Garmin Ready transducer mount

Awesome work dude! Had I not butchered my Lowrance ready and zip-tied, I would totally be interested in one. Curious why you opted to leave the bottom open... Do you see there being a big enough interference from the plastic to trade-off protecting the transducer?

Thanks man. I left it open originally because it makes it easier to flush the sand out of there and also thought that the trap sand and plastic would affect the readings. But from what I've been reading from other forums, the plastic and sand shouldn't affect the readings. Either way, this thing works perfectly right now.

Will it fit any garmin transducer? My old lowrance HDS is about to give up ghost and thinking about getting a garmin..mainly due to the price. Which garmin do you have?
Thanks!

I have the Garmin Striker Plus 5cv. I'm thinking most of the gramin transducer has the same bolt pattern. as for the length, I am not sure. If you have the dimension of your transducer, I can do a quick measurement.

Haven’t bought the garmin yet
I’m trying to revive my old lowrance by giving it a cleaning and some dielectric grease treatment
We will see if comes back alive and if it doesn’t I will probably go with garmin’s 5” or 6” model
I’m pretty comfortable with the setting on my lowrance so trying hard not to learn new ff if I can...
My concern also was how to fit the transducer in the lowrance ready kayak but your idea solves that problem
Thank you!

Wow rad... you are on to something here.

Are you 3D printing this thing? Super cool.
