Xducer wiring idea for Humminbird 858

I got this working today and thought I would share it. I have a Humminbird 858c HD DI mounted on my bow and two down imaging transducers, one glued inside the hull under the front seat and one hanging off the stern. The system works great, some attenuation on the front Xducer, but all in all it's simply amazing in the detail it reads from either end of the boat. I have the TS3 switch mounted on the driver's console so that I can switch back and forth while moving from spot to spot.

Lots of questions...

1. Glass or aluminum boat?

2. What kind of "glue"?

3. How far forward is the front ducer?

4. Why not mount the front ducer on the trolling motor?

5. Can you sometime in the future post screen shots of the same structure with both ducers for comparison?

Not that I'm planning on doing this, just curious. Thanks.

2. What kind of "glue"? The epoxy that came from Humminbird

3. How far forward is the front ducer? Under the front seat

4. Why not mount the front ducer on the trolling motor? Don't always use the front trolling motor
