[cool][size 1]I am sure you are looking forward to getting "eyes" for your craft. Then you can experience the "joys" of getting everything mounted so that it is both functional and esthetically pleasing...with the lightest possible weight.[/size]
[size 1]I am not vain enough to suggest that I have come up with the ultimate way of mounting rods and sonar. I am sure that somewhere out there is still the idea that has been eluding me, and that once I find it, I will be amazed at how simple it is.[/size]
[size 1]In the meantime, I think the PVC shaft for the transducer...with a stretch cord fastening system...is the easiest and has the widest range of applications. With that, it doesn't make any difference what kind of rod holders you use...or whether you even have a rod holder. You can mount the sonar independently.[/size]
[size 1]I hope Santy Claus gets the order right...and that you have been a good boy this year. It ain't easy turning a lump of coal into a sonar unit. I don't think I could make PVC work in that case.[/size]
