[QUOTE="Mizzie, post: 300150, member: 3140"] Thanks for your comments on the boat! About the fish finder. I found it easiest to completely take the fish finder out of the mount when in motion. I had it mounted near the oar locks on my boat so it can easily be seen from both seats. I just left the bracket blanked on and took the fish finder itself and put it inside the boat when in motion because when in motion the transducer shaft drags in the water and puts stress on the shaft and bracket. I didn't make anything to hold the fish finder out of the way yet but now that you brought it up i am going to because it sounds like a good idea! Off hand I think maybe some Velcro steps on the inside side of the boat (like those used for fishing rods). Or maybe some hook brackets of some sort. The shrink wrap will be coming off my boat soon so I'll think up a mounting idea and post pics of it. Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
