<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">OTS have done something clever. The OTS transducer has only two contacts, but the when you use the factory cable for mounting the transducer remotely you will
notice the cable connector has three contacts. What they are doing is using two of them (#1 and #3) connected together to act as a switch, so that when you plug in the cable the OTS box turns on. I think if you keep your current arrangement, but also connect
contacts 1 and 3, you might find it works.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="NL">I suspect the problem is that i cut the transducer cable to pass it through a sub conn bulkhead connector. When you plus the transducer into the unit, that is supposed to turn it on at the same time, but nothing. Suspect
no signal from the transducer so unit not switching on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
