Abstract
A trolling motor system includes a lower propulsion unit and a transducer assembly. The lower propulsion unit has an external cavity extending into the lower propulsion unit. The transducer assembly includes a sonar transducer and a mount coupled to the sonar transducer. The mount releasably secures the sonar transducer within the cavity. In one exemplary embodiment, the mount includes at least one fastener releasably coupling the mount to the lower propulsion unit. In one exemplary embodiment, the mount releasably secures the sonar transducer within the lower propulsion unit proximate a rear end of the lower propulsion unit.
