Adjustable transducer mounting bracket

[sea dweller]

Does anyone know where I can get an adjustable transducer mounting bracket, made up or already made in Durban. I have found one guy but he wants to use 21 mm tube and it's big and looks @#$%. I had a new trailer made and every time I load the boat on the beach the transducer got ripped off, so I mounted it higher and now it doesn't work very well.

Any info will help.

Sea Port marine supplies - near Dyrban ski boat club.

Thanks CLS, will head off there today.

Replace the transducer with a Airmar P66. Not only will your sonar work better, especially at fast trolling speeds, but when you launch you simply un-clip it from the bracket. And when you beach, it will automatically release and flip up.

And they are super affordable.

Hi Fishton, can you please upload us a photo!

Here is a picture of an adjustable mount I found on a Aussie website. Fishton, I will give you a call today about prices etc.

Oops, sorry Hamco, you were talking to Fishton.

Wow, that is an awesome design. Thanks for the post.

I will have a few of these made up, maybe include a pop-release system in case one forgets to lift it when beaching.

Please PM me if you have any made up, would love to get my hands on one of them, the pop release is a great idea.

In case you need a bracket idea for a pirogue; added bulbous bow to prevent drag on the bracket as it had to sit low in the water - works like a charm.
