- This is our Bolt on Magnetic transducer mount. It can save your transducer from being destroyed when hitting hard objects. It also allows the user to move their electronics off their boat(s) to other water craft or even to protect from theft. Just another amazing fish finder mounting solution from Fish Finder Mounts .com . Call us toll free at 1-855-784-3474 to get yours today!

Could you use the mount in conjunction with a transducer mounting plate?
Thanksssss
Wade, nice idea best of luck. One observation is it looks to me like the light grey piece extends the transducer to far below the bottom of the boat. I'd be concerned about rooster tail and therefore pressure on the unit. It does look like if you mount the transducer directly to the magnetic portion without the light grey... extension it would be a good height. ? Looks like that's possible too. Correct?
Hello Randy, yes, some of our customers do employ the - let's call it a mod - that you are suggesting; so yes you are correct Randy. Don't forget you may actually angle the transducer and the arm both, so you can change the level at where it is very easily. I have never experienced a significant rooster tail with this set-up; but perhaps you could have that effect depending on how you position everything in combination with the speeds you are traveling. Yet again however, you can easily alter the depth and overcome such issue if you get the transducer deeper down under the surface of the water. The magnetic connection with this mount is so powerful that it can withstand a lot of serious water pressure. Really our mounts are rather unorthodox to what the traditional design and set-up methods have been for so many years. Typically the conventional methods and offerings from the manufacturers have been to provide a basic cheap bracket for a transom mounting position - that as you imply must be set up pretty much perfectly to overcome the issues you point out. Our products break away from this idea. The truth is if the transducer has, let's call it clean water underneath, I.e. No/little bubbles or "cavitation" then it will function well at higher speeds. Lower speeds aren't so much of an issue usually, as the cavitation effect is not as present in such circumstances. Anyhow, this is also why it is also possible to get excellent results with a side of the hull (port or starboard) positioning as you don't have irregularities from the boat hull stirring up the water creating cavitation.
if boat speed 28kt ,will Magnetic transducer mount still hold it ?if can;t ,what speed the Magnetic transducer mount can hold
Hello Paul, it depends on a few factors, I.e.: where you set up the transducer on your boat, where you are positioning our mount and how large the transducer is that you are mounting using. If your transducer is in the under 5" category you should be fine. If you have a transducer that is over 5" inches long, you may find that you will have to travel somewhat slower or restrict your deployment of your transducer to when you are traveling at slower speeds. We cannot give you anymore precision in our answer than that; as the volume of boat types, transducer types and spots where you may mount your transducer using our magnetic transducer mounts vary immensely. All we can say at this point is try it and see. If you don't like it, you can always return it for a refund. But remember, it is a portable removable universal mount, and therefore does have its limitations as a result.
ok just a observation, if you use that mount just like that on my boat it looks to flimsy i believe the part you have the transducer mounted to would break before it would come undone from the magnet which is a good Idea but the mount for the transducer needs to be a lot stronger mine is all stainless steel!
Thank you for your observation; but the mounts are very tough. We use special glass reinforced plastics, and are completely equal to their task they were designed for. Also, keep in mind, the linkage of many transducers are all plastic, and in fact many manufacturers make plastic mounts for their transducers in lieu of metal ones. This said, are they stronger than stainless steel? No, of course not. Do you need a stainless steel bracket might be another question. The answer is no. There are many kinds of plastic. The fact is some plastics are extraordinarily strong and some down right weak. The key is to use the correct types for the intended application.
I'd be interested in knowing what speeds you have tested it at. I travel in excess of 35 knots.

Hi Bob, we can't say, there are so many different transducers and various way to set it up. All I can say is that 35 knots is super quick, I.e. over 40 mph. - That is most likely too fast.
No EMI from those strong magnets?...
Does the magnet effect the transducer's operation in any way?
Absolutely not!
you cant match a magnetic mount on the inside and the outside so you could not drill in the jon boat at all? if you know what I mean? would that work? I am not sure about drilling in 4 holes in my boat? But I am very interested in buying this for my fishfinder.
Yeah that would be it. You just match it from the inside of the hull to the outside of the hull and it should be good?
Yes Mark, if the hull thickness of your boat hull where you plan to place our magnetic transducer mount is a 1/4" thick or less you will be good.

Wouldn't the magnetic field affect the transducer readings?
no - absolutely not
Like the idea but if you mount the part on the boat and you have issues with readings and need to move it you have 4 holes instead of two.

Yes, we recommend you attach a piece of star board (polypropylene material/plank/board) first, and then screw whatever accessories you like onto that after the fact. That way you have no concern with this issue.

Agreed, that's why we often will recommend installing a piece of stern saver on the back of your boat first, and then mount stuff like our bolt-on magnetic transducer mount onto that. You can get stern saver in many places, but here's one particular vendor that carries it: www.basspro.com/Stern-Saver-Mini-Transducer-Mounting-System/product/160930/

Thank you for your comments - and a great new year to you :)

If you mount the transducer that far into the water you will get a big rooster tail and the transducer will get knocked off.
Not a great idea for two reasons....1- signal is effected by the magnets and 2-pulling it off all the time stresses the screwed in plate on he transom .... just my two cents.... I would never use it .
Actually, the signal is not whatsoever effected by the magnets, and we have tested the mount extensively with the screws we provide and There is no concern regarding the stress caused by removal activity over time. This has been validated through our own field testing. Nevertheless we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and comments accordingly.
ronyoutu do you even no what sonar is ? Not to smart
Anchors should just stick to flying planes. Stupidest comment I've seen on this product. What proof do you have that magnets affect the sonar signal? None. STFU. You'll do 1000 removals a year? Doubt it. You probably don't even have a boat.
