You are supposed to contact humminbird and they will swap out your transom mount trasducer for a trolling motor transducer for free. There are specific transducers made for the trolling motor.

chuck, i am assuming you are talking about on the trolling motor?

here is what i used to do and what i do now

i used to use a large hose clamp, well i like to fish in timbered up areas alot and i kept tearing up tansducers, at like 40-70$ a piece[:@]

now i use nothing but tie wraps, if i tear the tansducer off, i simple pull the TM up and put on a couple of new ties, for me it is the cheapest and most time efficiant thing to do;), i'll try to do some pics but i am very busy as it is haying time here;)

Thanks for replying MT..listen ..if you and your wife plan ot come ot Lakeland..you guys can take out my boat..give me 30 days in advance ot make you a reservation for Fish Hook...

Here's the way I hooked up mine.

I drilles and bolted a piece of pressure treated into the trolling motor shield..and then screwed the transducer to the wood. working good so far..
See where I also drilled another hole to run a tie down.I also wrapped electrical tape to keep the transducer cable out of the way.

With the right transducer a simple hose clamp works great. Heres mine.

yep goherd is dead on, the tolling motor transducers mount a whole lot more flush, the only thing i didn't care for was when i used a hose clamp i tore up a lot of transducers, if your fishing "clean water" then its probably no big deal, the trash i fish i need something, well cheaper;), now with a couple of good tie wraps, if itear it off no big deal, as i always keep spares in the boat;)

i run through some rough stuff (trolling motor is only a year old.[:@]) and i've never had a problem with it - i've had to pull up the motor and straighten it out before though.
