    Great fish ... !!

    You could possibly tweak the xducer down a little and see if you can keep it in the water at higher speed ...

    Just realize that the farther down on the transom = the more possibility of knocking it off with floating debris ...

    If you don't need high speed readings and your idle speed scanning results are satisfactory ... You just need to post up some images for us ...

    We like pix ...

    Does Humminbird offer a transducer mount or transducer for mounting on a trolling motor for the helix 5 si gps ?

    You can buy the adapter bracket that will work with the stock XNT 9 SI 180 T ...
    Humminbird | AD XTM 9

    Or you can get the TM puck style housing xducer ...
    Humminbird | XTM 9 SI 180 T

    Or you can get the upgrade XNT 9 HDSI 180 T and get better detailed 455kHz SI images ...
    Humminbird | XTM 9 HDSI 180 T

    If you have not used the stock XNT 9 SI 180 T yet ...you can take advantage of HB's xducer exchange program ...
    What should I do if I need a transducer other than the transom mount included in the box of my Humminbird unit?

    Thanks Rickie, that's just the information I needed. I have not installed the unit yet. I will check my paper work before I install any of it. Thanks again
