You will need either the Humminbird AD-XTM9 Trolling Motor Adapter bracket or one from an aftermarket company like Transducer Shield & Saver. Better call for one though as I don’t know if Scap has them up on his web site yet.

thanks greg i was going to ask about how to mount on trolling motor . i will ask for more help soon when i get time. really dont have a lot of time right now .i did make a quick temp. install tonight. things went very well. directions were easy to follow. from what i have seen so far useing the the sim. mold im more than pleased. as a matter of fact im really shocked as to how quick it changes from one screen to another much quicker than my 997 and the sceen is very clear. it must have a faster processor . im glad that ive got it.i really really like the 2d over di screen its going to help me see bottom hardness much easer. heres a picture that i took when i get time ill update for everbody

Have you used it on the water yet? I was blown away by the demo at first also. I see you have a motor guide trolling motor. Is it a varible speed motor. If it is be prepared to possibly have electrical interference. I had to insulate the transducer with rubber, ground the skeg, put on a new power cable from humminbird and run a new hot,ground wire from my starting battery (away from any other wires) in order to solve my electrical interference problem. Before that the digital depth would not match the bottom reading, the depth would go from 20 to 1000 feet , and lines would flow across the screen when you stepped on the switch to the trolling motor. One particular problem I still have is that when you put the map on course up it keeps switching back and forth from course up to north up even when I maintain a true south course. This can be confusing when you are in open water. This is not a "donut" effect as I was traveling @1.9 miles per hour with the current and the wind. I also have a lowerance unit and have never expierienced this with that unit. The down imaging pictures are however very good.
