Don, I just put a transducer up front for my 997. It works. As long as you are moving it works. 0.5 mph will work. As will sitting still and spinning the trolling motor. Not perfect on spinning the motor. My MK PD turns faster than I would like. But it works. And when keeping the motor straight and motoring along, works as well as any transom mount with gas motor.

I mounted a 15" flag pole up front with a RAM ball on top to raise the unit for better viewing. Feel free to hook up with me for a demo before you spend money.
