Default Graph and CD Player Installation

Hey guys. I'm new to this site and so far enjoy it. Good information in here, so i thought i would get some of my own. I just purchased a graph for the front at the trolling motor and i'm not sure where to mount the transducer. The graph at the steering colum has a shoot through hull mount from the factory, and i'm not sure if i want to try to do a shoot through hull on the front or mount it on the trolling motor.
Also, my wife got me a CD player for the boat. Just wandering where to mount the speakers.
Thanks guys. Good luck and and be safe.

The boat is a Triton TR186 with Motorguide trolling motor. Yamaha V-Max 150.

always mount it on the troller..the idea being you need to know how deep it is at the troller not at the back of the boat..

as for a radio in the boat i am not sure where to put it ya would have to talk to the toon guys..

Yep-mount it on the trolling motor. I use one of these:

Having it above rather than below the TM housing keeps it a lot more protected and keeps it out of the way.

I appreciate the info. I did mount it on the TM and is working well. The only problem i have so far with it is the temp. is different than the temp on the graph on the dash. The graph on the dash is mounted with a shoot through hull from the factory. It has the cable on the back of the boat. The 2 graphs differ avg. 5-7 temps. Any reasons or suggestions?
Thanks.

troller gauge sticks down in the water farther.. the rear temp sensor is likly 12" or so under the water where as the average troller is 24+" under water..
