  • In this video I will show you how I built my foldable transducer mount. I got the idea from the internet and just had to try it out. My previous mount were mounted on the side which would not be very reliable on angles and would easily turn when driving too fast. This new mount that I will show you will manage some speeds and still be able to be folded up when ramping or driving fast etc. One more good thing when mounting the transducer this way is that you don't have to drill any holes under the waterline! Good luck!
    Materials used:
    Door Holder

    2 bolts
    4 washers
    Some straps
    Tools used:
    Bosch 18V screwdriver
    Boat: Sea Nymph 14K
    Cameras used:
    Panasonic Lumix GH4

    That's the best idea I have seen yet. I think that's what I'll aim for. Excellent idea.

    I wish I could find this product here in the US. It would be great for making a set of collapsible wheels for transporting my inflatable boat

    3:15 always put washers, any weight will pull right over those screw heads

    Hi I have the same boat and I would like to know if you have upgraded/improved the strength of your transom.

    Why are you not using Robertson wood screws ? ;-)

    Do you have the info for the door holder? Brand or where you found it? Thanks

    • @thediycrab2674
      @thediycrab2674  Před 6 lety

      I bought it at my local Biltema here in Sweden, it's their own branded one aswell. You can find these in a lot of hardware stores.

    How has it worked out for you? Any problems or changes?

    • @thediycrab2674
      @thediycrab2674  Před 6 lety

      No problems so far, it works fine as long as you don't drive too fast and if you do you just fold it up. The only modification I made is that I added a short lace/cord in the spring that I fastened to the wood to not loose the sprint when driving.

      The DIY Crab thanks. I'm thinking about going with your idea.

    • @thediycrab2674
      @thediycrab2674  Před 6 lety

      Nice :) it's cheap and costs you less than an hour of work so it's just to try it out :)

    • @gordcross1266
      @gordcross1266 Před 6 lety

      Cool idea. Some nylon locking nuts or lock washers would reduce the risk of the transducer coming off. Vibration might loosen regular nuts.
      How much does it spray water while driving?

      I've been looking for those door holders... any other identifying numbers on it so I can find them...

  • @DTTucson
    @DTTucson Před 5 lety

    Idea is nice, but no such door holder at Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Amazon, Google, etc. Package looks like Biltema is manufacturer. But their website doesn't accept English in searching nor suppliers in the US. So it can't be repeated.

    That would never work at a higher speed it would pop up. No way to lock it down
