I like this transducer mount
It is Rickie's da ducer apparatus. This is my second unit. I modified and mounted it similar to the one I had on the War Eagle. I could not retract the stick enough to get the transducer inside the boat, so I modified my mount by drilling more holes and used 1/4-20 x 3/8" set screws so the stick would slide further into the guide. Pictures are worth a thousand words.

I drilled and tapped more holes to use set screws so to remove plate.
