Does the clamp mount slide or tip up to get the transducer out of the water

I have not had any trouble like that with mine, if it fits tight to the transom it cannot tilt. Good luck. JHC

The mounting bracket allows for adjusting the angle of the transducer in the water and for tilting the transducer out of the water. Also, the entire transducer assembly can be lifted out of the bracket leaving only the bracket attached to the boat.Ken Goff

it tips up but you can just pull it out of the clamp as well. I use small bungees to help stabilize it while trolling that way it doesn't pop out of the clamp. It is a real good finder with a little modification like bungees.

The clamp mount is stationary, you have to pick the transducer straight up out of the holding bracket to get it out.

No, but the unit clicks in and out of the mount pretty well. I've never had trouble just pulling it out as I approach the dock.

It a Screw type fitting. I pull out the fish finderr and lift into the craft.

I have the 140C, same design. The clamp is "hard mounted" to the deck of my pontoon boat. The clamp is solid, it does not tip, but my mount allows me to move it side to side. To use the unit, you have to slide it into the holder from above, remove it when finished and cruising. I use it only when I am using my trolling motor to position my boat, otherwise it creates too much stress on the unit if you are going fast. The beauty of it is that I can turn it in the holder, thereby scanning the area for fish.

not on this model, on the more expensive ones maybe, would be a good feature for a kayak. for a boat its still pretty easy to just lift the transducer up out of the clamp and lay it down while u r moving.

It Slides and the 140 series has an additional telescopic feature. My advice, get yourself a Lawrance or Garmin fishfinder and use this with a portable transducer bracket from Tite-Lok. Alternatively you can get a kit to clamp the transducer onto your electric trolling motor - Garmin do one. Personally,I wouldn't touch the Humminbird, cheap and tacky.

In your situation I think you may have to mount the transducer on some kind of pole that you could clamp to the transom unless the transom sits down into the water deep enough - you may want to check with a Zodiac dealer for their recommendation as they may have the experience and knowledge -good luck!

If you tighten down the screw with an Alan key (any hardware store/scuba guide should have one handy) then it should keep the camera pointed straight. If all you did was finger tighten then it'll probably slip.

It takes less than 4 pounds to move my slide. That is with an electronic kitchen scale. If the clamp is fully released there really is not much that could cause the slide to be difficult to move if the outboard end is not dragging on the table. The slide is restrained within the "V" section of the side and the plastic "L" shape on the bottom. I don't see an adjustment in the guides.

There is a screw clamp under the unit that clamps it to a table edge or a piece of board. If you look closely at the picture, you can see the flat piece of the clamp sticking out just to the right and behind the down spout. I have mine mounted on a 1 x 2 piece of pine that I clamp to my loading bench. That allows me to move the measure out of the way without unclamping it altogether.

Yes. It has a quick release mount for the sonar, and It has a transom mount for the transducer. A mount for the transducer to the trolling motor is available from humminbird. Spend the extra $10 bucks for a plastic screen cover for when you store it.

If you follow the directions for using one of the two mounting options that come with the boom, you will not have problems with it tipping. BUT... remember that the boom rests in a base and is held there by gravity and if you "lift" the entire boom when you are moving the microphone around, you could accidentally lift it out of the base and it will fall. This has never happened to me, much less have I ever felt the boom lifting when I was lifting the mic. Do not forget to order an adapter between the vibration isolator and the boom. There are two standard threads and adapters available ($3.00+/-) on Amazon and most music stores to adapt one thread to the other

I have my transducer mounted on the transom of my 24' center console with an outboard engine. I start to lose the bottom when I get in the upper teens MPH which is very frustrating. I believe that my transducer is getting some interference to the water flow and will try to reposition it.

The clamp that come with it holds it nice tight...it has never fell off ever, even riding in rough terrain!

Not exactly sure what you are referring to. The center section slides out after the slider clamp is loosened, similar to the legs sliding down. You do have to remove the bottom piece with the hook used to weight the tripod. Does this help?

No problem! And yes it stays at the tip. you cannot slide it back and forth.
2220440
Yes it Does. Only problem is You Need a deep Tank as it can only go Upright and the tip needs to be out of the water? as indicated on the intruction. I have my in a BOYU 300Lts

Baffle has been secure. Haven't seen any problem with it tipping or flopping.

Can't improve much on Dave's answer. The 2 1/2 inch handles are shown on the other side in the photo, and less than 1 turn loosens the clamp mount. It then "rides the rail" to wherever you need it. He also made an excellent point; make sure you get a grip on whatever is mounted, because gravity will turn the clamp mount upside down.

Make sure it's unplugged as it's not good for the motor to run without water through it. From memory it slides and there are faint raised lines to grip on to. I used a skewer to do move it.

It depends on the diameter of the mic but this has never happened to me with my Audio Technics ATR6550. It is 13/16" in diameter and I can hold it with the mic straight up and down and it doesn't slip.

Yes the clamp is attached. You can also remove it and change the position from horizontal to vertical.
