After I bought it and went to mount the transducer on the bottom of the trolling motor, I then learned there was no way the transducer would fit my 45lb motor. Armed with that knowledge I not only spoke to HB, but also researched the issue. Sure enough, there was "no way" to mount the transducer as I wanted. HB thinks they provided enough information for me to know this prior to purchase. I disagree of course. Their ads could have made a statement something like "Transducer requires an 85 lb thrust trolling motor for mounting." OK. I'm done ranting. Thank you so much for your post, it was very informative.
I don't believe it is shaft length dependent. I believe the Mega ducers don't fit on the 12volt TM. Must be a 24volt TM for them to fit. And yes, HB could should post pyhsical dimensions of thier products so we could make educated decisions.
