I believe the low end Lowrance and Eagles use the skimmer transducer that can be attached to the trolling motor foot with a large pipe clamp.:fish
Not for sure what your budget is but the Humminbird 570 can be had for about $190 and comes with a transducer. Good unit for the price.

But you must buy another mount to use it on a trolling motor. Those 570 are good but I thought he was looking low end with transducer ready to mount on TM foot with a pipe clamp. You can find other units for less than 1/2.Quote:

F1 it always helps if you give a general idea what your budget is. One guys cheap might be different than yours. Lots of good inexpensive units out there today but don't know of one that comes with a trolling motor transducer. You could contact Brian at BBG marine and he will know for sure. If you find a deal on one of the Lowrance or Eagle with skimmer transducer the adapter is not that expensive. True trolling motor transducer for those units is a little pricy. I have both on a couple of old trolling motors and actually prefer the skimmer.
the majority, if not all transom transducers can be mounted on the TM with a $15 adaptor, so find the FF that fits the budget and mount it up with the adaptor. It does look like a xtra large radiator hose clamp.
You can use the mount that comes with the 570. Just turn the transom mount over like this and use a Metal clamp that you can get at any hardware store to attach it. It may not be perfect but it will work.
