I put a Motorguide Pro Series 75 on my Ranger R70 Sport last year replacing a 35 lb unit that was under powered and noisy. Now I have plenty of power but the mounting bracket still flexes and pops (very annoying) even at the lowest power setting. The unit is currently mounted directly to the boat. I've seen quick release mounting bases but don't know if that would fix the flexing/popping. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to eliminate the flex/popping noise?

Welcome. Appreciate your posts.

The trolling motor is typically running I think. Transducer cable isn't routed with other cables though. Other unit is usually on, haven't tried front unit with main unit off. No room for 4th battery....guess I just deal with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's connected to big motor starting battery along with another depth finder and other accessories on the boat (aerator bilge pump lights). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes seems to be frequent at 20-30' depths not as frequent in shallower or deeper water. Transducer is on trolling motor foot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any ideas on what's causing these lines? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent work! Crappie better watch out now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could be wrong but guessing it would be better to buy new. Anything I've ever thought about recovering ended up nearly as expensive as buying the item. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very impressive work.

Glad you got it running without breaking the bank.

As a lifelong Packers fan, that botched onside kick made me ill.....I've pulled for the Pack since Bart Starr was QB.....

Glad you got the boat up and running....and had a good day fishing to boot. Nice pics.

Very nicely done. Now go catch some fish. I would vote for Loudon.
