Are any of you running transducers designed for transom mounts on kayak mounting arms, or does that even matter?

 

I currently have a Hook2 with a skimmer tripleshot transducer (has sidescan) attached to a Yak Attack Switchblade. But now I'm looking at upgrading to a HELIX 7 CHIRP MEGA with side imaging and GPS. It looks like I can just remove the transom bracket from the transducer and attach it to the arm. I'm not missing anything here, am I? I don't want to spend $700 and find out this won't work.

 

If I do upgrade, I think I'm going to take the Yak Attack CellBlok of the rail and Velcro mount it behind the seat, then get the proper plate for the display  mount, then attach the Switchblade directly to the rail instead of attached to the CellBlok.

 

 

On the canoe, I ran the transducer for my Garmin Striker 7cv on a Scotty arm...seemed to be fine even under power (30# TM on the back)

 

You just take the transom mount piece off and replace it with the arm...same bolt is used.
