Mounting transducer on jackplate

[oscardog]

Hi, has anyone installed their transducer on their jackplate using Transducer Saver products (shield and L bracket)? If so any cons to doing this?
Thanks

No cons it is perfect.

Great product and protects your transducer better than anything out there. Check out this video:

The only con is your transducer will not work on plane as its out of the water. Most bass boats have a shoot thru transducer glued inside the hull for running on plane

Up to about 65, I used rmp mount on mine worked great

DewRonInc wgat is rmp mount?

Check out our RTL1100 also. Multiple great features with the #1 being that you physically level the transducer after the install (no need to guess prior to installation and get everything perfect ahead of time). Still a couple days left in our sale too! https://rytekmarine.com/collections/...ackplate-mount

I have one, didn't have to drill any holes in my 2003 manual 5.5-inch CMC ML-65 jack plate (used 6061-T6 > spacer bushings, alum angle). I used my iPhone 'level utility' at the lake (in gear, slow) & at home to 'level the 3n1 transducer'.

Hole shot plates are not sold for this older jack plate, so bought some 1/4-inch custom-cut 6061-T6 parts from Metals Depot website (reasonable prices). Didn't have to drill any holes in jack plate to attach the hole shot plate.

Installed the Transducer Shield Saver with L bracket in a 10” jack plate for my AI 3-in-1 over a year ago. I fish very shallow water and got tired of knocking the transducer off the transom or bending the factory mount. After replacing the factory bracket and readjusting the transducer several times, I had enough.

Ordered the TSS and had some follow up questions on install so I called them. They were great to deal with and very helpful.

I haven’t had to worry about the transducer and it’s never required readjustment. It also eliminated the echo on my sidescan from the inside of the jack plate.

Since I have a tin hull, I installed a cheap skimmer transducer using the TSS flip up spring mount on the transom. Reads depth at WOT. The shorter more compact skimmer is holding up fine even after dragging it over some shallow oyster beds and gravel bottom while idling.

I know some setups may require a different brand or mounting option, but mine came out perfect and was a simple install, even with Power Pole brackets to deal with.

Thanks for the feed back. I ordered a Transducer shield and L bracket today.

No cons...........they are built like tanks and work great.

Tracker makes a really nice aluminum plate for the slide master. has the mounting holes for many different transducers.

Premier Sonar makes a decent bracket also. I am currently running one for a Mega SI transducer.

I have my tm 150 and 3d structure on my JP, really never use sonar at speed thats when maps come in on the units.
