I posted some questions on mounting the xducer on the trolling motor in the electronics forum and got some good info. I have a few questions for yall on the mounting of the actual unit. In your opinion what is the best mounting option for the front of the boat? I was considering buying a ram mount or building an aluminum mount a little shorter than my hitech rod holder. The only thing i'm not happy with so far is the short power cord that they include. I'm going to need a longer one to mount the head unit like i discussed above. I just dont understand why they would not provide a sufficient length power cord, I cant imagine the cord being long enough to reach a battery on any boat whether at the front or rear. Does anyone have a cord that is 4-5 feet they would like to part with?
