Fishmedic Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I modified a Tru Trac Klincher to connect my coated cable to a Moore Sub Troll 900. I posted how to do it on another GL site and they ran it in their magazine. Some of you may have seen it and are using it. I posted it to help others who were having signal problems with their probes and it is easy enough to do yourself. It alows you to disconnect the probe whenever you need to. I have run this for five years now with no problems at depths even to 200 ft. Just replace the rivet in the klincher with a bolt and use a wire eye connector to the bolt. Circuit is complete with no bare wire. Moore now sells this with their probes. I should have pattened it!!!!!!!!!. here are a couple of pics.

GLF Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I dont know much about patents....maybe you can still patent it and charge others for using your patent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmedic Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I e-mailed Moore and they told me they had developed the connector six years before I did. Funny thing they did not have it in 2005 when I bought my probe from them. It wouldn't be worth trying to patent it. I posted it on the internet so others could make their own and save money. I did recieve a lot of nice replies from others who are using it. Thanks for your replies.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josey_Wales Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Right... they developed it 6 years ago... Thats like getting your car from the valet with a scratch in it, and them telling you it was already there.... Oh well...Kudos on your idea, and your willingness to share it with others.

Grant Sadler Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks for shareing this idea, I bought my 900 4yrs ago and there was nothing in the instructions about rigging it the way you have it, but it will be a winter project changing mine.Thanks, Thanks, Jim.

S. Yonker Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I went with a nylock nut as I had the standard nut back off while trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
