you want to get the minn kota mount that will let the trolling motor slide back about 6 inches to stow it so it is out of the way went you are trailering, putting your cover on for storage. It also let your take it completely off if you need to. As Corker said I don't know if you will like you lowrance on the troller as the cable wont go down the groove in the shaft and you cant tape it to it or anything like that. Get the ipilot link and a new 998 or 958 and then you can troll with it using follow the contour on the lake that have HD mapping
