2007 Montauk 170--routing SONAR transducer cable
Posted: Mon May 21, 2018 11:07 am
Hi all,
Per the Boston Whaler manual for a 170 MONtAUK, it appears the factory wants you to drill a hole in the transom, then route the transom mount transducer cable through that hole you drilled, into the chase pipe and ultimately into the console. The plug end on this Totalscan transducer is all of 1 inch. Trying to see if there are any tips on how to run it into the console before I dig in.
For ground and 12V, factory manual says to run the ground to the ground bus bar and the 12V to the Main 30 amp fuse. Would installing a Blue Sea fuse panel, running 12-Volts for the Blue Sea fuse panel to the common post on the Perko 1/2/Off/Both battery selector switch make more sense?. Going to be adding the VHF, chartplotter, and bluetooth dongle at this point, but the Bluetooth dongle gets its power on from the radio amplifier, so the fuse box is really just for VHF and chartplotter.
Thanks for any insight and tips--Joseph
