not sure if you know, but the mount it comes with unbolts from the base and is used as a mount to what ever you want to bolt that to. you can make quick connects for adding longer wire for boat and shorten it for back into the ice pac/shuttle.
the transducer fits both ways, troller and or transome. i played around with the ice ducer in my kayak and mounted the head unit to the yaks dashboard. needs to be glued in with goop, but not sure i need one in the yak yet being i cast towards shore and they don't look towards shore.
would be okay for drift fishing in it tho.
