Message for all bird users. I dislike, understatement, using floats with my transducer cable. So, I used a Marcum transducer support arm and attached it to the support post on my ice45. It took less 30 minutes and is rock solid. Packs up nice for storage and still allows for the transducer cable to wrap around the support post. Turned out excellent.
1. Dissemble the support arm from post.
2. Bore out support post to accommodate a 1.5" 1/4 bolt. I used all stainless and a nylon lock nut. This bolt fits snug with the support arm.
3. Tighten down the arm down. Tighten until snug, do not over tighten.
4. You can use the humminnird's cable clamps or use Marcum's transducer stops, purchase from their website. I took the stop from my showdown.
I bought the arm from Amazon, link below.
