Looking for a dead electric trolling motor

[sellingforaliving]

I am on the hunt for a non-functional electric trolling motor. My plans are to remove the head unit and use the clamping mechanism and the bottom housing to hold my fish finder transducer. I am going to be renting a boat so can't permanantly attach the fish finder. I haven't been able to find something similar that doesn't feel like junk and not sure that I want to trust a suction cup. I am out in the Sherwood Park area. If you have a old unit plugging up your garage that you would be willing to part with let me know. Thanks in advance.

PS - open to any other suggestions that you might have if you have faced this before.

I use a small board and a c-clamp for a portable setup.

My original Minn Kota that I got in 1982 bit the dust last year. You are welcome to have it for free if we can arrange to get it from Jasper to you.

Ram transducer mount / ram suction cup ball. GPS world or GPS central has them

Bass pro also carries them.

Or maybe a Scotty Kayak mount? May not be long enough though.

Broom stick and a clamp of some kind to adjust and hold.

i used a suction cup for a few years with no problem. Attached a piece of cord to it and the boat just in case it came off.

Thanks everybody for their help. I am not heading out Jasper way so will need to pass on the offer but thanks. I have decided to use a suction cup as it seems like most people have good luck with them. Still don't totally trust them so going to build a DIY unit using a board which I will use as a back up in the event that the suction cup doesn't work.
