TubeDude,
Thanks for the pics, I am going to try and incorporate a form of the loop method in the design. I made some drawings today of a "prototype" rack. I decided to forego the fishfinder mount for now. PVC is inexpensive, so I can add that to following versions. The design is similar to some other designs on the forum, but I am trying to make it a little more compact.
I am posting the drawing for the ODC, so I can get feed back before I start construction. Any thoughts on the diameter? I used 1" sch. 20, which has an id of around 1-3/32". It seems that it will be a snug fit, but workable. I'll go to 1-1/4" pvc if needed, but I would like to avoid the added bulk associated with that. Thanks guys for the constructive help so far.
