Minn Kota MKR-US2-11 Universal Sonar 2 Extension

Enhance your fishing setup with the Minn Kota Universal Sonar 2 extension cable, designed to give you more flexibility when connecting your fishfinder to the US2 transducer on your trolling motor. This robust extension adds a full 14-1/2 feet of length—equivalent to 175 inches—allowing you to position your display unit exactly where you need it, whether that's up on the console or closer to the bow for quick glances while casting. Anglers who demand precision in reading water conditions swear by this cable for maintaining crystal-clear sonar signals without compromise.

Why Every Serious Angler Needs This Extension Cable

Picture this: you're out on the water, chasing bass in shallow coves or walleye in deeper structures, but your fishfinder cable just won't reach. Short cables limit your options, forcing awkward mounts or signal drop-offs. The MKR-US2-11 solves that by extending your reach seamlessly. It supports Universal Sonar 2's advanced features, including precise water temperature sensing and DualBeam PLUS technology (200 kHz single beam or 200/83 kHz dual beam), delivering detailed bottom contours, fish arches, and temp breaks that help you make smarter decisions on the fly.

Crafted with IP68-rated waterproofing, this cable laughs off splashes, rain, and submersion, standing up to the harshest marine environments. Shielded construction paired with metal-tipped connectors minimizes interference, ensuring your sonar data stays pure and reliable—no more ghosting or fuzzy returns ruining your day.

Key Features That Set It Apart

• Generous 14-1/2 Foot Extension: Perfect for bridging the gap between your trolling motor's US2 transducer and any fishfinder brand.
• Interference-Free Design: Metal connectors and shielding block out electrical noise from the motor or nearby electronics.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with all Minn Kota US2 adapter plugs, pairing effortlessly with popular fishfinders like Lowrance, Humminbird, Garmin, and more.
• Rugged Durability: Fully waterproof and built to last through seasons of heavy use.

Real-World Benefits for Better Fishing

Extending your sonar cable isn't just about length—it's about freedom. Mount your fishfinder higher for better visibility during high-speed runs, or route it cleanly along gunwales to avoid snags. The water temp sensing shines for targeting species like stripers following thermal layers or crappie schooled over structure. DualBeam PLUS gives you wide coverage for searching and narrow precision for pinpointing, all without losing quality over distance.

Fishermen report fewer missed bites thanks to consistent readings, and the easy plug-and-play setup means less time tinkering and more time hooking fish. Backed by a solid warranty, it's a smart investment that pays off trip after trip.

Quick Installation Tips

Getting this extension online is straightforward. Simply disconnect your existing US2 adapter cable from the transducer and fishfinder, then plug in the MKR-US2-11 between them. Secure any excess length with zip ties or cable clips to prevent dragging in the water. Test your sonar right away to confirm beams are firing strong—adjust fishfinder settings if needed for optimal DualBeam performance. Pro tip: Keep connectors dry during install to maximize the IP68 seal's longevity.

Caring for Your Extension Cable

To keep it performing like new, rinse with fresh water after saltwater trips, inspect for frays or corrosion seasonally, and store coiled loosely in a dry spot. Avoid sharp bends near connectors, as this preserves signal integrity over time. With proper care, it'll serve reliably for years.
