[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 173173, member: 2096"] If you look at how a humminbird transducer mounts you will see that it can flip up if it bangs on something. This will prevent it from breaking. I would think that other brands have similar designs. I have 8 transducer mounting holes in the back of my boat. Most people do actually put holes in the boat to mount the transducer, speedometer, live-well fill/drain etc. After the first whole the rest are easy. You can use something like this if you want to keep the holes above the waterline: [url]https://www.cabelas.com/sonar-accessories-cabelas-transducer-mounting-plates-1.shtml?type=product&WT.tsrc=CSE&WT.mc_id=GoogleBaseUSA&WT.z_mc_id1=701430&rid=40&mr:trackingCode=84F70CCB-958E-DF11-A0C8-002219318F67&mr:referralID=NA[/url] [/QUOTE]
