Using a Minn Kota Trolling Motor Transducer With a Garmin Marine Device

Minn Kota offers some trolling motors with a transducer built-in. These transducers operate at 83kHz and 200kHz. A few select Garmin devices can utilize these frequencies to connect these transducers to Garmin devices, use a Minn Kota adapter cable. The below lists are grouped by sonar pin configuration with the corresponding adapter part number. Once connected, refer to the Garmin device owner's manual and refer to "Selecting the Transducer Type" to select the Minn Kota option.
