Anybody have any pics or suggestion on mounting a transducer to the bow NOT on the trolling motor. Something that can be let up/down, etc. I don't want on my trolling motor. I fish in shallows frequently too and been there done that with breaking the transducer (even with a protector). Was thinking something made out of PVC or sturdy aluminum.
Pics would be very helpful on ideas. Thanks
A DaDucer Apparatus.....click here.... basic-model - Podunk (po dungk) A small isolated town, region, or place that is regarded as unimportant. . . .
One of the guys on here makes a really nice mount for the bow. I can't remember his name, hate to guess wrong so one of you fellows jump in with his name or info.
Well. by the time I got his posted you had your answer.:biggrin
Yep nvinc ( Ricky)......The link I posted is to his websiteQuote:

TAKE AN OLD TROLLING MOTOR MOUNT . FLIP UP AND DOWN AS NEEDED . CHECK WITH EZ
excellent idea. maybe craigslist too. :)Quote:

You've got the right idea! I made one using an old trolling mtr mount and attached a bracket at the top of a piece electrical conduit, and made a bracket at the bottom to attach the 'ducer. Had it mounted on a 10' Lowe johnboat for use this time of year when the water was high. I had a brain dump 3 years ago and sold the whole rig.....been kicking myself ever since. I am now looking for another old trolling motor that doesn't work, just to get the bracket. My boat has a small front deck and I want to get my Helix up so I am not constantly bending my back to adjust the settings.Quote:

Thanks for the suggestions! Right now I'm fishing in 1-3 feet of water so its not critical! :)
Was thinking use something like this and just make me one. Drill some holes for adjustments and a bracket up front and one to snap it into when not in use. I'll get it figured out! Eventually. :)

I just built one in their system from the link I posted above. For my boat it would be 82.00. You could get to at least half that if not more building your own unless you have a lot of stuff laying around. And from looking at Marty's it's pretty slick.
I got this mount instead of the podunk mount because I wasn't going to have the room for the retractable pole. I just recently got the extra cone so I can store the pole in the holder while traveling on the lake. I also put my hs gps puck on top of the pole. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c8a07d4947.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...368a8cb9d6.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...e7d6ea375a.jpg

That is simple and neat and would have save me hundreds of dollars if these where available when I build my portable self contain system to be used on two boats.Attachment 235363Attachment 235364Attachment 235366Attachment 235367Attachment 235368
I used to use one made of PVC. It was an L shaped piece of PVC with deucer mounted on long leg of L. Short leg of L slid into another piece of larger PVC that was attached to boat deck with u bolts. A pin held the pieces together. Pull the pin and pull out the L and stow it on deck ( with snap bracket or whatever). Deucer cord has enough slack to accommodate. Good luck with whatever you come up with.

This is the one I made! Slides up and down with multiple 1/4 inch holes to adjust depths. 1/4 push pin to hold in place. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0b7708b55d.jpg
