I'm trying to figure out the best way and place to mount the tranducer on my ranger 188, ran across this deal on the net this morning, it's called a stearnmate . Need some opinions . I don't have a jackplate on this boat. Thanks.
The pic on top is my boat.
Have read about the sternmate and considered it but I went with the sternsaver for my tracker tin boat. About the only difference between the two is the sternmate has a lattice or ladder piece where you mount the the TD to, while with the sternsaver you just mount it directly to the plastic block after it is attached to the hull. I would follow the directions from HB, if you google either of the two mounting options, you should get some pictures to help you decide the best route for you/your boat. I have no complaints about my sternsaver.
Checked out the sternsaver, I think that would work good, they are 3/4 " thick so I'm thinking I can put it right over the drain plug. Thanks
Here is some info on HB installation on a Ranger boat...
