If you are wondering what's new and different from the 2021 Gen3 generation?
-New "Vise Block" design replaces the previous Gen3 "Receiver Block" design effectively eleminating the requirement for a separate tensioning screw and dramatically increasing the steadiness of the transducer and the speed and convenience of the setup step when adjusting the length of the beam and rotating the transducer out of the water. The new vise design also eliminates the spring pin requirement ultimately taking the Gen4 to the next level of product durability.
-Infinite beam adjustment for the horizontal beam length adjustment for precise settings.
-The Split Clamp that holds the down pole (which holds your transducer) is redesigned to be approximately double the depth of the Gen3 version increasing the precision as you rotate the pole.
-The Split Clamp now features a locking pattern profile for the tilt action removing the need for a tilt spring pin and improving durability and providing greater resolution for the tilt settings beyond the 90° detent setting.
-What has not changed you may ask?: it's only that you still get Fish Finder Mounts legendary commitment to providing our customers with the highest quality products, cutting edge design innovation and top notch cutomer support! :)
Comes with:
Comes standard with three 20 inch shaft links; total 60" inches of pole length when assembled together. Click-on the following three links to add more shaft links for greater shaft length for your transducer pole:
Our Generation 4 Pontoon Pole & Beam Mounting System (New for 2021) is rotational, tiltable and telescopic; perfect for your Garmin, Lowrance, Humminbird Live Sonar mounting applications, where you wish to mount to a square rail (typical to Pontoon Boats). It rotates horizontally (perfect for port or starboard mounting placement), tilts up to 180° degrees, and telescopes up and down for depth adjustment. You can even easily remove it out of the receiver block for quick install and break down for portability requirements. Even the down rod/transducer pole can be broken down for greater portability!
-Down Rod/Pole dimensions are 1" inch OD
There are a variety of options:
1) BEAM LENGTH: The 5" beam is great for gunnel mounting applications where you don't need much reach to get from the side of the boat and down into the water. The 10" beam is longer and therefore usually the option you would choose if/where mounting more inwards into boat such as on the bow deck of a bass boat or similar.
2) POLE LENGTH/(Down Rod/Shaft): Choose and mix & match your Pole Lenghts. Lengths available are: 20" inch, 12" inch & 6" inch length. Choose as many as you like at whatever lenghts you prefer and screw them together like a pool cue (links where to purchase more as afforementioned are above).
3) LIVESONAR ADAPTER TYPE: choose between the standard cylinder adapter covering Garmin Livesope (down & forward views), Lowrance Active Target (all views), & Humminbird Mega Live Imaging (all views), or select the Perspective Mode adapter (Garmin Livescope only) which supports all modes - perspective, down and forward.
4) HANDLE: choose between:
-"none" (I.e. make your own handle),
-7.5" fixed (needs a hex key/wrench to adjust), no tilt feature, is extendable in regards to length,
-9.5" adjustable tilt feature and also extendable in length,
-Twist Handle; twist the handle instead of rotating the handle to rotate the pole (by far our most deluxe handle option); also auto locking so water current cannot rotate the pole.
5) SHAFT COLLAR CLAMP IS INCLUDED: The Shaft Collar Clamp allows for smoother pole rotation and a more consistent depth setting:

6) MORE RECIEVER BLOCKS: Add more receiver blocks from our accessories page at this link:
https://www.fishfindermounts.com/product-page/2-inch-riser-blocks
Screw/attach them to your boat in multiple places. Maybe you have a front deck and a rear deck you want to easily swap your livescope transducer to.
7) Includes Pontoon Rail Clamp for for Square Rails:
Also works perfectly for Hobie H-Rail applications!

The ultimate Pontoon Rail Clamp from Fish Finder Mounts .com! Accepts square rails from 7/8" up to 1.5" profile. If longer fasteners are used the profile size can be increased to even accept larger rail profiles.
Clamps on three sides so as to avoid the need to drill through wall skirtings or four sides where the rail is clear of any wall structure.
