Kayak transducer mount

[nygooseduster26]

Got a garmin striker 4 for my kayak to try to perch fish here on the finger lakes, wondered if anybody had any homemade transducer mounts that work for them. I see some on Amazon made for the application but some reviews say they are flimsy. Any input appreciated.

I mounted mine through a scupper hole. There are alot of diy ideas on youtube. Pick one that matches your application.

My scupper holes are located so they are in a high spot in the hull so even though the xducer is not flush mounted it is still tucked up and is at minimal risk to get hit in shallow water.

Forgot to add it’s a sit in style old town trip 10 dlx angler so there are no scupper holes.

The dlx anger is a single-layer hull, so you can mount the transducer right in the hull and shoot through it - you would loose water temperature reading if the 'ducer has that option.

 

I have a different old towne kayak - it's got open cell foam sandwiched between 2 layers of polyethylene, so I had to hang the 'dcuer off the aft end with a RAM Mount RAM Track Ball Transducer Mount.

 

Looking to see if I can find a picture of that set-up.

I have the suction cup mount and use it on my boat and it works just fine, never had an issue.
