Does anyone know of a work around? I've seen a lot of opinions on here about in hull vs arm mounts and I guess if I would have to choose I will probably due an external arm mount with the scotty mount. I wanted a couple further opinions if anyone has used the lowrance scupper hole mounts or one of the magnetic mounts I've seen.

Thanks in advance

Eh, in freshwater, I say figure out a scupper hole mount and call it a day. In the salt? I would be very weary of closing up any scupper just in case you find yourself face to face with a nasty wave. I've already realized my boat has a drainage problem in the rear tankwell that is collecting A LOT of water, and thats just in the bays. :/

The in-hull solutions are reliable enough that they continue to work for just about everyone that tries them. I prefer a more elegant solution, so I find ways to mount them outside the hull, while remaining as snag/drag free as possible.

Good luck. Modding these boats is one of the best parts of the game!
