Is the transducer mount plastic or metal?

Plastic, and I learned through use that there is no back lite. Other than that, I am happy with the unit.

the item is metal. However i had a very hard time getting a tight fit on both ends. it leaks a little at head and base. And the adjustable areas are hard to get to hold their position. Not the best product for +$50.

It is chromed plastic. the inner workings have to have some metal due to the weight of the whole unit, but it is sturdy and made well. It sits right between the forks on my motorcycle, so it gets all the wind right over it, and even with the horrible roads in Tucson, AZ it has held up well. Sounds GREAT!!!!!! as well.

From the outside, it definitely appears to be plastic, but is reinforced with a web beneath and might have metal (aluminum) inside it. I haven't used my instrument in rugged conditions and have been handling it with average care. There are no signs that that point might break or is deficient in design.

It is metal but not sure what, probably a heavy aluminum. It works wonderfully, I just bought a second one for my sister.

The Hayward 400 is metal and plastic. The middle is metal and the sides are plastic, but it does not feel cheap. It is solid. I just received it and it seems to work better than the previous unit I had that was about five or six years old.

Its metal and works great. I've had it for 6+ months and its still working like its brand new.

not really sure. Parts of it (the top handle) sound like plastic when I tap on it but the side rails sound like some type of metal (aluminum). So far I really like it. I especially like the fact it doesn't have the brackets on the side that the other model has

The mount is metal, and the internals appear to be metal too. The external casing is plastic. The filter ring is plastic. The overall feel is very solid.

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

It's made of metal. Not bad for the money. I've had mine for three month on my airsoft gun and is still dead on.yes I had to grind the mount to make it fit tight.

It comes with a XHS-9-HDSI-180-T; which is a transom mount transducer. Thank you, Thedigitaloasis

Plastic....and.....Plastic. It works, but keep the top screws nice and tight or the screws will back out and the flash mount will fall off.

Yes, it's plastic. I've had two for several months with no reliability issues.

It is metal, feels light like aluminum but is most likely some sort of pot metal. It is sturdy. There is a thin foamed protector taped to each half ( clam shell ) of the clamp. It's not quite canon quality but it is good quality, much cheaper then a canon mount if you can find one. I've been happy with it. I'll try to post a couple of pictures.

I believe that it is plastic . Have used it for over a year and it works fine.
