Trolling motor/sounder combos

 Hi All,

 

I've picked up a Commodore marine 4.3m fibreglass side console, which I think was a one off & would have been an old Fraser hull. 

 

It has no sounder combo on it & I like the idea of putting a new sounder and trolling motor combo on, but its something that I have not done before.

 

I'm chasing some information and advice from guys who have put them on a 4-5m boat, and things that have been good and bad. 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Josh
