Post Marine Electronics on a Mud Hull with SD?
I have a few weeks left until my Uncle J and GT XD are completed.

I have purchased most of the things I need like trolling motor. I have yet to purchase any electronics.

Are there any particulars with mounting fish finders and GPS on aluminum hulls with SD motors?

I will use the boat for fishing more than hunting. Any recommendations for electronics?

Search. There was a thread not long ago. There were a few options for transducer mounting, and there are a bunch of threads from people long gone from mmt how they mounted different items

Could you use thru hull like we do with our kayaks? Guaranteed that it will not be drug off or damaged. I cut wax paper and wrapped square foam and built a containment "pond" for the epoxy I used. Mix it thin so it will flow in and around the transducer encapsulating completely.

I am going to do the same thing under the floor between it and the hull.

I mounted mine with a adjustable /removable clamp on bracket from Sully. The head unit is on a ram mount. Everything can be removed or put back on in about 10 minutes. I can go out to the garage and snap some pics if ya want

If you are going to find yourself at Caddo lake in a couple weekends you'll see my setup. It's simple and works well.

Not going to be able to make it this time around. I recently took a job with a logistics company and am working weekends. I hope to make some of the other runs and definitely want to do Caddo next year.

Sorry for the delay but here's how I set mine up. Im happy with it. I could've ran the wiring to look pretty but my main concern was making it as easy as possible to remove for hunting and reinstall for fishing.

I did this. With two RAM mounts it stays rigid so it reads depth even at 28mph. This way it's still easy to remove.
