My first attempt at spider rigging a resounding success

[Quackrstackr]

It's just an Eagle 242 on the console. It broke the part of the transducer that the bolt runs through to attach it to the mount.

I glued and clamped it together last night and it looks like it may hold for a while. I need to get my hands on another, though.

I appreciate the offer.

I suppose I need to call Gander Mountain to see if they carry just the transducer. I'm not sure who else around here carries Eagle units.

Call Gmeni electronics at 270-898-6018. Skip might answer. They might have new or good used one laying around. Also try Echo electronic. I think he's still in business but I couldn't find the #. He works on all kinds of stuff like troll'n motors, depth finders... You name it.

Thanks. I was going to call those guys and see what they might have around.

I just got back in from doing a little bit of MacGyver engineering on it. The glue job from last night looked like it would be fine but after I wrapped it with some stainless wire... that thing is stronger now than it was from the factory. I may still call and find a potential backup in case my fix doesn't hold up.

They worked on my MinnKota Maxxum TM last summer and I thought they had made a mistake when he handed me the bill. It was WAYYYYY less than I ever expected. Great folks to deal with! Give me a call if you need directions or need me to pick something up.

Glad to hear of your success. My first try at spider rigging was this past weekend also and it was a pretty good success also. At least enough to give it a try again.
