I do not want to mount my front transducer on my trolling motor (just personal preference). I am looking for a way to be able to easily deploy the transducer out the front of the boat, and then easily stow it.
I have looked at a couple of set-ups, but am just looking for some additional ideas. Wondering if some of you might be willing to post some photos of how you have yours mounted.
THANKS!!!
I have a deployable mount now but switching to trolling motor. Its a pain to deploy and pick up two every time you move. ITs OK if your trolling not moving from spot to spot. Gonna try it. Can always go back.
ASK RNVINC he has one. Get his opinions.
Any interest in selling your deployable setup?Quote:

If you have a glass boat, you can do a shoot-through mount up front.

I have an uncanny knack for hitting stumps, rocks, the bottom, and everything else you can imagine with my TM. I want to be able to stow the transducer when I'm in shallow water.

I have an aluminum boat.
My son didnt like it mounted on the tm so by using elbows and short sections of PVC pipe. He drops his 'ducer off the front of the boat by simply connecting a short piece of PVC to an elbow. If interested send me a PM and I'll take a couple pictures. (PM helps as I seem to loose alot of posts I read and reply to.:o)
Spec, I broke the ear piece off my transducer. I purchased a Transducer Protector and this solved the problem. They will never be damaged again no matter what you hit. Look on page 468 in Bass Pro catalog They are about 49 bucks and are a cheap and permanent fix. Good luck
Spec ,sorry price was 40 bucks
How about this. Take a piece of radiator hose, attach it to the boat on a hinge, then the other end with washered nuts. Might take a little bit with a heat gun to get the angle right, but that's about as simple and cheap as you'll find. Kick it over with your foot and flip it up when you leave. Bigger did the same on his boat and it works like a charm.

We mostly longline using the graph on the console but will use the front graph when spider rigging or striper fishing. Here's what we use. Only takes a few seconds to deploy.;):
