Assuming you like sitting in the rear seat, solo, as I do, it's a long run with the transducer cable from where you sit. I like the FF right next to me in the cup holder with a railblaza setup. Not a bad idea though and gives me food for thought, I was using a thru hull setup. Also I use a downrigger out on the amas but having the transducer so far forward may not be ideal for seeing the ball.
I'm thinking of using this lowrance transducer mount (

Pros are that it would probably pick up my downrigger ball and it would never be in the way of the cart or trailer or drag on something. Downside would be that it would be in the way of a live well, if one was inclined to have one back there. For me it would be to much weight back there anyways with my motor mounted in the rear. Think I may DIY a live well for the front seat area of the TI or out over the akas.
