Deep drop positioning creating spray? Protect your outboard. When you position your transducer deeper to escape aerated water and hold signal at speed, spray is often the trade-off. That atomised saltwater gets sucked into your outboard's air intake system and causes rust—externally where you can see it, and internally where you can't until it's too late. These stainless steel support tabs bolt onto your TIG Integrity mount arms and give you a platform to attach a custom spray deflection plate that redirects the spray away from your motor. How these tabs work The tabs themselves don't deflect spray—they provide the mounting points for a deflection plate that you design to suit your specific setup. This approach works because every boat, mount position, and transducer depth creates different spray patterns. A one-size-fits-all plate doesn't exist, but these tabs give you the foundation to build what works for your configuration. Custom plate design flexibilityOnce your mount is dialed in for optimal sonar performance, you design a plate to fit around it. Material options include plastic, stainless steel, or aluminium (raw or powder-coated). We provide instructional videos and guidance to help you fabricate your own, or contact me and I'll help you design one. Compatibility—TIG Integrity mounts only These tabs fit: 1KW ABYSS mount (1kW Airmar/Furuno transducers) Pelagic GT mount (Garmin GT transducers) Predator mount (Lowrance 3-1 transducers) A.I.M mount (Lowrance Active Image HD transducers) ECHO mount (Humminbird transducers) Does not fit: Factory transducer mounts from brand manufacturers What's included 2 stainless steel support tabs (1 left, 1 right) 4 sets of bolts and nuts (2 sets to attach tabs to mount arms, 2 sets to secure your deflection plate) You will get a card template to help make the spray plate . You use the template by cutting along the marked lines to get the template as close to the transom as possible and so no gaps are present so that water will not come through , then the card can be used to either DIY or given to a fabricator to cut your plate exactly the same as you template. Choose the option on the purchase page. Not included: Spray deflection plate (locally made custom-designed to suit your setup) Installation sequence Fine-tune your mount position for optimal sonar readings first. Once you've locked in the sweet spot, design and fabricate your spray plate to fit around that configuration, then bolt it to these tabs. WARNING -Ensure your final design does not have any part of your deigned plate in the fast water , below the hull line. for example you may increase the size of the plate on the motor side of the transducer but not on the other side where it may be below the hull line. Otherwise the guard may rip off if its under the fast water pressure as it drags through the water. Therefore your plate may not end up being be symmetrical looking. contact me for any design tips. Note: Product photos show tabs installed on Predator, TM2, and Pelagic GT mounts for demonstration. Design subject to change; current design shown in first images. Need help designing a plate? Call or message me with photos of your setup and I'll walk you through it. — Steve RogersTIG Integrity
