Anyone try something like this?

No but I'm sure it will work.  Essentially the same thing as mounting the totalscan transducer on my anti-cavitation plate on my propel drive.

He has a tandem island.

haha good question.  Its a tandem island, and I've got a small 2 stroke.  So between sail and motor there is rarely a need for both pedals.  I'd still bring the pedals just in case they became necessary.

More importantly why haven’t you changed your forum name to hobietandemisland? Because I know that’s not a Jackson BigTuna , I got one parked behind both my Native propels.  :smt044 :smt044

Both my Native transducer are mounted on plastic sink drains in a scupper hole, the Big Tuna was on a light weight pvc pipe on.... yep a scupper hole. Should work fine and if it’s wired right removable for transport.

Done! Super easy.

I had a Jackson big tuna! My first kayak. Kind of a beast to paddle.
