with my old humminbird
i used the pvc arm to drop transducer over the side for some years
just tucked it under my hatch straps
was kinda a hassle but worked
then after some time I made a wet mount inside hull that worked well

tried the wet well with the dragonfly but it leaked after a few attempts
maybe ducer is just too long to get a good seal with the foam

current setup is the ram transducer arm on a ram ball
ducer over the side in water
easier to flip up/stow and deploy
the black plastic sleeve is useless and creates xtra drag,
the rod alone is fine.

still hangs up in kelp, but not as bad as the pvc
less drag than the pvc
nice clear picture

for the time and parts needed to make it custom
I found it was more cost effective to just buy the ram mount setup
pretty happy with it
