Need mounting suggestions

[keithdog]

I am planning to buy a Hummingbird 535 depthfinder. My trouble is that I cannot decide where to mount the bodyon my boat. The transducer will be mounted in the transom. The boat is 12 foot long, and has three seats. I use both oars and a 55 pound thrust Motorguide mounted to the transom. I was thinking the body of the depthfinder would be ideal on the side of the middle seat so I could easily see the screen while motoring about. However, that location would make it hard to deal with the oars when rowing. The front seat would be great, except that I couldn't see the screen from the back seat very well. I could mount it on the side of the rear seat where I sit while using the motor, but I am thinking that might get crowded and also may get in the way of the oars when they are stored in the boat. I was thinking perhaps I should mount it on the rear corner of the transom where there is currently a boat cleat. But with that location, I would not be able to watch where I am steering the boat while viewing the screen. Any ideas where YOU would mount the depthfinder?
