More pic
Hope I can explain it .you need bottom plate at lease 18 or more inches ,should be longer but that was all I had, 8 inches wide ,the bottom plate on TM needs to be at lease 2 1/2 inches high off of boat to clear when sliding TM back

Sorry, even I have a hard time with those pic,sun was wrong way, here,s transducer mounted ,no screws or holes in TM,yet it works good at coming up and going down,it do not turn when TM turns for my DI ,also spring loaded to lay back on top of TM when riding.

Wow! You've done a ton of good work there Gene. Any trouble bumping the xducer when you're in timber? Looks like both items are well thought out and functional. At first I was wondering why only one pin in the TM bracket, but I can see that there wouldn't be all that much side to side movement there....one is much simpler to use, too. Nice job on both mods.
And thanks for taking the time to post these pics!!!
VIC THE DUCER IS SPRING LOADED AND I CAN ADJUST IT WHERE IT WILL BE HIGHER THAN TM WITHOUT IT PICKING UP TM BECAUSE IT IS IN FRONT OF IT

It looks like you used two pieces of 2" channel to bolt to the tm. Are they 1/8" thick? Also, is your bottom plate 1/2"? Just trying to figure out how you came up with the 2 1/2" rise that you talk about. Also, does just the one spring loaded bolt hold the motor securely? Nice set up...and thanks for posting this. It saves me a lot of figuring.
I really like that.thanks gene:o:o
I WILL TRY TO GIVE U A FRONT AND BACK PIC THAT IS A LITTLE CLEAR,YES CHANELL IS 1/8 THICK BY 2 INCH HIGH BUT I HAVE THE PLATE SETTING ON 1/4 INCH BY 2 INCH WIDE FLAT METAL THAT SETS ON A 1/4 INCH RUBBER WHERE OLD HOLES WERE SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DRILL NEW HOLES IN BOAT.THE TM WILL NOT SLIDE BACK BUT TO THE BOTTOM PLATE ,THE CURVE AT THE END OF TM WILL NOT GO OVER PLATE ,IT COMES OFF ONLY BY PULLING IT AT THE FRONT, AS FOR LOCKING SPRING TO HOLD IT IN PLACE,I AM SURE I COULD PULL BOAT WITH IT
