Firstly a massive thanks to Alex Whitehead and Paul Malov, we seem to have been able to pull off an interstate project in just over a week and ready for on the water testing! The total scan transducer bolts up to the existing location and uses the two plastic mounts we have come up with.
The new cover sits over the top of the transducer to save it from wear and tear.
The cover sits just under the sides of the hull on a Pro Angler and as Alex found out it fits nicely on the trailer.
Alex was first on the water this morning and sent this screen shot of the side scan in action.
He originally had his transducer glued through hull and was not happy with the image I woke up to a very excited message from him this morning… “That transducer mount is awesome! Bolted straight up really quickly and its providing the same crisp image as when I had it hanging over the rear of the kayak but now with no hassle!”.
Check out this mulloway he landed this morning also to top it off.
Thanks heaps for your help and the images Alex! Tomorrow morning I am catching up with Paul to see how his works we fitted up earlier in the week.
Here’s some more screenshots to bust the myths of loss of clarity using the Totalscan Mount

Will this also work on the Hobie Outback?
Hi Michael yes it will!
When can I get one I have a ti7 id like to buy this mount for my hobie pa? Thank you
Hi Joezef. They are available in our store now! Thanks for the interest

Best regards
Mirco
Hi Mirco
We ship world wide. If you just on the shop you can place an order! Thanks
Available in the US, or Australia only right now?
Hi Roger. These are available online in our store. http://www.berleypro.com/shop and also we have a shipment on the way to Mariner Sails in Texas which will arrive next week. I hope this helps!
Does it let in enough water for the temp to read correctly? Any issue with sand or mud getting lodged under the cover?
Hi, it has 2 drain holes in the cover and a large hole at the rear for water to pass out. It gives a good temperature reading also. We haven’t had any issues yet in regards to sand getting stuck.
does this fit with ocean kayak trident 4.3?
how long waiting on my kayak ㅠㅠ
Hi Kim no this is only suited for Hobie Kayaks sorry.
I have a hummingbird 999si and need a cover for hobie pa14 do you have anything that will work?
I have a Lowrance elite 7 ti I’m planning on mounting it on my new 2017 pa 12, (when it arrives)
Will this work?
Hi Mike
This mount will work with the TotalScan transducer mount.

Thanks
Hi Martyn
Do you know if the mount is suitable for the Gen 3 3D transducer as they are close to the same size
Hi Bruce
Won’t fit with the 3D transducer. I’m currently working on one!
Thanks Martyn, how far off do you think the 3D mount will be.
Hey Bruce
Just producing the prototype now. Should be just after xmas!
Hi Marylyn,
Great idea. Am also keenly awaiting to install my 3D transducer this method once your product is out. Any time estimates?
Hey Dave, Should have a first look at the 3d structure transducer mount early next week!
Hi Marylyn.
I’m ready to purchase this product for the 3d structure scan for my Hobie T17. I don’t see it on your website yet. Is it available to order?
Thanks so much.
Hey James
This transducer mount doesn’t fit the 3d transducer. I will have these for sale next week!
Thanks
Hey Marylyn.
One more question. Do the cables for the 3-d transducer fit through the existing through hull fittings for the Hobie lowrance ready feature or does it require drilling additional holes?
Thanks again.
It requires the bigger three outlet thru hull fitting for the 3D transducer
Hey Bruce
Could you please flick me a email with your contact details to [email protected]
Thanks
Oops!! Sorry, I looked further up and see your name is Martyn.
Will this mount work with the older structure scan transducers (lss2)?
Hi Matt this does. You need to mount the sonar transducer separate though. email me at [email protected] for more info
Hey guys I have a question. I am looking for a good transducer mount for my kayak. My kayak is an ascend Fs12t and I have been debating about setting it up in my scupper or from my rod holder. My issue is, is that I have a pretty long transducer and everything that I have looked at seems to have the smaller transducer. Do you have a product that will work with my garmin echomap chirp 44dv transducer for the model kayak that I have?
Hi Shawn
Sorry I haven’t seen that model or how to mount them. Is there a location for them? You could adapt a lowrance scupper mount to fit that maybe?
I was wondering if this will fit a 2015 outback
Hi Tommy
So long as it is Lowrance Ready with the plate on the base it will fit this mount :D
