Small protective cone, compatible with GT54 transducer

This Garmin small protection cone is designed to replace the standard nose section of the Garmin Force and Force Pro trolling motors. Its main purpose is to allow integration and protection of a compatible Garmin GT transducer.

Using this cone offers several advantages:

Physical protection: It protects the transducer from impacts and underwater debris.Clean integration: It enables a neat and secure installation of the transducer directly inside the trolling motor.Cable management: It allows routing the transducer cable through the motor shaft, preventing clutter and snagging risks.

The Garmin small protection cone (reference 010-12832-20) is an accessory that replaces the standard part at the nose of your Garmin Force or Force Pro trolling motor.

No, this protective cone is compatible with a range of Garmin GT transducers, including those with ClearVü and SideVü capabilities (such as the GT54, GT24, GT52), but also other models like the GT22. It is designed for Garmin GT transducers in general.

No, the Garmin small protective cone (part number 010-12832-20) is sold separately. It is an accessory designed to be used with compatible Garmin GT transducers, such as the GT54, GT22, GT24, and GT52, but the transducer itself is not included.

This Garmin protection cone is specifically designed to be compatible with Garmin Force and Garmin Force Pro trolling motors.

This protective cone is compatible with several Garmin GT transducer models, including:

GT54 transducer
GT22 transducer
GT24 transducer
GT52 transducer

No, this protection cone is specifically designed for the integration and protection of Garmin GT transducers. It is not compatible with transducers from other brands due to design and dimensional differences.

No, this protective cone is specifically compatible with Garmin Force and Garmin Force Pro trolling motors. It is not designed for use with other Garmin motor models or brands.

The cone is compatible with GT22, GT24, GT52 and GT54 transducers. For older Garmin GT transducers or other series, it is recommended to check specific compatibility with reference 010-12832-20, but the listed models are the officially supported ones.

When installing with this protective cone, the depth sounder cable is designed to be routed optimally through the trolling motor shaft. This ensures a clean installation, reduces snagging risks, and protects the cable.

Garmin's general documentation recommends that marine equipment be installed by a qualified marine installer to ensure optimal performance and avoid damaging your boat. Although the cone is an accessory, its installation is tied to mounting the transducer on the trolling motor, which can be complex. If you are not comfortable with this type of installation, it is best to hire a professional.

Yes, Garmin’s technical documentation clearly states that cutting the transducer cable will void your warranty. It is therefore imperative not to cut the depth sounder cable when installing it with the protective cone.

The protective cone is designed to integrate the transducer optimally into the nose of the Garmin Force or Force Pro trolling motor. Once the transducer is correctly installed inside the cone and the cone is mounted on the motor, alignment is generally ensured by the motor's design. The key is to follow the transducer's mounting instructions to ensure it is securely fastened and that its cable is properly routed to avoid interference or damage.

Garmin documentation recommends preparing the transducer and mounting hardware with water-based antifouling paint if the boat spends extended periods in the water. Lightly sand the surface with a fine abrasive pad, wipe it with isopropyl alcohol, then apply the water-based antifouling paint. Do not use acetone or acetone-based products, as they will damage the plastic housing.

Yes, one of the primary functions of this small protective cone is to provide physical protection to the integrated Garmin GT transducer. It is designed to help shield the transducer from impacts and debris that may be encountered underwater during trolling motor use.

The protective cone is designed for secure integration of the transducer in the nose of the trolling motor, providing protection against the marine environment. It is part of a system intended to operate underwater and shield the transducer's internal components. The watertightness of the assembly will depend on the correct installation of the transducer and cone according to Garmin's instructions.

The depth sounder transducer cable must be routed through the shaft of the Garmin Force or Force Pro trolling motor. Ensure the cable is not pinched or bent too sharply. Additionally, avoid running it near electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference to maintain optimal sonar performance.

Yes, several precautions must be taken:

Do not cut the cable: Cutting the depth sounder cable will void the warranty.Avoid pinching: Ensure the cable is not pinched or sharply bent, especially when the trolling motor is deployed or stowed.Keep away from interference: Route the cable away from ignition wires, batteries and accessory wiring, trolling motor wires, and high-energy wires (radar, audio amplifier, autopilot pump) to minimize noise and interference.
