I wanted a mount that I could quickly remove, store then reattached when I move locations on the lake, but with the added ability to remove entirely when not fishing. A ram mount and a track adapter were used for adjustably and removal when not fishing. Pole is made from 1/2" EMT pipe held in by a coupler. The ring was held in place by a brass insert and socket head set screw. The factory supplied mount was used to mount the sonar unit to the the emt along with some PVC piping. On the water the handle removes easily and stays in place while fishing, after more use I may make some modifications such as a tab to keep in place but first time out I didn't find I needed it.
