FISHING SPECIALTIES KAYAK BOWDUCER ASSEMBLY

FISHING SPECIALTIES KAYAK BOWDUCER ASSEMBLY

Use this mounting option for multiple types of transducers. From regular Down Scan/Down Imaging/Side Scan to Live sonars or a combination of these, this transducer arm has you covered.

You will find all the drop down menus here to select the parts that will work for your particular install. If you are wanting to mount both a Regular Transducer and a Live Imagaing Transducer, you will need to select the proper mount to mount the Regular Transducer to the bottom of the transducer arm. Then you would mount the Live Sonar Transducer on the F.S. Shaft using factory hardware you received with your Live Sonar unit.

MOUNTING PRODUCT OPTIONS:

• SUB PLATE

Mounting for the Baseplate can be done in several different ways.
If mounting on a Hobie tube (Hrail), the square/round tube clamp works very well.
If you have a track system that uses T nuts, then select the sub plate with T nuts.
And finally if you have a flat spot and wish to just mount directly to the kayak, the sub plate works best.

These mountings allow for the baseplate to be quickly removed using 2 thumbscrews.

If you intend to use a Ram Ball set to mount the baseplate, you need no mounting at all and can just secure the Ram Ball to the bottom of the baseplate directly. So do not select a mounting below.

• BASEPLATE

The baseplate is the part that holds the downrod. It is attached to the mounting above.
Most common is an 8.25" inch baseplate. Sub plate mountings are 4 inches. Allow sufficient span to get the downrod out over the water.

• DOWNROD LENGTH

Downrods support all scanning sonars.
Choose 24 inch or 36 depending on how you fish. If you fish standing you may want more height on the downrod to bring the handle into a more comfortable position.

• TRANSDUCER MOUNTING

The Downrod Ends support specific Transducers as shown below.

- Downrod End Garmin Livescope supports LVS32 transducer in Forward and Down views. You will use your Factory LVS32 Transom bracket to mount this. 

- Downrod Post End works great with Garmin and Lowrance Factory Trolling Motor Shaft mounting hardware. This should also be selected for use with the Humminbird Mega LIVE transducer.

- Downrod End Lowrance 3in1 & Totalscan Trnasducers.

Through the many systems installed in our shop, we have found that the Down Rod End for Live Sonar works the best when mounting the Garmin or Lowrance Live Tranducers using the factory mount hardwarE.Also, you can cut the Fishing Specialties Transducer Arm fit your particular kayak mounting depth if needed.
