shoot thru hull help

hi guys I am having a problem with my transducer location.I have a xpress h18 pfc crappie edition and it being a metal hull i have my transducer located out back .the problem is i fish a lot of standing timber and have cracked two tranducers already or knocked them loose and it is getting hard to deal with .Do any of you have any suggestions on a shoot thru the hull fix for me?I have a hds gen 2 10 no structure or down imageing yet maybe later though. thanks and God bless
:Rofl:pray

I'd suggest not tightening the bolts as tight to allow it to flip out of the way, or get a Transducer Shield and Saver spring back bracket Transducer Shield and Saver SBB-4 to attach a Transom Style Transducer on a Transom

There is also this option for metal hull shoot thru ...
