My sled carries the auger in the bottom.  It slides out the top rear of the sled once I unscrew the handle connector bolt from it's retaining block.

I just placed the auger in the bottom of the sled with the sharp blades turned sideways.  Then slid 2 pieces of 2 / 3 against it in line with the slush blades.  After screwing them to the bottom of the sled, I put 2 short pieces of furring strip against the auger shaft on opposite sides of the shaft.  This keeps the auger from sliding from side to side.  Mine is a 8" auger.  Your auger size may need more than 2 x 3 pieces to slightly lift it from the sled.

The Auger connection bolt is gets screwed into a cross block that has a threaded hole in it.  

Maybe you can rig something similar on top of your sled.    

I have an extra cross to hold the Ice anchor speed wrench.

When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

snowcone, what material did you use to make 90 degree joints?

It looks like some type of plate?
Love that sound of ice cracking at dawn!
