It's fairly common to mount transducers on tm's...just make sure you have the right transducer and mounting bracket for that purpose...mounting bracket is usually a hose clamp (at least that's what they look like).
Good Luck

thanks for the info, been putin out alot of brush piles last couple of months and its easier to controll and fish the boat from the front
How old is your trolling motor? Some older TMs generate a lot of rf noise. Don't tie (wire ties) your transponder wiring to the TM power wiring. This can cause strange indications at the Sonar display. Just to let u know....
