Garmin Trolling Motor Mount for GT56UHD and GT36UHD

The Garmin Trolling Motor Mount for GT56UHD and GT36UHD provides a secure mounting solution for installing compatible Garmin Ultra High-Definition transducers directly onto a trolling motor. Designed for anglers who want their sonar transducer positioned at the trolling motor, this mounting configuration supports Garmin GT56UHD-TM and GT36UHD-TM transducers for detailed scanning sonar while fishing.

Garmin confirms that both transducers can be installed on a trolling motor as an alternative to a conventional transom installation. The official Garmin GT56UHD product page specifically lists trolling-motor installation as a supported mounting option.

Designed for GT56UHD and GT36UHD Transducers

The Garmin Trolling Motor Mount for GT56UHD and GT36UHD allows anglers to position a compatible transducer on the trolling motor rather than the boat’s transom.

Garmin’s official GT36UHD and GT56UHD installation instructions explain the trolling-motor mounting procedure, including mounting orientation and correct transducer-cable routing.

With GT56UHD, anglers can access Ultra High-Definition ClearVü and SideVü alongside high-wide CHIRP traditional sonar when connected to compatible Garmin marine electronics.

How to Use the Garmin Trolling Motor Mount

Attach the compatible Garmin transducer to the trolling motor mount using the specified screws and washers. Garmin’s instructions indicate that the transducer cable should be routed through an appropriate cable exit in the mount without pinching or bending the cable too tightly.

The assembled mount is secured around the trolling motor body using the mounting hardware. Position the transducer with its narrow end facing away from the propeller and align it parallel with the bottom when operating. Secure and route the cable so it cannot contact the propeller or become pinched while the trolling motor is deployed or stowed.
