[QUOTE="Sea Antsy, post: 497434, member: 33043"] LAZY UNCOMMITTED PARANOID ONCE BURNED When it came to mounting the transducer to my SHARK boat, it was a new opportunity… This was my first tin boat and on prior fiberglass boats (mostly sail) I used FASTEETH or POLIGRIP false teeth adhesive to stick the transducer INSIDE the hull in the bilge.. Won’t work on tin boats.. soooo I had enjoyed my SHARK esp in skinny water, claming, exploring.. Chasing crabs.. Ran Aground many times.. Thinking about getting a transducer down there and hitting the sandbars .. eeech… I would Sheer it off for sure..If I have my transducer deployed and hit anything with force worst case, I break a plastic picket... And .. AND that damm transducer paint.. That, worked somewhat, lasted One season b4 the remainder got hard in the little expensive bottle.. Ugg.. wouldn’t it be nice Not to HAVE to deal with that paint? Here presented for ya’all’s purview is my solution.. A length of plastic fence picket with the transducer wire snaked thru it.. And a rubber washer/bolt and wing nut to deploy and nest. "Ya gotta grow olde, but ya hain't gotta grow up !" [/QUOTE]
