Here's how I mount my transducer on the back of the lift bar of the PA. I split a T-PVC 1 1/2 joint and put some stainless steel pipe clamp. Then put the eye bolts to hold the bungee in place. The insulator between the pipe is pool noodle. Does a good job to rotate the PVC as a bearing. The transducer is low enough to hit the water and has no drag affect. I tested different length and it's perfect with great accuracy. One thing I gotta do is clean up the wiring and drill thru the kayak to feed the wire into the hull.

Hope this pictures help. The blue portion is the pool noodle, replaceable any time and makes a great way to keep the PVC rotating and in center position.

I like it, may have to adjust some things for the transducer I have, but looks good to me.
