Got new Bird Mounted

Finally got instilation finished. Not quite as bad as Cockrumcrappie had on his Triton but had to take all panels loose on right side to install mount and run new wiring harness, with that swing mount i cut a 4 wide 8 long peice of 1/16 steel plate and drilled holes to match mount. Installed it as a backing plate to stiffen it up. Used a flood lite mount,14IN peice of electrical PVC and 2 threaded fittings to make antenna mount. Drilled 3/4 hole in deck, installed rubber grommet in hole then ran cable through pipe and hole then installed mount. No exposed wires.Attachment 127730Attachment 127731Attachment 127732

And, mounted flush on the bow of the boat you would be fishing about 16'-17' closer to the waypoint.

Bet the puck is where the ducer is.

Looks good cray, I am gonna break down and but me one of em soon, Feesh says they are awesome for finding bream beds.

Good job Cray.

Antenna is mounted directly over transducer. It is mounted high pick up as many satellites as possible. Hoping to increase accuracy.

If I did a lot of single pole fishing I would just mount it flush on the deck. Not much need for GPS up in them cypress trees on oxbows:Rofl

Nice install Cray!

That is true.That's why i use Lowrance no need for external antennas.:Rofl
