[cool][blue][size 1]I have been using the Eagle sonars for several years for float tube fishing. The way I set up the transducer...on a piece of 1/2 inch PVC pipe, allows you to use the transducer for ice, boat or tube...with the proper means of anchoring it in place.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]In the attached pic and diagram, I show about 18" of PVC. That's long enough for tubing, but may be too short when sending the transducer down through deep ice. No reason you couldn't make a 4 or 5 foot rod...and bungee cord it to a bucket next to a hole.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I have some other pics and diagrams for setting up the "skimmer" type transducer on a PVC rod, if anyone wants to PM me. Oh yeah, EmuScud even put one together at one time using the shaft of a golf club. Worked okay for the transducer but couldn't putt worth a hoot with it.[/size][/#0000ff]
