There are so many options. There are several mounts you can buy for the screen itself (ram mount is a good one). As for the transducer, it depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want 2D, many trolling motors now adays have built in US (universal sonar) for 2D. Anything other than 2D, most guys will mount the transducer to the bottom of the trolling motor. Like I said it just depends on what you want up front. Myself, I just run GPS and 2D up front. A lot of people like having DI (down imaging) and/or SI (Side imaging) up front thought also. Its all just whatever you want to do/want to spend.
