There are a couple of solutions on how to mount the
transducer. One is on an arm that swings down, so you can
pull it up out of the water when transporting or when in
shallow water. Another is to perminently mount it on an
arm that holds it just at water level (Only works if you
don't have to tear down the kickboat for transport).
I've seen transducer arms that you can buy, or you need
to frabricate one. If you have a trolling motor, you can
mount it on that, but not for tournaments.
