Great rig.
My set-up is nearly identical.
A few of the differences are, my fish finder has a suction cup to attach the transducer to the hull, and my canoe has a square stern for the trolling motor. The trolling motor battery slides right under my seat.
I also use a milk crate with pvc zip tied on as rod holders and as a place to set the fish finder display. I also keep my 10lb anchor in the milk crate, along with 100' rope.
Right now my only complaint is that the rod holders are not quite convenient enough, especially for the person in the front or the middle, so I'm looking at a way to rig up some free/cheap holders that will fit over the gunnel at any spot along it's length.
The design so far is to use some more pvc and bolt this to some scrap 2x4's.
The 2x4 pieces will be screwed together in the shape of a U and placed right onto the gunnel. I'll have to post a pic when they're done.
The next challenge is going to be rigging up some small cannon balls for improvised downrigging.
This really is an effective, inexpensive, and pleasurable way to fish.
Thanks for posting.
