**Portable Fishfinder through West Marine**

[Cowmilker]

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.
