Someday when I am rich and famous I wan’t to get a color locator also. If you had an open bow I would suggest a trolling motor mount on the bow. Otherwise I would do a transom mount and see if you could do something with diffferent angle transducers that could complement each other.
Just a side note on your bow numbers - I too had to replace the good looking numbers because of the boobs that can’t read them from 100’ ---- You can use a Handheld hair dryer and peel off the number that don’t comply to the letter of the law - if you wish.
I like that word boobs - it works in more than one situation… [;)]
I’d have to agree with ‘Ewetah’. Put a trolling motor on the bow. Don’t worry about it being a closed bow. A minnKota powerdrive will work just fine. Best thing I ever did was put one on my closed bow. Its great! You’ll love that color sonar.
