Product Information
Full details
The Jaxon Heavy Duty Sonar Handle is designed for anglers who require a secure, stable mounting solution for their fishfinder transducers on small to mid-sized boats. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, adjustable platform that keeps your sonar sensor in the water, ensuring accurate data collection during navigation. However, users should note that the 85cm length is fixed, which may require careful placement on boats with extremely high gunwales to ensure the transducer reaches the optimal depth.

FAQs
Does this handle include a mount for the transducer itself?
The handle is designed to work with your existing transducer bracket that comes with your fishfinder.
Can I use this on a kayak?
Yes, provided your kayak has a flat or rigid section on the gunwale for the clamp to securely grip.
Is the handle height adjustable?
No, this specific model is a fixed length of 85cm.
Will this rust in saltwater?
While it is made for marine use, proper rinsing with fresh water after saltwater use is essential to maintain longevity.
What is the maximum thickness the clamp can open to?
The clamp is designed to accommodate most standard fishing boat gunwale widths, typically up to 5-7cm thick.
Troubleshooting
The handle vibrates while the boat is moving
Tighten the clamp further and ensure the rubber pads are making full contact with the gunwale.
The transducer does not sit deep enough in the water
Reposition the clamp closer to the edge of the gunwale or select a flatter section of the boat side to reduce reach distance.
Clamp slips on smooth metal surfaces
Add a small piece of non-slip rubber matting between the clamp and the boat side for additional grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-strength materials prevent flexing in current
- Easy to install and remove without permanent hardware
- Compatible with most standard fishfinder transducer mounts
- Provides a stable signal read even at moderate speeds
Cons
- Fixed length of 85cm may be too short for very high-sided vessels
- Lack of telescopic adjustment requires specific mounting placement
- Heavier than plastic alternatives, adding minor weight to gear bags
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the handle, simply open the clamp wide enough to clear your gunwale edge and tighten the locking bolt until the mount is immovable. Ensure the transducer mounting bracket is attached securely to the handle before tightening it to the boat side.
Compatibility
- Boat Types: Suitable for aluminum skiffs, canoes, and small to medium fiberglass boats.
- Transducers: Fits most standard transom-mount transducer brackets.
Care Instructions
- Rinse with fresh water after every use, especially after saltwater excursions.
- Check the tightness of the clamp bolt periodically to ensure no vibration has caused it to loosen.
- Store in a dry environment to prevent potential oxidation of metal components.
