Installing Skimmer Transducer on Troll mtr

[buddy brown]

Got too adventurous in the shallows and snapped off my skimmer transducer on my Minnkota maxx pro 80. Got a new ducer on ebay.What hardware do I need to rig it back up. I still have the metal band but I was wondering if there is another mounting bracket that is necessary.

I took the bracket that comes with the skimmer and bent the two sides slightly with two pairs of channel locks to match the approximate curve of the TM body. Then weave the metal strap thru the mounting slots so the transducer is gonna be just ahead of the skeg, pointing straight down. put the bolt thru the washer & transducer just like in the instructions, then have somebody help hold it parallel to the motor while you tighten. It needs to be a little tighter than it would be on a transom mount ( transom mount needs to be able to "kick up" easily) so the proper angle is maintained. Hope this helps...
