Transducer with Bracket
Quote:
Here's the image Ed. I didn't attach the transom mount on this because I think I'll be making a couple of bushings and getting a long SS bolt to go through the whole assembly and onto the end of an over-the-side mount. The bracket isn't heavy at all. SS hardware adds up though... Thoughts? BTW - The extra threaded inserts in the transducer are for the trolling motor mount option.... @ Dave L: You mentioned "debris" ... Are you referring to the transducer picking up stuff in the water like weeds or debris on the sonar (bad signals or something along those lines)? Thanks all for your help as I sort this out. ![]()

Yeah, you'll literally pick up strands of eel grass, kelp, etc that will drag like a streamer off the arm. so far it's all migrated up the arm to the surface and hasn't been hard to clear or obstruct signal. Just annoying!

The rotation you mentioned.... How does that occur? Is the rod twisting? The RAM Mount shouldn't be slipping I imagine. Would you fill me in please?

It is minor though and I've often thought that if I was using a fixed ball it wouldn't happen. RAM clamps offer a little play though in general if one puts some leverage on them. If you put too much pressure on them they will also permanently indent. |

Thanks PapaDave! Do think I need to be concerned with flex in the arm affecting the sonar being that my transducer is not tiny? Please let me know - thanks! For the Scotty 141 I've been checking out, I just need to be sure I can get that 4" track mounted so the arm will get into the water OK.
