Pelican box with the bottom cut out . a bracket is affixed to the lid which opens easily and can be locked down. The box bottom is cut out. The box is gooped to the bottom of the boat, and the transducer can be placed or removed using a rudder post or cotter pin arrangement.
Drop the transducer in place, the bracket holds it at the proper angle, drop a little water in and voila, you are in business.
cut a slot in the top of the box to allow for the wire to sit without being under any pressure from positioning.
The entire unit can sit in a bag, battery and all, and be placed after clearing the surf.
this transducer is pretty big, but im certain it will work with smaller units.

remove the unit anytime.

Nice setup Chris. I like the clear box idea. Is that thing waterproof enough to retain the water when turned upside down for transport or storage?
