Discover the range on AMIAUDSHOP.COM

For anyone who loves fishing or boating, getting the best out of their fishing equipment is a priority. One accessory that's often underrated but genuinely essential is the transducer slide bracket. In this article, we look in detail at the benefits of a SEANOX transducer slide bracket, a benchmark product designed for boaters at sea and on inland waters.

What is a transducer slide bracket?

A transducer slide bracket is a mechanical mount that lets you fix, lower or raise a transducer on the side of a boat.

What does it actually do?

• Positions the transducer correctly in the water
• Adjusts its height to suit conditions
• Protects the transducer from impacts
• Keeps the installation secure at high speed

It makes it easy to get the transducer in the right position in the water and gives it solid protection against knocks when coming alongside or running fast.

Why use a transducer bracket?

A transducer slide bracket has plenty of benefits for demanding anglers. It lets you:

• easily adjust how deep the transducer sits in the water
• adapt the transducer to boating conditions
• get better readings from your electronics

As well as protecting the transducer from knocks and rubbing, the bracket gives you a better-quality signal, so your fishing electronics, whether fishfinders or GPS, perform at their best. Its clever mounting system allows quick fitting and removal, ideal for anglers on the move or shared boats.

3. A transducer slide bracket that's easy to install

The bracket is made up of two parts:

• a part fixed directly to the boat's transom
• a moving part that slides into the first

This system gives you simple, effective vertical adjustment of the transducer.

4. Rock-solid reliability

Every SEANOX bracket is built to last.

The thickness of the stainless steel, the precision of the welds and the anti-vibration design ensure it holds firm, even in the toughest sea conditions.

Each model is available in three sizes (PM, MM, GM) to suit all types of boats and set-ups. Made from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, these brackets are designed to offer:

• precise adjustment of the transducer height
• a sturdy mounting
• easy removal of the transducer between trips

Thanks to their efficient sliding systems, they allow quick installation and correct alignment for the best possible detection. With this two-model range, SEANOX meets the needs of leisure boaters and the most demanding anglers alike, with the quality and durability of Made in France.

Designed and assembled in Vendée by a family company with more than 50 years of experience, SEANOX products are 100% made in France, strictly inspected and compliant with maritime industry standards.

How to install a SEANOX transducer slide bracket

Step 1: choose the location
Ideally on the transom, in a spot sheltered from turbulence.

The transducer should protrude:

• 3.5 mm below a fibreglass hull
• 10 mm below an aluminium hull

On boats with outboard or inboard engines, the transducer should be fitted as close as possible to the centre of the transom, but at least 38 cm from the propeller. If your propeller turns clockwise when the boat moves forward, install the transducer on the starboard side. If it turns anticlockwise, install it on the port side.

Step 2: preparation

Clean the surface where the bracket will be fitted and pre-drill if needed.

Step 3: fixing

Use the stainless steel screws and add sealant for a stronger, watertight fixing.

Step 4: fitting the transducer

Check it's correctly positioned for accurate readings.

Care and lifespan of our transducer slide brackets

A stainless steel transducer bracket needs very little maintenance. A quick rinse with fresh water after each sea trip is enough to keep it looking good and working well. Greasing the sliding system once a year can extend its life.

Why choose a SEANOX transducer slide bracket?
