    Default Depth finder mount


    Looking for a depth finder mount to get it up off the floor. Looking for something 16" tall. I know Hi-Tek has a 12" and have sent him a message about a 16" but haven't heard back yet. Who else offers an elevated mount?

    Here is a DIY mount I crafted for mine using simple hand tools. It is completely adjustable and I have had zero problem with it since I made it last year.

    Think he might be on vacation. He will build you one any way you want it. He made one for a friend to the height we figured out. You might also shoot E-Z pole holder a pm. He builds some also.

    I just used the stock 18in. Hi-tec riser to mount mine just the right height for me.

    Last year when I picked up a small 12' V-hull, I put my sonar on the gunnel with a bracket purchased from Cabelas:

    This has worked out very well for me and is easily transferable to other tin boats. Here's what it looks like off the boat:
