looking for pros and cons of mounting my fish finder on the trolling motor instead of the transom--anyone have experience with this

Lots of people do it.

Pro: Its not causing issues with the transom or kicking up a rooster tail from hell due to not being mounted right.

Con: No depth indication while on plane.
Note: if its mounted wrong on the transom (or thru hull) then you don't get any good depth info on plane anyway

some people put one on the troller and one on the transom.
