The Tackle Box sells a good mounting arm - nice and lightweight. Swivels up and down so you can put the transducer out of the water easily. From memory about £30ish.

Worth also mentioning, a transducer mount that can pivot in case it hits something is always a good idea. Seem to remember Henry Lennon on one of the Nash vids btoke his on rocks and resorted to his back ip deeper.
I've seen bent brackets used in front of the TD mount to act as 1st point contact to protect it.
Edit, just seen a product online, transducer saver, a spring loaded bracket that allows the TD mount to move if it hits something, gets the grey matter 🤔

This is what I have done, and the wood is clamped to the back of the boat with a woodworking clamp.
I think I read somewhere to try and keep it away from the outboard if possible, so I usually clamp mine on a back corner.

That’s the cheapest way 👍

Screw it to a piece of wood and clamp to the back of the boat

20 0dd years ago I did with my Fish Eagle FF (IIRC)
A simple T of copper pipe with those push fit connectors gets you out the boat then a 90 deg elbow with another piece of copper pipe to get you into the water. Hammer the end flat to mount the TD on, or just zip tie it on and to keep the wires tidy.
Not pretty but it did it's job.
Not sure if the copper would interfere with modern echos, guess you could use JG Speed fit pipe but it might flex a bit.

Thanks, I’ve seen these but they seem a bit over engineered to be honest and I was hoping to not spend any more money. I was hoping someone may have home engineered something

Hi folks, has anyone come up with a quick and reliable way to mount a transducer, without having to attach it to the motor housing or permanently fix to the boat?
Cheers
