A low-disturbance trolling transducer mount system and method for shallow-water fishing and similar situations presenting a need to navigate through vegetation and obstructions, protecting against obstructions, without disturbing or destroying the fish-inhabited vegetation, without disturbing the water around the vegetation, placing and maintaining the transducer in the proper relation to the vegetation and to the trolling motor to avoid entanglement and turbulence affecting reliability of readings, including prevention of the trolling motor hindering the operation of the transducer, or vice versa, allowing for movement of the transducer around obstructions and heavy vegetation, with a streamlined design and durable construction.
