My luck I would dislodge it or break it with gear. :) And the Biggest Bonus of all, makes it completely portable, I can use it on any one of my W's. I also can beach my W even with it down, but I've made the arm so it's able to swing up and rest on the saddle at landing. All safe and sound from damage. Pretty sure I have some pictures up on the Blog of this set up. Good luck. P.S. Make sure all your connections are tight, and check your connectors to the battery. If they get loose, you could melt a wire, this happened to me. Not to bad after 2 years of hooking and unhooking the battery. :) My minn-kota 60amp breaker protected my motor as it should. Tight lines Rox John,

I'm in the process of installing one in my 500 and have the option of installing the transducer inside the hull at the cost of losing the temp function. Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

And what a blow by blow account of the fight! Congratulations on your catch and release! Am finally in the last stages of my trolling motor conversion and hopefully only a day or so from trying my luck on some bass (although I only catch small ones). John Z What a bass!

That is one nice northern largemouth bass. Must have been blast on a drop shot rig. I really need to target some largemouths here but that darn saltwater keeps calling my name. The sad part is freshwater is right here at the end of the block on the St Johns and saltwater is 26 miles away. Nice job Rox, you had one heck of nice day.
