Transducer Buddy™ Auto-Stowing Sonar Pole (Gunnel Mount)

Protect your investment and fish with confidence using the Transducer Buddy™ Auto-Stowing Live Sonar Pole (Gunnel Mount) — the original patented solution engineered for today’s advanced live sonar systems. Built for serious anglers, this premium live sonar pole mount automatically stows your transducer to prevent damage from underwater hazards, debris, and high-speed travel—keeping you focused on fishing, not equipment.

Now optimized for the latest sonar technology, Transducer Buddy™ is precision-engineered for Garmin LiveScope, including the LVS42HD, LVS34, and the new LVS44. We are currently the only auto-stowing live sonar pole specifically designed with LVS42HD compatibility in mind, delivering superior balance, deployment, and protection.

At the same time, this is a true universal live sonar pole system, built to perform seamlessly with all major forward-facing sonar brands, including Humminbird MEGA Live, Lowrance ActiveTarget (1 & 2), and AccuPhy Ping Live Sonar. No matter what system you run, Transducer Buddy™ delivers reliable, hands-free protection and performance.

This package includes a 48" live sonar pole and our 12" Pro Folding Handle, giving you precise control, smooth operation, and all-day usability on the water.

Built for Performance and Protection

The patented fully mechanical system automatically stows your transducer when boat speeds reach approximately 3–6 mph or during takeoff, eliminating the need for electronics, wiring, or manual intervention. This means fewer failures, less hassle, and total confidence in any fishing condition.

Exceptional Canadian Craftsmanship

Proudly designed, manufactured, and tested in Canada, the Transducer Buddy™ is built to withstand the harshest environments—from shallow structure-filled lakes to rough open water. Every unit is engineered for long-term durability and rigorously tested to meet the demands of tournament and recreational anglers alike.

Seamless Gunnel Mount Installation

This gunnel mount live sonar pole system includes everything required for secure, direct installation to your boat. For added flexibility, pair it with our Track Mount Adapter Plate for quick install and removal on CISCO, BERTS, and TraxTech 3" track systems.
