Thread: 12' semi-V using trolling motor only. Mount transducer on motor or transom?

I'm going to be installing the transducer for a Helix 7 with Mega-SI on an aluminum 12' semi-V. I use a transom mounted trolling motor as the only propulsion for the boat and I take the trolling motor off each time I'm finished fishing.

I bought the mounting bracket below but I'm wondering if I should mount the transducer offset to one side of the trolling motor using that bracket or onto the trolling motor itself? If I mount it offset onto the transom, I'm worried about the trolling motor blocking some of the side imaging.
