Designed for ActiveTarget Live Sonar

ActiveTarget live sonar allows anglers to observe fish and underwater structure in real time through a compatible Lowrance display. Correct transducer mounting is important because transducer orientation determines the area being viewed.

Lowrance ActiveTarget systems support multiple viewing orientations depending on the transducer and mounting arrangement. This lets anglers configure the system around different fishing situations.

For current installation and operating information, consult Lowrance’s official manuals and software resources before setting up your system.

Benefits of a Trolling Motor Shaft Mount

Mounting an ActiveTarget transducer on the trolling motor shaft positions the sonar equipment near the bow. Because the transducer moves as the trolling motor shaft turns, anglers can use the motor’s direction to help aim the live sonar toward areas they want to investigate.

This configuration can be useful when searching around structure, following fish movement or examining specific underwater targets.

How to Use the Lowrance ActiveTarget Shaft Mount

Before installation, confirm that the mount matches your specific ActiveTarget transducer and trolling motor configuration.

Secure the mount around the trolling motor shaft according to Lowrance’s instructions, then attach the compatible ActiveTarget transducer in the orientation required for your desired sonar view.

Route the transducer cable carefully along the trolling motor assembly. Leave enough slack for normal steering, deployment and stowing while preventing the cable from contacting the propeller or becoming trapped by moving components.

After installation, connect the ActiveTarget system to a compatible Lowrance display and verify the transducer orientation. Test the sonar view on the water and make any permitted adjustments according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
