Thanks Space man that looks like it might work on my boat,which is a 15 foot alumacraft flat bottom.
Slabby. Try this link: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Porta...ket/699847.uts It is the standard bracket. Looks like Cabela's has three models under the part number IK-010095. Good luck.

Thanks for the replays I have it mounted as they had instructed with the line in center of the ducer even with the bottom of the boat . I think it maybe the way the bottom of my boat design is .it does need to go higher to keep it from spraying a rooster tail and popping up but I am getting an interference on the motor side already. I will take better pictures of the back of the boat and go from their. Thanks
Slabprowler, A couple of other ideas to consider. 1. On my glass boat, I tried a home-made temporary mount (similar to the cabelas mount on my aluminum boat) to move my transducer in several locations before deciding where I really wanted to permanently mount my transducer. I do not have a jack plate to give motor/hull separation so I was worried about the motor interfering. For a side imaging system, you will use it mostly at speeds less than 6mph. At this point you can trim your motor up a bit if you are worried about motor side clearance. 2. I found mounting my transducer between the chine(s) worked better 3. Sometimes your transducer will pop up when running WOT. It helps to periodically check. If I find mine has popped up, I just push it back into place.

Hey Spaceman, That mount is exactly what I need for rented Jon boats. I currently attach my transducer to the TM with a worm-clamp and would be fine if the TM (Endura Max) didn't give interference to the SI beams. When the motor is powered, I can't see anything in SI.
Question - and this will reveal my naivety - Is the transducer in your pic facing the right direction? I thought the "pointy end" should face e bow???
John D: Glad the mount may meet your needs. If your TM battery is easily accessible, you can also run a ground wire from the TM head to the negative terminal on the battery. This should help reduce the interference. The transducer on my war eagle and Triton is for an HB998...same model. I have a ram mount on each boat and hot swap the HB998 head between boats. It is a little larger and different than other HB transducers. It is facing in the correct direction. Thanks for asking.
