Title: Trolling motor transducer mount
Post by: Perch Jerker on July 04, 2010, 10:47:51 PM
I thought someone might be interested in my trolling motor mount. Just some scrap pvc pipe and a couple of homemade clamps. I will try to attach some pics.[attachment=1][attachment=2] I can't seem to attach but 2 pics.

Go back and edit the post and it will let you add more.  Rinse then repeat! 

Its a bug that I have been too lazy to try and fix!  When the next forum software release come out I will probably get around to it then.

Perchjerker, did you invent that because of TM interference?

 No Wayne,my purpose was to prevent the smear of images when you turn the trolling motor although it probably helped on interference also.

Thanks, I'm going to try that. I made a bracket that hangs off the gunnel but it's in the way when unloading/loading on the trailer.

Wayne, a little more info on this project, I used 3/4 schedule 40 pipe. I made a form with the offset I wanted out of 3/4 plywood then stuck the pipe in the exhaust pipe of my truck until it would bend to fit  the form,let it set until cool. The  transducer is set to run about 2 or 3" under the water so I can see any hazards it would hit. A couple more images are attached.[attachment=1][attachment=2]

Thanks, I just got back from Lowes. I got the schedule 40 PVC and am going to use  two 45 degree elbows to make the offset and a Tee on the bottom to run the wire into it.
