I mounted my transducer on bottom of motor with transducer saver. Used a 1/4" clear plastic water line split down side and put transducer cable inside for protection. Used 1/16" x 1 1/2" flat alum strap around shaft above depth stop knob use bolt to clamp it to shaft loose enough to turn . Let it extend out about 8" and zip tie hose with cable inside to end of bracket. You need slick in cord and bracket to turn when using spot lock. Just need to keep eye on cable when deploying. Very little cost and time, bought parts at Lowes.
