1996 Stratos 268 115hp Evinrude Bass Boat
Not wanting to drill any holes in my transom, I used a suction
device(Cost $18+$10 Shipping=$28) purchased from Vexilar.com. To test it, I mounted the xducer to the plate that
comes with the 2 cups, stuck it to my transom, and tied a gallon bucket of water to it for weight. I let this stay for a week without it falling off. Next to test on the water, I tied a safety rope to it so that if it fell off, the prop wouldn't chew it up! Lastly..tested on the water for 4 hours. I hit speeds up
to 52mph twice without the suction cups coming loose. I spent the rest of the time to determine if the placement of the
transducer was going to be good for side imaging. As seen in the photos, I placed it dead center on the transom and had no
problems except I made sure not to trim all the way down.
Hope someone else can use this info to determine their location for their transducer without drilling holes everywhere!
