Also, I don't know how I'm gonna clear the motor with the side imaging.....

I have the Helix 10 Mega si. As you can see from the pics my transducer will scan into the motor when fully trimmed down. All I have to do is trim motor up a little and it is no problem. The new Mega transducers are pretty big and while I have not seen them mounted on every boat out there, the ones I have seen, that are mounted on transom......have to trim their motors up a little also. It is not a big deal. My boat has no rivets so can't help you there.....but as you see it has a transducer plate built onto it.....really works out well. The images I get......IMHO.....are good.
