I am trying to contact the owner for you and find out the answer to your question.
I am in the process of writing an article asking others for advice on which fish-finder is the best option as I am considering getting one for this season – watch this space

Love the article – can you tell me more about the “External folding arm for Fishfinder Transducer” for the Humminbird 47 3D fishfinder ? I would like to get one for a kayak, but cannot find how to attach the transducer (this model uses a special transducer)
