Ok I haven't mounted a transducer on a trolling motor. I have a Matrix 17 unit and would like to try it out with the transducer on the trolling motor. I remember back in the day that when people started putting them on trolling motors there were some issues with the magnetic field coming off the trolling motor screwing up the transducer. Has this issue went away or are there still some trolling motors that are a problem. My trolling motor is a new MK. All Terrain not one of the Maximizer models. The reason I ask is my brother in law last year tried mounting a eagle unit on his MG trolliing motor and as soon as he hit the switch on the trolling motor the graph went south and never worked again. He hasn't replaced the transducer yet so he doesn't know if it was the graph or the transducer the went south. I don't want to fry my transducer if there is a chance that it might. I can't remember who on this board is the humminbird expert but if you can answer my question it would be great. I really like the Matix 17 and don't want to roast it. Thank for any info anyone has.:unsure:
