Super Easy DIY Kayak Transducer Mount: Step-by-Step Guide

- In this video, I'll show you how to create a budget-friendly and hassle-free DIY kayak transducer mount for fish finders. With just a few simple steps, you can easily make this mount using readily available materials from your local hardware store. Not only is it incredibly affordable, but it also performs exceptionally well, providing accurate readings while you're out on the water.
I completed this project with a Garmin Striker 4 Transducer and mounted it in the scupper holes on my 2020 Jackson Coosa FD. However, with a few minor tweaks this method will work with most transducers and kayaks.
By following this DIY project, you'll not only save money but also have the satisfaction of creating a custom transducer mount tailored to your kayak. No need to spend a fortune on expensive commercial mounts when you can achieve the same functionality with this super cheap alternative.

I had to say thanks for the video. I have a Jackson Bite Angler and just mounted a striker 4 with a Scotty mount. I will be getting rid of the Scotty transducer mount and switching to the scupper hole thanks to you. Keep up the good work!
@@ScottKurbyun you’re welcome! I have been using mine for over a year with zero issues. The only thing I would change is buying a shorter bolt vs cutting the long one down.
Awesome! Great idea and video explaining it. Thanks.
@@SongFong I’m glad you found it helpful, thank you for the kind comment! I used it for over a year without any issues. The only thing I would have done differently is just buy a shorter bolt than having to cut the long one lol.
you are my hero!!!
Glad you found this helpful! After a year of use it’s still working great.
Thank you!
You’re welcome! I used this set up for the entire 2023 season and it worked great. This year I bought a new fish finder and the transducer is much bigger / longer. Hoping I can still use this cheap method 🤞
Sorry for my ignorance does it leak any
Are you wondering about water coming into the kayak? I mounted it through an existing scupper hole, I believe my kayak has 6 scupper holes, a bit of water can splash in through all of the scupper holes, and then drain back out. The transducer mount blocks most of the water from splashing in, but a little bit still gets in, but there’s still 5 other open scuppers where more water comes in and out. I hope that answers your question!
