I bought mine from Mike's a few years ago. Give them a call and they can dig out what you need if you don't find it on the website. :)

Spoke with Mikes today, they don't have/can't get the Garmin mount I need. Looks like I'll have to order direct from Garmin was just trying to avoid the $30 shipping on a $10 part

How about gpscity.ca and/or gpscentral.ca? They have all sorts of weird mounts and brackets that can be hard to source locally. May not be the cheapest but Canadian at least.

http://www.scotty.com/fishing-gear-equipment/fishing-supplies/TransducerArmMount.htm

Scotty just came out with a kayak/SUP mount, but could take up to 1-2 mths to get it in. So in the mean time I did a little "fabricating" of my own. A bit crude but it will serve the purpose for now
Some 3/4" PVC pipe, 2- PVC 90's, a few tywraps and some black spray paint and she's done.... I'd post a pic but I have never been able to figure outgrow on here  :o
