What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly view this Garmin mount as a premium, essential upgrade for serious boaters. The core theme is superior durability; its robust construction withstands harsh marine environments far better than standard mounts, ensuring long term reliability for expensive transducers. A key feature is the integrated spray shield, which effectively minimizes water interference, leading to cleaner sonar returns crucial for accurate readings, especially at speed. While the initial cost is high, users agree the investment is justified by the enhanced protection and longevity it provides. This mount is seen as a necessary performance enhancer securing the sonar system's functionality.
Know before you buy
This heavy-duty mount is designed specifically for Garmin CV and GT series transducers. Please verify your specific transducer model number against the CV or GT series compatibility list before purchasing.
Yes, the integrated spray shield is engineered to deflect water away from the transducer housing. This significantly reduces the rooster tail effect often seen at higher speeds.
This mount is versatile enough to be installed on either a standard transom or a boat step. Its adjustable design allows you to fine-tune the angle to ensure the transducer remains parallel to the water surface regardless of the mounting location.
Yes, by allowing for precise angle adjustments, this mount helps keep the transducer properly aligned with the water flow. This prevents the common issue of the sonar losing the bottom reading when your boat is up on plane.
The mount is constructed from high-grade, heavy-duty ABS plastic designed to withstand the rigors of marine environments. It is built to resist corrosion and handle the physical stress of water resistance at speed.
