here is a transducer installation guide for Lowrance, this is pretty standard for all transducers. Pay attention to how the boat sits in the water when trolling for level setting to match in water.
Depending on the year model you may be able to adjust the mixture leaner for higher altitude. That adjustment was traditionally out of the very top of the carb pointing straight at you. Screw it in(gently- it's not a wood screw). Then out 1/2 turn at altitude.
Hey 217,
Get a sheet of 3/16" aluminum plate that is at least twice as wide as your trolling motor mount and at least 12" longer than the mount. Secure the plate to the current deck.. align the front edge flush.
You might want to radius the edges of the plate and secure it with rounded head sheet metal screws.. This will make the mount much stronger and last!!
There should be a couple of allen screws on the shaft that you can loosen, which should allow you to swing the motor head in the direction you want it to be pointing for the desired pedal position. Tighten and carry on.
