SI transducer would be hard to mount on a Terrova. If you mounted it on the transom you would see what you already went by.

I believe they sell a mounting bracket for it. Less than $20 iirc

They do make a bracket, but there is no good way to route the cable on the Terrova. One time of pinching the cable or twisting it and you are out $300. Side image works best when you are going 2-6 mph and fairly straight. When mounted on a trolling motor you are normally not going that fast and when you steer it blurs the picture.
