    So I just installed my second transducer and removed my 360 setup. I went with a the fish obsessed zero degree mount / spacer for my forward transducer, and its located just above the head of the trolling motor. The fish obsessed zero degree mount has a large spacer which allows a clear picture.

    My perspective mode mount is a fish obsessed mount I have partway up the shaft. I used this mount as I wanted to be able to adjust the angle of perspective mode. My initial setup I had it too high on the trolling motor shaft and was right at the water surface. Last night I re-adjusted and it should be better. Wouldn't call myself an expert with perspective mode, but I hated my 360 setup and preferred another garmin graph. The other upside is if my regular forward transducer goes out, I can adjust the fish obsessed mount to forward mode and I have a backup transducer.

    Great info. I'm going to start with one on the barrel of the trolling motor. Then I ordered a fish obsessed mount for perspective for the adjustability. I'm going to start there and see how I like it. Thanks for the reply and sounds like your setup is the way to go for sure.

    The one upside to using the fish obsessed spacer and zero degree mount is you don't have to deal with that 8 degree angle anymore. Not that it was a huge issue before, but I definitely could notice having to move the cone sometimes on long casts to pick up my bait. Plus it's still above the barrel of the trolling motor so in theory will be a little more protected.

    One thing I don't like about the fish obsessed mount is the actual transducer mounting hardware. If it ever comes loose you have to completely take the mount apart to tighten it, not a great design on an otherwise solid product imo.
