[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 115371, member: 863"] Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it a lot! I've made some steady progress, some of what I'm doing now is pretty time consuming. The fishfinder is mounted and wired up, except for the transducer- it is waiting to be hooked up to the trolling motor. I built a support in the very back for the battery tray to sit on, so it doesn't damage the boat as I drive down the road. I designed and built my trolling motor bracket/support/whateveryouwanttocallit, and last night I attached the trolling motor mount to it. I think it's a sturdy and useable design. That whole assembly is just sitting on the boat right now, but you can tell in the pics how it will line up once it is bolted down. When the TM is in the water, the shaft will be about 3 1/2" from the front lip of the boat, so it has room to break away if I hit anything. Here are a couple of pics. Again, the TM bracket isn't attached to the boat, but the TM mount is attached to the bracket. I didn't have to drill any holes to run the fishfinder cables, the front lip that supports the deck doesn't go all the way to the side, so there's enough of a gap to run the cables where I have them. No risk of anything getting crimped. [/QUOTE]
