"I am looking at going through the scupper holes on my PA. I was looking at the Lowrance scupper mount. Until I noticed that all it is is a modified sprinkler head. I had several extra Toro sprinkler heads in my garage and they are the same. Just a little modification. So before you spend $54 dollars on the the lowrance mount. take a look at the $1.50 sprinkler. Fits right in the scupper whole."

I have mine set up this way. works great, I placed it in the tankwell scuppers so when I land on the beach it does drag the transducer on the sand.

try this if you cant find the sprinkler head.

Just a heads-up: I bought the Lowrance scupper mount transducer kit.
It doesn't fit the 50/200 Khz transducer. I forget the other frequency HDS transducer comes in but if you have the 50/200, forget about the kit.

Love mine, improved clarity on my P.O.S. X-4 but Lowrance needs to cut the price in half and O.K. needs to re-think thier "ducer" cut out design.

I have an ocean kayak endeavor and it has a spot for a transducer on one of the rear scrubber holes. I used the transducer that came with my humming bird FF, I ground off all the brackets and sanded the top flat. I removed a lot of plastic and it works fine. I epoxied it in the recessed hole. It's almost even with the bottom of the yak.
I want to up grade my fish finder, Im not sure how I'll get the old transducer out is the only problem. The scrubber hole is still functional with the way I have it mounted.
