I wanted to add side scan to the front of my boat, but did not want to mount the transducer on the bottom of the trolling motor where it would turn with the motor and potentially bump rocks. I took some inspiration from the Humminbird 360 mounts that use a separate shaft attached to the trolling motor to mount the triple shot transducer off a little to the side (so down imaging has a clear shot to the bottom) and lined up right with the center line of the boat. Used schedule 80 PVC for the shaft and a couple of kennel clamps to secure it to the upper part of the trolling motor shaft. The bottom of the transducer is 1.5 inches above motor's blade, however the blade is only near the transducer when pointed dead backwards. I can loosen the clamps, if I want to, and turn the shaft to any setting I want. Thought that might be handy if I ever want to turn the transducer 90 degrees and use it as a forward facing horizontal sonar.
