Thanks Quang , That looks like a good product and easy to work with.

Everytime I had to use the Hobie Latrine(mirage drive opening), I was getting annoyed by my fishfinder shade rubbing up against my side. So I decided to make a PVC mod to be able to swivel it outboard to give me more space as needed.


It reminds me a little of a cactus. The base is made out of cutting boards, the stainless steel was a piece from the transom mount that came with my fishfinder. In the finalized version, I swapped out the ball mount for a socket as with an arm connected it was going to be too high.



By loosening the wing nut on the top, I can swivel the arm out when needed.
It is stable and serves its function well.

Kayakers started doing this modification about 7 years ago in SE Florida. As of now the only fracture that I have heard of was when somebody hit a piling on a pier.

I bought the Alma and was going to do the mod myself, but then this one came up for sale for less than it was going to cost me to complete what I had started.
