Old post, I know. Can you give me some more info on this? Placement in canoe, how you fastened/secured it, maybe a picture?


I have my cedar strip I built, and want to mount a fish finder.

I am thinking of trying to mount my transducer inside my cedar strip canoe this summer. Has anyone tried this? I would like to semi-permanently mount it with silicone. Thanks!

many canoes etc, have a hot spot will say that it will work. Experiment a little bit. I do have a hard time in my solo Prism tho. My Souris-no problem.

Plastic bag method worked for me. Fill a ziplock about halfway and rest the transducer on it. Just have to find the right balance where the transducer is sort of cradled in the bag. Can place it anywhere.

I dont know about wood but my Vexilar boundry water will shoot through my Souris river and my grumman if it is sitting in a small amount of water in the bottom of the canoe. It dosent do as well if it is dry? Anthony

Put a big dab of silicone on, and bury the transducer in it. Works on cedar and Kevlar boats. Nice to have a permanent mount.
