Hummingbird holder

[O clarkii lewisi]

Can you share your solutions for holding a Hummingbird (100 or 200) on a Southfork? I have not found a commercial solution that has worked. Most of the sleeve and strap solutions that I have bought just don't hold tight enough and slip from holding the finder securely. I'd like a DIY solution but I am not a welder so am not up for that type of project. If any one has a solution that works for you, could you share it here and include a picture. Thanks in advance!!

Here’s a few views of my homegrown mount. Its made of 3/16 lexan i had laying around, the finder and transducer mount to the lexan, the battery is in the grey box and the pvc pipe holds all the excess transducer cable. Mounts to the frame with one bolt, thumb nut shown.
Once tightened down its secure, seeable, and pretty much out of the way when rowing or fishing. I don’t know abouy the hummingbird models, but if you can screw them down something like this might work.

Are you talking of the fishing buddy series (110-140). If so check out

Is there a good way to mount a Fishing Buddy on a pontoon?

The current aftermarket strap/tube arrangement has entirely too much flex to be useful.

if not do you have a photo of your unit?
I use the Scotty clamps (241&242) on my southfork foot rest rail and made my own transducer mount like Guy Gregory.

Thank you Guy and Mark! I should have indicated that it is a fishing buddy 110. I see everything that I need in the other thread now.
I will review all of that great info for ideas and inspiration.

I tried it out Friday and the mount is solid as a rock. A major improvement over the previous Cabelas one strap system.
