    don't know where to tell you to put it, but I can tell you to forget US2 as the SI won't work with it. However you can mount the 'ducer on the Trolling motor, that's where mine is going when I get a chance to move a few things around. Nice Days = work days Bad days = days off. Just my luck

    I would say put ducer on transom that way you can mount on dash. Use the SI for scanning while behind the wheel. If you can turn it and see chart fine. Mount x85 to US2. If you can't see chart very well I would buy a second mount and switch to front for your chart.

    I have a R70 Ranger ...I mounted my SI at the wheel and my intentions was to swivel where I could see it at the front (I never do). Many that mount SI on the TM don't like it.
