Rigging a sonar for ice fishing on a budget

[Tangled_not]

Great ideas and pics thanks everyone!! I like them all for different reasons. i'll come up with a "Frankenstein" that will utilize ideas from your contraptions. If I can use the same transducer bracket for ice fishing on my pontoon boat, that would be ideal. at that point, I won't have to invest in a second transducer. i'll send some pics of the finished product. working in the electrical field I have an idea that will utilize conduit straps to attach the PVC ducer bracket to either my pontoon frame, or an ice fishing container. at that point, i'll be able to slide the pvc up or down to adjust for ice depth, and/or draft of the toon.

[ul][li]Overall it seems these are the most important considerations...[/li][li] keeping the transducer horizontal to the bottom[/li][li]Protecting the fishfinder from damage/elements[/li][li]making it all work conveniently [/li][li]saving bulk/weight[/li][/ul]
thanks again..
