    I used a piece of rubber baseboard material to protect the boat from the screw clamps. Lowes has it, or you can use a piece of plastic cutting board sheet( the thin stuff). Have extra pieces on hand, they sink when you drop them overboard, LOL

    I remove the transducer setup to put the boat on on the trailer or to launch it so I don't hang the transducer on the trailer guides.

    I leave it clamped and folded over when moving from spot to spot. 45 mph, no problem.

    Mark Ridl with cornfield crappie will fix you up, his number is on his website.

    You need minn kota shaft clamps for the large tubing and a piece of large tubing.

    The livescope cable is VERY hard to install in the tubing. I used a couple wooden clothes pins to "wedge" the tubing open and work the cable into the tubing. It's worth the half hour it takes, cable is fully protected.

    Hope this helps.

    YouTube has MANY videos on mounting your LS transducer on a boat or make it portable to move from boat to boat.

    I just saw this and had been about to order the above transom mount assembly (2991815a) when I looked at pictures of the railing around my Lowe Sea Nymph 175 Sidewinder and think I need a bracket that will open wider!

    Won't know until tomorrow as boat is not nearby.

    Anyone else have same issue??

    Doggone it. Those top rails are 6" across, so I need some bracket that will open a tad more than 6" it seems.

    Any suggestions out there?

    This link is not working. Do you have part numbers for them?

    Look up Venzo benchmount bike repair stand on amazon. It's what i used on my bass boat & it works great. Would be easy for you to use self tapping screws & mount into the top of your side rail too. Make a pvc pole with a piece of 1' inside a piece of 1&1/4".

    I also used benchmount bike repair stand and PVC pole. Works great and less than $75

    Probably the big other difference is that I want to share my Garmin Livescope transducer setup, along with the 93sv which will be built into a baitcooler setup, between boats. So a clamp on transducer pole assembly would be fantastic.

    Right now we are looking at bolting something (with a small footprint) on the outside edge up from on my Sea Nymph for a Minn Kota bracket to clamp onto...

    I just don't want it to look like crap or the like. However, I don't want to pay and arm and a leg for it all either...

    Balance is the operative word. Balance.
