Ordered my Sternmate yesterday so I could avoid drilling holes in my transom to mount my transducer. I'm ready to get it so I can get my electronics up and running.

Oh, I have no affilitation or connections to this product or the owner, or the manufacturer. Just didn't want holes in my transom.

Let us know the outcome...

Shouldnt you be coaching hurdlers or something?

I recently got an 898 and due to the configuration of my transom had to run two transducers with a y cable. I used sternmates to mount them and just love it. Pretty much infinintely adjustable to make sure you get the best possible resolution and very easy to install plus no hole in the boat. To add to all that they are right here in Texas. Very friendly people to deal with with a fine product that makes everything look very neat when installed. I am also not affilliated with them in any way, just a very satisfied customer in an age where most things do not live up to expectations.
