[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 421527, member: 12925"] I solved this issue on mine with the Sternmate Transducer Mounting System. I bought a helix 9 and wanted to mount it flush for on plane readings for the few times in the lake, but have had them ripped off in the past on the river. I bought an extra mounting plate and have one high for the rivers and one low for the lakes, 4 screws and it is swapped to the other one. The plates are glued on with their special adhesive so you don't have to put holes in your transom. If you go this route make sure you put it where you want it the first time. The only way to get it off is with a lot of heat and a stout sharp scraper an it isn't easy. I got it mounted and didn't take the whale tail into account till I turned the motor all the way right and it hit. I had to order more adhesive from them and reposition the bottom plate. There is still adhesive on the hull that I haven't been able to get off yet. https://m.sternmate.com/?url=https://www.sternmate.com%2F#2806 [/QUOTE]
