My first outing with my new ODC 420, and my new Hummingbird 160 fish finder was yesterday. The fish finder I have came with the frame and the case. It also came with a bracket for suction cup mounting of the sensor.
I temporarily glued a couple of small corner brackets to the top of that to make a "hook". I hooked that around the straps that held the fish finder in its case to my tube. It was easy to slide the bracket down into the water under the tube, or up out of the way to land. The sensor is maybe 6 inches down from the bottom of the tube when in the water.
I'll have to come up with something more permanent than the glue, but it was a successful first experiment for someone who has severe PVC deficit disorder. [laugh]
