Where would you mount it? Trolling motor or rear of boat. I have read somewhere that SI is not good on the TM.

I have mine mounted on the rear of my right pontoon. I am usually searching for bait and stripers. My only issue is that I can't quite get it low enough in the water. I thought it was the main engine wire "causing noise" in the line and screen, actually it was air/turbulence because it was not deep enough. I really like the unit. I still have my fish ID on, which people make fun of me for...but my daughterand wife likes to see all the "fishies" I can keep them on the water for hours, as loong as they know there are possible bites there.

Let them make fun. When I first got my 798 ci si unit mounted at trolling motor my tournament partner & I went to Green River Lake to fish, but mosyly experiment. I moved it from console to trolling motor I might add. I used the fish id when I went to split screen the 2-d & down Imaging. You could see a school of bait come on screen in 2-d, but when you saw a school come on screen with fish id symbols showing up in them you coull literelly drop straight down & put fish in the boat. When there weren't any symbols in the baitfish school you never got bit. You tell me what could possibly be the problem with that ???
