So, I just got my first fishfinder and am really excited. I have a question though whether to mount the transducer on the front with the trolling motor(which is where I will be doing most of my fishing and where the unit will be located) or on the back on the transom(which is actually more...

Keeps the water out, I suppose.... :roll: :D

I agree!

Ha, yea - ebay isnt so forgiving right now .. :cry:

Here's the new transom mounted.. Then painted.. And, here's the lower decking that I cut out- will eventually get to carpeting it.

Very nice...i really like the way that mini jacker looks and works- but don't like the price too much. I'm getting a buddy of mine to weld me a metal bracket to mount on top of my transom. Will post some pics today of the work I got in..

Here's some of the work I got done tonight... Cut out the middle bench seat... :) And, made cutouts of my new transom with the old as a template....you can see what kind of condition that old transom was - and that's the good piece, the other was horrible! So, I went ahead and got some...

I think I might just go without a jack plate for the time being until I can find one at a good price...I'm cheap :)

The transom boards were rotted pretty bad. I took them out last night - I'll try to post some pics tonight when I get home. As far as the motor sitting a little deep...should I just disregard? As I am not going to be doing a whole lot of really shallow fishing, or should I get a jack plate...

Pics would be awesome!

That sounds like a really thick transom...I'm afraid if I did that I'd have to move my knee brace back some, and I'd really like to try and avoid that.. :lol:

Here are the measurements on the motor... The red line is measured accurately (15"), but the blue line is not as precise (~18"). I am not sure which one I have to align with the bottom of my boat. The transom is 15" deep.
