I mounted a 1/2 thick piece of 4inch by 3 foot aluminum to the front of my bass tracker and then mounted a old trolling motor bracket to the aluminum. I've been using it for over 2 years now and it works great. I also mounted my side imaging transducer to the old trolling motor bracket so now its up front. One added benefit of this is I can grab the bar holding the transducer and twist it a 1/4 turn and my side imaging is looking forward and reverse.
