    The trolling motor is a good place to put it, I have had mine mounted there on three different boats now.

    majority mount the 'ducer on the TM based on pics, etc., depending on type of boat, you could do the thru the hull thing, really depends on where you want it, and if it gives a good picture when mounted.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    How would you secure it? With Screw clamps?

    A large radiator type hose clamp will work....They make transducer mounts for trolling motors and they come with the clamp etc. Whatever brand of Fish Finder you have , just go to their website and check it out.

    Pictures of a skimmer mounted on the TM with a clamp. Just bend the transom mounting bracket ears just a little to match the shape of the TM and clamp it on.
