Electrician’s tape for emergency repairs

Make sure you carry some electrician’s tape with you when you go fishing and keep it handy. If you knock the transducer off the bottom of your trolling motor on a stump or rock, you can always tape it back on with the tape and go back to fishing. The impulses from the fish finder will shoot through the tape and will also be picked up by the transducer again. Just make sure that when you tape the transducer to the trolling motor, you tape it as straight down as possible. It’ll get you through a day of fishing – trust me.
