Mount for hydraulic lift (Jack plate)

This mount is designed to simplify the installation of Garmin compatible scanning transducers on boats equipped with a hydraulic lift (jack plate). It provides a specific mounting solution for these configurations.

Benefits include:

Optimized sonar performance, particularly at low speeds. Ideal positioning of the transducer. Protection of the transducer against potential damage from underwater obstacles. A design that minimizes drag on the hull. The ability to precisely adjust the transducer angle to maintain parallelism with the water surface. The ability to lift the transducer out of the water when the boat is planing.

The mount is designed to protect the transducer from potential damage that could be caused by underwater obstacles, while ensuring secure positioning and allowing it to be lifted out of the water at high speed.

No, the design of this Garmin mount is engineered to minimize additional drag on the hull, unlike other mounting systems that may create more drag.

Yes, the transducer angle can be precisely adjusted to maintain parallelism with the water surface, which is crucial for sonar image quality.

The ability to remove the transducer from the water when the boat is planing prevents the sonar from tracking the seabed at high speed, a common situation with traditional mounts that can degrade readings.

This mount provides a specific integration for boats equipped with a hydraulic lift, which differs from standard transom or through-hull fittings. It optimizes sonar performance, particularly at low speeds, and allows the transducer to be lifted out of the water during planing.

A hydraulic lift, also known as a jack plate, is a device mounted on the transom of a boat that allows adjustment of the outboard motor's height. This provides performance benefits and enables specific transducer mounting solutions such as this Garmin bracket.

This mount is compatible with Garmin 4-, 8-, or 12-pin transducers. It is designed for scanning-compatible transducers.

No, this mount is specifically designed for Garmin transducers (4, 8, or 12-pin) and is not compatible with transducers from other manufacturers.

The mount is designed to facilitate the installation of compatible scanning transducers on boats equipped with a hydraulic lift. While it is intended to be versatile with this type of equipment, it is recommended to consult the installation instructions to ensure compatibility with your specific jack plate model.

To identify the connector type of your Garmin transducer (4, 8, or 12 pins), refer to the technical documentation provided with your transducer or check Garmin's specifications on their website.

This mount is specifically designed for boats equipped with a hydraulic lift (jack plate). It is not intended for boats without this equipment.

According to the installation instructions, a 3.2 mm (1/8 in) drill bit is required for mounting the bracket.

Additional washers can be used as spacers if adjustments are needed for optimal mounting.

Installation instructions are provided with the product. While installation can be performed by a competent user, it is always recommended to carefully follow all steps in the guide to ensure correct and secure installation.

The recommended drill bit size for mounting holes is 3.2 mm (1/8 in).

The bracket allows precise adjustment of the transducer's angle. During installation and final adjustments, ensure the transducer is positioned to maintain parallelism with the water surface to optimize sonar image quality.

The bracket is designed to be mounted on the hydraulic lift to ensure ideal positioning of the transducer. It is important to consult the provided installation instructions to identify the recommended and optimal mounting locations on your jack plate.

Before starting the installation, it is essential to carefully read the instructions provided with the mount. It is also recommended to ensure you have all the necessary tools and to identify the optimal mounting location on your hydraulic lift.
