I will be tossing together an ice shuttle/stand for my sonar this year as the backpack setup I had last year was pretty frustrating to use.

Wondering if anyone has some pics to share of their ice shuttle/mount/stand? What does yours look like! Would love to see some... they might jog my imagination when building mine!

I still need to work on mine (build some sort of platform - probably will just use a piece of treated wood). But for the kayak I used this fishfinder install kit - which I plan to install on the platform I just mentioned.

Normally all the cables fit inside that enclose along with a 9amp Milwaukee Battery.

I used to keep mine in my tackle bag. Had space for 2-3 x 3600 trays, battery and cables. i Could fit the head inside the bag as well, yours is...a little bigger.

I rigged this up on my Humminbird shuttle last year. Not for a set rod but to be free up hands when walking around. Found it useful to secure rods while i moved the sled as well.

I use a small hard cooler . Works great . Velcro on the bottom of the lid and on the bottom of my screen. Flip the lid over and set ontop

The clam bag has a viewing window - that was one of the main reasons I got it as I like to fish outside (hole hop) and this way if it's windy or snowy it will not mess up my screen.

Small Hard Cooler x2 with holes in the back for wires. Mount screwed into the top. Sits right on the ice. No issues so far. I also use it in the summer as a portable finder. Just switch out the ice ducer and clamp on the soft water ducer on the back of the tinner.
