Mounting for the Baseplate can be done in several different ways. If mounting on a Hobie tube (Hrail), the square and round tube clamp work very well. If you have a track system that uses T nuts, then select the sub plate with T nuts. And finally if you have a flat spot and wish to just mount directly to the kayak, the sub plate works best.
These mountings allow for the baseplate to be quickly removed using 2 thumbscrews.
If you intend to use a Ram Ball set to mount the baseplate, you need no mounting at all and can just secure the Ram Ball to the bottom of the baseplate directly.
The baseplate is the part that holds the downrod. It is attached to the mounting above. Most common is an 8 inch baseplate. Consider the drawing below when selecting a baseplate: Sub plate mountings are 4 inches. Allow sufficient span to get the downrod out over the water.
Downrods support all scanning sonars.

- Downrod end supports specific Transducers as shown below.
- Downrod End Garmin Livescope supports LVS32 transducer in Forward and Down views.
- Multi View downrod end supports Garmin and Lowrance Forward, Down and Scout/Perspective views. This system offers a lower water resistance profile than the OEM brackets shipped with the transducers.
- Downrod Post End should be selected for use with the Humminbird Mega LIVE transducer

Ball set allows orientation of transducer for Forward, Down and Perspective views using the Garmin LVS32 Livescope Transducer.<\/p>\n
This mounting maintains the transducer centered under the downrod which will alleviate potential rotation of the downrod due to side pressure on the downrod.<\/p>\n
