Initially, echo sounders (sonars) were manufactured for installation on large fishing and industrial vessels. They helped liners avoid running aground or detect large numbers of fish. Today, such gadgets are increasingly common in the fishing arsenal of almost every fisherman.
Echo sounders are often used in conjunction with underwater video cameras, allowing for the landing of substantial, substantial trophies. Taking trophy fishing tours on the Putorana Plateau allows anglers not only to enjoy catching noble salmon species (taimen, brown trout, lenok, grayling) but also to learn various life hacks and fishing know-how.
Our article discusses the different types of fishfinder mounts that are convenient for installation and use on inflatable watercraft, rafts, boats, and the like.
What types of echo sounder holder designs are there?
Whether homemade or store-bought, structures have many differences and peculiarities. These include:
Transom mounts
Mounted using transoms. These are metal plates that are often the same size as the sides of the boat. On inflatable boats, they can be either fixed or outboard. We've previously discussed how to mount a fish finder on transoms.
Mortise structures
These are the ones that are attached with brackets or brackets. With this type of mounting, the fish finder transducer is fixed, i.e., embedded in the bottom of the boat. It is best located in front of the keel or propellers of the outboard motor.
Attached to the bottom of boats
These are considered the most optimal fasteners for installation on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. The transducer can be secured using epoxy resin.
Rotary-mortise mounts for echo sounder holders
These designs are the most popular and sought-after among fishermen in our country. The transducer on these mounts can rotate 120 degrees, allowing for a wider view of what's underwater. These mounts are considered the safest and best.
Briefly about the main thing
