Hello, i am trying to see or figure out how to mount the transducer and speed wheel on my pontoon. The back of my pontoons don't have the brackets on them for mounting stuff. Any ideas?? Thank you in advance

I've helped a friend deal with that before, and it wasn't pretty. The transom brackets are really the best way on a toon. Even if you don't want to get one or two welded on, bend your own and epoxy them on.

I bent a piece of 1/8" aluminum I had in a vice and used silver silicone to hold it on. It worked great and looked nice as well. The next time I had my friend do some welding for me on the boat he welded it on. Let me tell you what a pain it was to get that thing off so i could clean it up before welding. It was amazing I thought the whole end cap was going to tear off.
