[font "Arial"][size 2]Ultra-compact portable fishfinders are lightweight enough to travel anywhere. Rugged, waterproof units with suction-cup transducers function just like their fixed-mount counterparts. They fold out for quick set-up and fold in for storage and transport in a protective housing with carry handle. Anti-skid rubber bottom keeps the unit solidly in place during use and built-in transducer cable wrap keeps the system organized.

if these links dont work (ebay links never want to work in the bft redirect), just copy & paste them in to your browser address bar, 1/2 (each line) at a time

theres a bunch of them on ebay . . . just make sure you get the same warranty as if you bought it from your local dealer . . .

That would be nice enough to mount on a float tube. I bet I could rewire a 12v source to one of those.

I was thinking same thing. I would use re-chargable batteries. Energizer has some good ones that last a long time. This looks perfect for me and other tubers, kayak'ers, and people who rent boats and different lakes and/or ocean.

I HAVE AN EAGLE FISHFINDER THAT HAS A SIMMILAR SUCTION CUP MOUNT, AND IT WORKS GREAT FOR ICE FISHING. I DRILLED A HOLE IN THE CENTER OF A BUCKET LID (WHO DOESN'T NEED A BUCKET TO SIT ON ANYWAY) AND PUT A 1/4-20 BOLT DOWN THROUGH IT AND THEN DRILLED A HOLE IN THE TOP LIP OF THE TRANSDUCER BRACKET TO PUT ANOTHER 1/4-20 BOLT UP THROUGH IT. (IF YOU ARE ANTICIPATING THICK ICE YOU COULD USE A PIECE OF ALL THREAD) THEN I JUST USE A LONG NUT TO LINK THE TWO PIECES TOGETHER (AT FIRST I JUST HAD A FRIEND WELD A COUPLE OF REGULAR NUTS TOGETHER, BUT THEM I WENT TO THE HARDWARE STORE AND BOUGHT A LONG NUT FOR $.26) IF YOU DON'T DRILL THE HOLE IN THE LID TO BIG THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TOO MUCH TROUBLE GETTING THE TRANSDUCER TO LEVEL OUT, AND YOU CAN JUST LEAVE THE SUCTION CUP ON THERE (YOU MAY HAVE TO TAKE THE SUCTION CUP OFF TO GET THE BOLT THROUGH THE BRACKET THE FIRST TIME.) i HAVE FOUND THIS TO WORK THE BEST OF ANYTHING I HAVE TRIED. I HOPE HIS HELPS IF YOU DO BUY ONE OF THESE.

[size 2]I was thinking same thing rather suction cup for my pontoon. I have a metal frame so I would drill hole, use long screw with larger washer and attach transducer to that. By using a wingnut it will be easy to take on and off[Wink][/size]

I cut the mounting bracket off of my transducer and stuffed it between the cover and the bladder, facing down. It works, but now I'm having difficulty figuring out how to rig it for ice fishing.
