As you turn the trolling motor, does it mess up the side scan? Seems like it would. Now if you're just lookig straight down, don't guess it would matter.

I don't think I would mount it on the Trolling Motor. You need a straight line of travel, that is almost impossible to get with the TM, to get a true image of the bottom. Check out the link Stoner sent they cover all of this on there.
