[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 446950, member: 22374"] Those plastic mounts are a GR8 way to mount transducers. I used one on my boat in a less conventional way... vertically. I made no holes below the waterline (I hate doing that) and went through the wood support for the motor and secured with long SS bolts inside. The boat is only 10' and very light so on the right handle I attached a motorcycle handle bar tie down strap for handling the boat without the handle. I could have moved it away from the handle but the position is good to keep the transducer further away from prop wash interference :-) the little electric motor may cause :-) This is the second boat I've used this scheme on and it works great.
