 Fish finder/gps
So I just bought a lowrance elite 5, mostly for GPS purposes. I'm not too concerned with the fish finder, but I wouldn't mind knowing depths. I'm hesitant to put the transducer on the transom, I'm worried it will get ripped off, I was curious if any of y'all have one and how you mounted your transducer.

 Re: Fish finder/gps
On my last boat I made a sliding bracket that allowed me to loosen and raise the transducer when I was going to be breaking ice or running cattails. I just turned the wing nut and slid the transducer up 12 inches and it lasted. Worked great.

 Re: Fish finder/gps
Here is a pic of mine. Same as the one above. So far no issues backing up in the mud. When you are running deep just pull the pin and drop it down.
