This small Garmin protective cone is designed to replace the standard nose section of 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 provides several benefits:

Physical protection: It shields 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 hazards.

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

No, this protective cone is compatible with a range of Garmin GT sounders, 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 for use 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 protective cone is specifically designed for Garmin GT transducer integration and protection. 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 verify 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. While the cone is an accessory, its installation is tied to mounting the transducer on the trolling motor, which can be complex. If you’re not comfortable with this type of installation, it’s 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 own mounting instructions to ensure it is securely fastened and that its cable is properly routed to avoid any interference or damage.

Garmin documentation recommends preparing the transducer and mounting hardware with water-based antifouling paint if the boat spends a lot of time in the water. It is important to lightly sand the surface with a fine abrasive pad, wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol, then apply the water-based antifouling paint. It is crucial not to use acetone or acetone-based products, as this would damage the plastic housing.

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

The protective cone is designed for secure integration of the transducer into 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 depends on the correct installation of the transducer and cone according to Garmin's instructions.

The depth sounder 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 ensure 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 bent too sharply, especially when the trolling motor is deployed or stowed.Route away from interference: Run the cable away from ignition wires, battery and accessory wiring, trolling motor wiring, and high-energy wires (radar, audio amplifier, autopilot pump) to minimize noise and interference.
