I am actually asking about the self leveling part. There is a battery connection on the cable also? yes I have looked all over the net for instructions but cannot find any. Tks.

It attaches to the soft bag kits/fish finder stands swing out arm.

I dont really like it on mine but you can modify it to work with an Aqua vu stopper and eliminate the wire piece.

Will see if I can get a pic.

Here is a picture:

Fishfinder needs to be level. Wire (small L) goes thru transducer and is self leveling(swings). Hope that helps.

However, as I said you can use Aqua vu stopper on the transducer cable in place of the wire holder.

Or you can attach a float if you do not have the swing arm.

Ok thanks a lot for your help. Will go with the float and stopper might be simpler.

I have the hole piece that Huntsfurfish posted if you want it for free, I just let my transducer hang to the bottom of the hole on the cable
