Is this suitable for mounting on a pontoon boat rail?

I'm thinking about buying this for my pontoon. I'm assuming the clamp comes off and I'll have to buy the Hummingbird Float Tube Strap to mount this to my pontoon boat.

I think it would really depend on how you mount it, Ive been using mine on a kayak and a 14foot john boat, if think that if you mounted the fish finder the way they show it in the picture on amazon it would work. It would also depend how wide the rails are on your boat. The mount is pretty flexable so I think you should be fine if you got it

It is designed to mount on the side of a smaller craft. I guess it would come down to what is the distance between the rail and the water. I do not believe that Hummingbird designed this model with pontoons in mind. V-hual- flat bottom crafts in the 10' foot to 16' range I beliueve would be suitable for this locator. I would think that a look at other Hummingbird products might better serve your purpose. Something with a detachable transducer.

I believe that would be fine. The instructions show it attached to a boat. There are mounting holes.

It is intended for pontoon boats due to the shaft length and the mount, but it could be used on other boats. You need to make sure that you get a trolling motor that is the best length and has the best mount for your needs.

Yes, you can mount it on a pontoon. I put my downrigger on the corner of the pontoon boat but attached it to a raised storage area. A clamp on the rail should work, though. Make sure you secure it well!

If it's in an area that's not in the way, yes! I use it on a boat and the clamp is very strong!

I purchased this winch for our 13' Valco fishing boat, which is not a pontoon boat. My decision was made based on reading a review by a fellow purchaser who said it works. My husband is very handy and he also thinks it will work although it may require adding a surface to mount it. Unfortunately, he hasn't had time to install it yet but I have confidence that he can! Hope this helps and sorry for not responding previously. I had hoped he would get it installed this past summer at our cabin but he was too busy installing new windows. Best.

I have three of them for my pontoon boat which has 1" wide rails. The clamp at it's maximum opening is 1 3/4" inch. Hope that helps.

Its designed to hook over the gunwale of a boat. I would not use it for your purpose.

I have mine rail mounted on my 20 gauge pump. It holds up fine. It should work fine for you.

Yes it should work. I used it on my wooden railing. What I did was drill holes it the plastic and used plastic ty-raps to secure it the railing.

This is a deck post light..don't think it would fit properly on a deck rail. It works well and the light is sufficient to light the deck. May I suggest the deck stairway lights instead. good luck!

you would need an L bracket to do it the one it comes with hangs over my rail.

will need to buy 2 mounting plates, but otheriwise I would think it should work. I have it on 18 ft pontoon and works great bow mount.

If the railing is hollow, I wouldn't recommend it; unless you change out the screws for long bolts & nuts, and run them all they way through the other side of the bracket.

Thank you David. I haven't completely figured out where I want to put it on the pontoon. How well is the unit watertight? If the unit was mounted close to the water do you think it would get any water inside? Thanks again.

The simple answer is yes. You may need to be creative in the way you mount it.
