HB 360 w/boat cover

[Aruss1984]

I added an ultrex and 360 to my cougar and my cover was designed for a fortrex. There’s no way I can drive with the cover on. I have yet to have it altered but that’s my next course of action as I’m hoping I wont need to buy a new cover. When I park the boat I’ve put a separate tarp over the bow to cover up the large gap between the boat and cover. You should be able to get your cover altered to fit the 360 add-on

Considering HB 360 on new Lynx but concerned if there is a best way to install and use a travel cover. Specifically, will a cover put too much force on the 360 mount going down the road at highway speeds.

I still have to decide what I want and order the boat…so plenty of time to get a cover made🙂 I am just concerned if the cover puts excessive stress on the 360 unit. I’m thinking not but looking for feedback from those who have tackled this set up.

I have a 360 on a Fortrex. I have a custom Aurora Cover, and told them I had a 360 when I ordered mine. It fits perfect. With the Fortrex, you can loosen the clamp to adjust the trolling motor depth, and rotate the head (and consequently the 360 transducer) down (which will lower the head of the motor toward the carpet). This slides my 360 to the right of the TM shaft instead of on top (how I keep it when I’m fishing). I also imagine you could make a stiff foam type support bracket between the TM shaft and the 360 pod , that would have to be removed for fishing, but could be good for trailering, or long bumpy runs.

I like the foam block idea because I’m looking at an Ultrex and the whole shaft rotates so the 360 mounts to the head unit and not sure if I can rotate it enough to get it at least even with the motor shaft.
