DaveM	03/12/2020 02:45PM   Amarillo, it looks like you use hanger strap for the transducer. Is it stiff enough for trolling at paddling travel speed, or is it too flexible?
KarlBAndersen1	03/04/2020 08:21AM   Moonman: " I also use the titelok system, but since I have wooden thwarts I use their permanent receiver mount, which is screwed down to my thwarts. Moonman" I love the amount of options they have.
singlebladecanoe	03/10/2020 02:17PM   whitecedar: "Waterboy, nice setup, are all those parts manufactured by Scotty? I looked on their webpage and I only see short sections of track? Thanks!" Those Scotty bases will work with YakAttack gear track.
singlebladecanoe	02/29/2020 06:52PM   Looking for ideas on a good way to install/use rod holder mounts. I just picked up a Wenonah Advantage in carbon and would like to troll for trout while paddling. Anyone have any suggestions?
Reke0402	03/02/2020 12:06PM   I really want to make something similar to that buy i can't find the clamps anywhere, do you guys have any suggestions?
ericinely	03/03/2020 03:06PM   Ram Mount Rod holder (few different versions depending on rod: spinning vs baitcasting) and the Tough Claw ball attachment. It is going to cost you $40-60 depending on what combo you get, but nothing will hold tighter...guaranteed. Don't use those flimsy aluminum framed options that will definitely scratch up your gear. Also want something that will hold your gunwale without damaging it AND hold when a 30+ pike/trout hits...

AmarilloJim	03/13/2020 06:32AM   DaveM: "Amarillo, it looks like you use hanger strap for the transducer. Is it stiff enough for trolling at paddling travel speed, or is it too flexible?" That is correct. They work great
AmarilloJim	03/02/2020 09:02AM   This is my set up from ideas on this site.
singlebladecanoe	03/03/2020 07:11AM   AmarilloJim: " This is my set up from ideas on this site. " Awesome, thanks. I thought I had seen that somewhere but couldn't rememmber where. Where did you get the plastic clamp pieces from?
whitecedar	03/10/2020 11:35AM   Waterboy, nice setup, are all those parts manufactured by Scotty? I looked on their webpage and I only see short sections of track? Thanks!
Moonman	03/03/2020 07:41PM   I also use the titelok system, but since I have wooden thwarts I use their permanent receiver mount, which is screwed down to my thwarts. Moonman
Waterboy	03/05/2020 03:39PM   Here's the setup we use. The fish finder runs on AAA batteries so it does not require an external battery pack.
Mickeal	03/08/2020 02:23PM   Shoreline Marine Adjustable SL52131 Rod Holder Rail-Mount Is what I have on all my canoes.
AmarilloJim	03/02/2020 01:16PM   Reke0402: "I really want to make something similar to that buy i can't find the clamps anywhere, do you guys have any suggestions?" You can make your own for about 5$
Savage Voyageur	03/01/2020 07:33AM   One of the best ideas I’ve seen was here by someone. Make a board that clamps to the top of the gunnels. Then he attached his depth finder and rod holder. It really looks nice and is handy to store things under bungee cord straps. Just look in the search At the top middle of the page and you will find the picture and many more pictures and descriptions.
singlebladecanoe	03/03/2020 01:02PM   AmarilloJim: "They are Spring Creek but I have not seen them around for a couple years. Homemade would be just as good." Thank you.
IndyCanoe	03/02/2020 08:47AM   +1 on Savage Voyager's idea. I created something very similar for our canoe at home based on an idea I learned here. For me it is great because I can use it at home and take it with us when we rent a canoe in the BWCA. My craftsmanship is not even close to the original but it works. I had originally intended to mount the rod holders in a similar fashion but actually just drilled a 1.5 inch hole offset to one side. It has worked so well that I have not mounted the rod holders yet. I found a couple of threads with pictures from AmarilloJim. Garmin Striker 4 fish finder questions Fish Finder for my application
IndyCanoe	03/02/2020 09:06AM   AmarilloJim: " This is my set up from ideas on this site. " We must have started typing at the same time. Those are the pictures that i referenced.
KarlBAndersen1	03/03/2020 04:59PM   I use the Tite Loc system. The clamp locks securely onto a thwart. I leave the clamp on the whole trip and remove the holder at my leisure with the toggle. The holder threads down into the clamp. The holder swivels and rotates into any position you desire.
Savage Voyageur	03/03/2020 01:52PM   Reke0402: "I really want to make something similar to that buy i can't find the clamps anywhere, do you guys have any suggestions?" Go to any Rockler woodworking store, or go to their online site. They have any clamp you could ever want.
Waterboy	03/10/2020 03:09PM   whitecedar : Here are the Scotty parts I used: 282 Rod Holder Combo Camera Mount 438 Gear Head Track Adapter 439 PVC Slide Track Looks like Scotty may have discontinued but I you could call them and see if they still have a few left. See photo below. 440 Low Profile Track These are 1.75” wide x 7/16” thick available in 4 and 8” long. If your thwart is not wide enough for these, you could mount to a 1.75” wide board and then attach the board to your thwart. YakAttack Trac These should also work.
whitecedar	03/10/2020 04:06PM   Thanks for taking the time to link all the parts. Very clean setup!
AmarilloJim	03/03/2020 07:19AM   They are Spring Creek but I have not seen them around for a couple years. Homemade would be just as good.
