Build your own forward facing sonar pole mount for around $100.00. Complete DIY Build 

@ClearviewOutdoors We appreciate you watching.

@turdferguson5300 There is always improvements for everything. I appreciate the suggestion! I also made an interchangeable control arm in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5oymI2XLgDM.html Don't know if you seen it.

@@hazmoreoutdoorproducts2977 I mounted my rig to the Humminbird 360 pole so it goes in with the trolling motor way up on the front of the boat 5' away. I know because I needed a 6' piece of hydraulic hose. That was the main expense of the build. I live between Watts Bar and Sequoyah nuclear plants and they take their scrap to Seaton Metals in Athens Tn. where I buy aluminum and stainless for $1.25 per pound. Almost any size you can imagine so the metal was cheap and so were the stainless ball bearings and collars from Amazon. They got me on the hose but nothing else worked as well and believe me I tried several things. I even tried a toilet snake, (a new toilet snake) but as you can imagine it was shitty. (pun intended) My next project will be power poles. Seaton had 1"diameter stainless conduit that I'm planning to start with, Walmart has 8' fiberglass poles in the garden section, and the plates/mounts will be aluminum. I think 12 volt actuators will be enough to hold a metal boat I just don't want the extremely slow ones. That will be the expense in this project. I don't want a remote just a simple up and down switch. I'd be happy if they held in 12' but we'll see. These mounts also need to fold forward for backing in the garage or not going through the roof of the boat dock. When your boat is going up in the lift you do not want to hear wood splintering. Not that I do anything like that. lol
