Transom/Trolling Motor Mount

Enhance Your Boating Experience with the Garmin Transom and Trolling Motor Mount

Securely positioning your transducer is crucial for reliable sonar readings and clear underwater imaging on the water. This versatile mount from Garmin, designed specifically for GT15M-TM and GT8HW-TM transducers, offers a robust solution for both transom and trolling motor installations. Its thoughtful engineering ensures your setup stays stable through choppy waves and rough conditions, delivering consistent performance whether you're chasing trophy fish or mapping the lake bottom.

Unlike generic mounts that snag on debris or shift during use, this low-profile design hugs the surface closely, minimizing drag and maximizing protection. Anglers and boaters appreciate how it blends seamlessly with their vessels, maintaining the clean lines of popular Garmin fishfinders like those in the ECHOMAP or STRIKER lines.

Key Features That Stand Out on the Water

• Versatile Mounting Options: Effortlessly attaches to your boat's transom or trolling motor, adapting to your preferred setup without hassle.
• Streamlined Low-Profile Build: Reduces exposure to underwater hazards, keeping your transducer safe from rocks, logs, and other obstacles.
• Durable Construction: Crafted with corrosion-resistant materials in a sleek black and silver finish, built to withstand saltwater splashes and freshwater exposure alike.
• Quick and Simple Installation: Comes with all necessary brackets and hardware, allowing for a straightforward setup that saves you time at the dock.
• Reliable Protection: Shields your investment in advanced sonar technology, ensuring optimal signal transmission for sharper fish arches and detailed contours.

These features translate to fewer interruptions and more time focused on what matters—landing that next big catch or exploring hidden spots.

Perfect Compatibility for Garmin Transducer Users

Tailored exclusively for the GT15M-TM and GT8HW-TM transducers, this mount integrates flawlessly with Garmin's high-performance sonar lineup. These transducers excel at mid-band CHIRP and wide-angle imaging, and pairing them with this mount ensures pinpoint accuracy in readings.

Whether upgrading your current rig or outfitting a new boat, it supports setups on aluminum fishing boats, bass boats, or kayaks with trolling motors. The design accounts for the unique vibrations and movements of electric motors, preventing signal loss or misalignment.

Installation Tips for Peak Performance

Getting it right from the start maximizes your transducer's potential. Start by selecting a flat mounting surface free of bends or protrusions. Clean the area thoroughly to ensure a strong bond. Align the transducer parallel to the waterline for the best downward beam coverage—typically 12 to 16 inches below the hull at speed.

For trolling motor applications, position it on the lower unit away from prop wash. Tighten hardware securely but avoid over-torquing to prevent cracking. Test in shallow water post-install to verify clear bottom tracking and adjust as needed. Pro tip: In high-speed scenarios, deadrise angle compensation keeps readings crisp.

Regular checks after every few outings help maintain alignment, especially if trailering over bumpy roads.

Why Boaters Trust This Mount for Long-Term Reliability

In the demanding marine environment, durability isn't optional—it's essential. This mount's engineering prioritizes impact resistance and UV stability, holding up season after season. It eliminates common pain points like loose fittings or transducer knock-offs, providing peace of mind during marathon fishing trips.

Backed by Garmin's commitment to quality, it complements their ecosystem of marine electronics, from chartplotters to live sonar. Users report enhanced target separation and fewer dropouts, directly boosting success rates on the water.
