    Transducer placement/battery question?

    I need to mount the transducer for a new Helix 8 Mega-SI Chirp Gen4 to a 12 foot inflatable pontoon. Any suggestions best place to mount it? It has an aluminum floor, 2 PVC pontoons, no real transom although a small board could be added.

    And a stupid question - the pontoon is powered by a 12V 55 lb thrust bow trolling motor so that is the only battery on the boat - can the Helix run off that too or do I need something in addition to that?

    Thx

    Could you put the transducer on the TM?
