Try Shane 123 on Iowa Sportsman, not sure if he still makes them or not.

Unless something has changed I asked Shane about making an arm last year and he said he no longer makes them.

You can buy a Marcum swing out arm. They sell them as a separate part. I took my big transducer float off and rigged up a Marcum arm and like it way better than float. RH
It's mind over matter, if you don't have a mind it don't matter.

You could get a Lithium Shuttle (shown in banner above). Ducer arm + all kinds of extra bells and whistles

Vex makes a plastic arm, and so does marcum...If you have a Humminbird you get the marcum arm some washers and a screw to mount on the huminbird pack.

The arms on the vex and marcum's are fine and don't break very easy in the cold.

One of the reasons for the custom built arms was due to the arm on the showdown....the original arm with the showdown was a very brittle plastic that snapped easy when it was really cold out. So people started buying a $30 aluminum custom arm replacement to fix the issue vs buying a dozen plastic ones....I think they might have fixed the plastic showdown arm issue though.

I wish we'd have a guy on the site that would do custom stuff like transducer arms & drill/auger/power head adaptors.
