    Default Powerdrive transducer solution!


    It was a gamble but it worked and it's so much nicer not worrying about shredding my cable deploying and reversing.

    I drilled the housing at the base of the shaft and ran the transducer cord inside the motor shaft.Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1375577998.855916.jpg

    Will do! I ran it today so far so good. See how it fairs after bouncing it off a few stumps.

    I have a couple of old hand controls I drilled the shaft just above the motor on. Cut cable and feed it up through the shaft then spliced. Used the same epoxy and they have been like that for 12/15 years with out a problem.

    How many wires are inside the TD main wire/cable ??
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I'd be concerned about the bond between the epoxy and the cable. I think I'd goob the whole works over with some RTV.
