Had an idea that I hope will work. Bought a new Garmin 73sv recently with a very large transducer. I wanted it on the front of the boat. So with a little head scratching this is what I came up with.Attachment 231305

That should work. Looks good.
I like it. I'm doing a little head scratching on a large transducer for the front of my boat also. I may need to go the same route as you at least for a short term fix.
Did you modify the mount(Ram??) or do they make one like that?
I already had the 1 inch base and mount, the claw was purchased online from ram mounts. They come in 2 sizes mine is the small one.
I was going to ask the same question.
Just noticed where your from, I was born and raised in Sumter! I use to fish sparkle berry swamp!
it seems very secure,a small amount of play foward and aft because of the rubber balls on mount but otherwise solid!
Great idea I may have to build one of those
If that seat is half as comfortable as it looks i may
need to ditch these navi style high backs.
I like that mounting. My transducer is mounted to the bottom of my TM and I don't like messing with the cable every time I raise or lower the unit.
That's a perfect solution to your problem. I can see someone making an aluminum pole for that claw and it looking real nice on ANY boat.
Great idea. Thx for sharing it.
I do have one question. Why didn't you drill a hole in the back of the tube and run your transducer cable up through it instead of attaching the cable to the outside of the tube?
Still a great idea. [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]
It would require a slot 2" long and 1/2" wide to allow the connection end of cable to go through,I was afraid it would weaken it.
I fish the Stumphole and Jacks Creek areas mostly. MY BIL retired from the Air Force at Shaw and lived in Sumter. He fished Sparkle berry Swamp 3 to 4 times a week year around until cancer took him out at 51 years old.Quote:

I'm with blueducklane, what kind of seat is that you have there? Looks like a Lazyboy recliner!
It came out of a chaperlle speed boat. I had to fabricate a bottom plate to mount it on a standard seat base. It is very comfy! I have another I might sell if the price I right,modified plate included. It is a new seat.
I'll send you a crisp new Ben Franklin right now![emoji2] seriously, what are you looking for it. PM me if needed. Thanks!Quote:
