Bow Mount Fish Finder Question

[Guest]

I have an 05 Tracker. My only fishfinder is on the rear of the boat and I have a Motor Guide Trolling motor up front. How and where can I mount a front Fish Finder???

Are you looking to set up another, or try to utilize the same in both spots? The easiest is to get another finder. Both scenerio's will require purchases. At the very least you would need another power cord.

Trolling motor mount (LEI makes them - probably other too) to match whatever you want for a depthfinder on the front. I like the TM mount better than the thru-hull on front (personal preference).

I like to have a flasher style locator mounted to the trolling motor. It gives you real time depth reading which allows you to stay on structure or a certain depth better.You can get a vexilar trolling motor transduces and all the mounting brackets and cable for about 60$. Good luck.

you can mount almost any type of locator transducer to a trolling motor, by just taking the flat bracket that comes with; bending the corners a little so you can run a hose clamp through the ears, and long enough to go around the trolling motor.then taping or using the little plastic zip ties to fasten the cable to the shaft.( just be certain to allow for clearance for the motor to turn ,and for stowing it. every one has a preference as to which locator to buy. shop around and see what one fits your needs and budget!

On my Hummingbird I have one transducer on the transom and one on my trolling motor (bow mount) and select which to use by a flip of a switch. Although I like the setup, it would be good to be able to read depth at the front of the boat without having the electric down.

yeah, I',m looking for another setup for a fish finder.. I do have a second fishfinder sitting around. I just need to get it installed and what not.
