Re: Fish finders
i'm thinking of screwing the base to the seat & the unit just clips off, until I get it & have a look i'm not sure yet but the unit is too big to be held for long, if you have a box of some kind in the boat it could be set on top of that, the transducer i'll try & attach to the tubes somehow or if need be i'll make something up to attach it to the transom

Have a look at a thread I posted couple of years ago when mounting transducer and fish finder to my T3.8

Re: Fish finders
A great idea kaman, thanks for that, will have to make something similar, have looked at the transducer mount & they still do them but have put the price up to £35, still it sorts out the problem.

Re: Fish finders
Hi Mitch
The mount has worked faultlessly so I'd say it's probably worth spending 35 quid on.
I tie mine with a piece of string to the transom wheel leg to make it extra sturdy .
I've got a load of zip ties from the a £1 shop so might use them in the future and just snip them and replace when I want the wheels down
