Not sure if this short video will load. This is my PS 30 mounted on an old transom mount Minn Kota shaft. Using it this way I can turn the transducer to look more forward or aft, the turn the shaft and look side to side. In this video it's looking for ward and aft. The top center is my boat, and the picture is moving right to left. You can see as I approach the fish, they dive deeper, then rise up again after I pass.

Mercury Pro Kicker manufacturer date 2018, sold new in 2019. Last used in 2021. This is a very nice Pro Kicker that was the main motor on a Lund Alaskan used on restricted HP lakes. The boat also had a 112# thrust MinnKota bowmount. I bought the boat and put a 60HP tiller motor on it, and with the bow mount I have no need for a kicker. It comes with the remote controls, power trim and tilt, and a 4 blade prop. It's located in Chester cty PA. Selling price is $2200.
I have an old Minn Kota transom mount electric motor. I have taken the motor itself off, and will mount the PS 30 on the end of the shaft. With mounted this way, I'll be able to rotate the transducer and still which way I like it best. Then buy the PS 31 mount if needed.
Ha! Just bought the same thing in a crate yesterday for $1500. It was a 3 hr round trip, Buffalo with be 12 hrs. Guess the extra $200 was worth it. Looking forward to getting it installed.
I don't think the 150's were problematic, but you are buying a 21 y/o outboard. It's a crap shoot whether it's a cheap fix or ready to fail completely.
