I like it. Still trying to figure out exactly what i'm doing. As of right now i'm bolting a piece of pipe to a ram mount & then dropping a piece of 1.25" pvc into it for strength & then a 1" piece of electrical conduit with the bale on it that keeps it from sliding down for the actual turning pole with transducer mounted to it with an elbow & a piece of pipe for a handle. I made a tapped & threaded pipe collar with a t handle to screw into to lock the 1.25" in place at any heigth & be able to unlock, raise & lock all the way up & then swing ram mount inside of gunnel to stow & both the pole & ram mount will be locked in place that way when running in rough water. May end up changing to aluminium after i'm sure of a final design that suits me.
