Mounting a Transducer at the front of my boat

[c21fishing]

I am looking to add a second fishfinder on the front of my boat i am just wondering where people mount the transducer for the bow mounted finder . thanks

Mount the transducer to your bow mount trolling motor, assuming you have one on your boat. If you have 2 transducers on your transom that are the same frequency, they will interfer in really shallow water. If you have 1 transducer on your bow and 1 on your transom you should be able to get to 25+ fow before they start to interfer. Hope this helps and good luck.

how is it mounted to the trolling motor

Lowrance and Humminbird both have mounts or adapters for their transducers, and there's a good one made by Rig Rite as well which is universal. Basically the transducer mount is attached to the trolling motor with a big hose clamps which fits around the lower unit, and the transducer cable is zip-tied to the top and bottom of the trolling motor shaft (you need to leave a little slack for turning, and stowing and deploying the motor). It works well.
