I got an eagle eye 9 fish finder for christmas. I an concerned about bow mounting the forward facing sonar transducer on the trolling motor. I am concerned about the vibration from the motor and constantly lowering and raising the trolling motor. I have the option to mount it on the stern also. However I do not want to compromise the functionality of the forward facing sonar. I want to be able to see in front of the boat not under it. Can I still stern mount it and see in front of the boat. Any suggestions ?

Thanks for the information

I have a 35 hp Merck with a 6.6 plastic gas tank with a cap that has a screw for venting. I was told that some engines like to run with the pressure in the tank and that during operating the boat the screw vale in the gas cap might have to be closed. I know storing the boat to leave the cap valve open to be vented so that moisture does not build up in the tank and delete the gas. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated
