Suction mount for Garmin GT/CV transducers on transom

This suction mount is specifically designed to be compatible with Garmin GT and CV series transducers, which are typically installed on the transom. It allows temporary and flexible mounting of these transducers.

This mount is particularly suited to lightweight boats and situations requiring temporary installation. It is ideal for canoes, kayaks, small inflatable boats, or for use on rental boats where hull drilling is not desirable.

To install the mount, ensure the transom surface is clean, smooth, and dry. Position the suction cup firmly against the surface and press to create adhesion. The mount can then be used to secure your GT or CV transducer.

Yes, the design of this mount allows for adjustable angle of the transducer. This flexibility is essential to optimize sonar returns, reduce noise, and ensure clear readings by adapting to water conditions and boat speed.

The suction mount features a robust suction cup designed to adhere firmly to smooth surfaces, even when the vessel is in motion. It holds the transducer securely for dynamic use, though it is always recommended to check adhesion regularly, especially at high speed.

The main advantage of this mount is its flexibility and non-invasive design. It allows for quick installation and removal of the transducer without requiring any hull drilling. This is ideal for users who want to move their transducer between different boats or avoid any permanent modifications to their vessel.

Yes, like most Garmin marine accessories, this mount is designed to withstand marine environments, including exposure to salt water. It is made from durable materials to ensure a long service life in these conditions.

Yes, to ensure optimal adhesion of the suction cup, it is strongly recommended to clean and dry the surface of the transom where the mount will be attached. A clean and smooth surface guarantees better suction and more secure holding.

Yes, this suction-mount accessory (part number 010-11849-17) is an original Garmin accessory designed specifically for their GT and CV transducers.

To remove the mount, simply release the suction cup’s pressure. Most robust suction cups have a small tab or lever to break the vacuum. Gently pull this tab to detach the suction cup from the surface without leaving marks or damage.

Yes, the product description clearly states that this suction mount is compatible with Garmin fishfinders in the GT and CV series, designed to be mounted on the transom.

Yes, provided the mounting surface on the transom is smooth, clean and non-porous, this suction-cup mount can be used on aluminium or fibreglass hulls. The key is to have a flat surface for proper adhesion.

The Garmin suction cup mount (reference 010-11849-17) is a separately sold mounting accessory. The compatible transducer must be purchased separately.

The lifespan of a suction cup depends on its maintenance, frequency of use, and exposure to the elements. However, robust suction cups designed for the marine environment are built to last. Regular cleaning and proper storage will extend its lifespan.

No, this mount is specifically designed for Garmin depth sounders in the GT and CV series intended for transom mounting. Its design and adjustability are optimized for this configuration.

Yes, one of the main advantages of this mount is its portability. Thanks to its suction cup mounting system, it can be easily installed and removed, making it ideal for transferring between different boats without effort or tools.

Although the suction cup is robust and designed to keep the transducer in place while moving, it is still recommended to monitor adhesion at high speeds. For very high speeds, a permanent mounting may be more appropriate. The mount is ideal for moderate fishing or cruising speeds.

To maintain optimal grip, clean the suction cup regularly with fresh water and mild soap to remove any salt, sand, or dirt residue. Ensure it is dry before storing. Avoid leaving it exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use to preserve its elasticity.

Yes, this mount is fully suitable for transducers used in trolling, as it allows horizontal positioning of the transducer in the water and angle adjustment to optimize sonar returns at trolling speeds.

No, one of the benefits of this mount is that it is non-invasive. If installed and removed correctly, it should leave no marks or damage on the smooth surface of your boat's transom, as it requires neither drilling nor permanent adhesive.
