Fish Finders: Transducer Mounts, Stern Saver & Live Sonar Turret Poles

1. Transom Mounts & Stern Saver

Never drill direct screw holes into fiberglass transoms below the waterline to avoid water saturation and rot. Use a Stern Saver (high-density polyethylene block bonded with marine structural adhesive); mount your 3-in-1 transducer directly onto the block without a single hull hole!

2. Jack Plate Transducer Mounts

Utilizes pre-drilled side holes on hydraulic jack plates to hold side-imaging transducers safely shielded from debris.

3. Independent Live Sonar Poles (BeatDown, Rite-Hite, LiveFoot)

When the trolling motor is in Spot-Lock mode, its head constantly rotates to fight the wind, causing the live transducer to spin away from fish. An independent motorized turret or manual pole allows 360° scanning of brush piles independent of trolling motor heading.
