Fishfinder Suction Cup

[Fishnwire]

I wrecked the suction cup for the transducer on my Humminbird 565 portable. I checked the Humminbird site and you need to order a whole kit with hardware and parts that I don't require, but of course, have to pay for, just to get the suction cup. Also, I'm sure there will be shipping charges, which I'd just as soon avoid.

This particular suction cup has a tapped hole which accomadates a bolt which holds the transducer, so it's not like any suction cup will do, although if I could look at a few, I might find one that I can work with. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could lay my hands on a suitable replacement? Who sells suction cups? Anyone go through this before?

Thanks.

This might not be feasible for you because I use mine in a canoe, but I don't even use the suction cup. I screwed the transducer onto a piece of hockey stick and clamp it on the side of the canoe with a C clamp. It works great. If you use your imagination maybe you can come up with something.

That's kind of what I'm doing now, Shaker. It works but is a bit of a pain in the butt for various reasons.

Bass pro sells them only in kits. But I'm pretty sure they are only about $15 or so.
