Garmin Heavy Duty Transom Mount with Spray Sheild

The stainless steel structure of this, rigidity, and adjustability of the transducer angle is VASTLY superior to the junk plastic mount sent with my $1200 Echomap. Why Garmin doesn't include these with the higher end units by default, is beyond me. The plastic mount that came with the fish finder was so floppy that it actually caused the transducer to oscillate up and down while trolling at 4mph... an annoyance beyond belief after spending $1200 on the fishfinder. The metal unit is ROCK solid, sturdy, and infinitely more adjustable, so I give it a happy five star rating. I give Garmin a 2 star rating for sending me the original plastic mount that was a hunk of junk.

Exactly what I was looking for. Fit Garmin GT54-UHD.

Replaced plastic mount that came with Garmin 56 transducer…..perfect fit

Much better than the standard plastic mount! Durable and sturdy. Don’t hesitate to pay a little extra to upgrade if this is going on a boat

I bought this for to replace the plastic transducer mount which I thought would not hold up over time. THe SS mount was nice and sturdy but I replaced the 2 nuts and bolts with 1 shoulder bolt and a nut on the inside of the frame and a nut on the outside of the frame for a sturdy hold and easier adjustment if needed. I didnt think that this splash guard would really work on the new style of transducers considering that I had mine set to skim perfectly in the water but I was getting poor readings and a lot of rooster tails and vertical splashing. So I installed the splash guard and lowered the transducer and I have never seen such a smooth glide of a transducer in the water being set so low and I have no roosster tails and no vertical splash. My reading are solid and I am confident that the stainless steel mount will hold for many years to come. And the price was right, so I am happy.
