Scotty sucks, need alternative

I live in Canada, Scotty is a Canadian company and I live in a major city, you would think I could buy all or almost all the pieces I need. Nope, I can't even special order them. Yes, I contacted Scotty, Scotty distributor and local stores. 3rd bad experience with Scotty and their inability to supply common staple product even after months of trying so I am looking to alternatives. For boats I went to Folbe and Down East. Mini rant over

Folbe sells railmounts, extended arms for rod holders and some kick but rod holders. So that is covered, I think. Does anyone else have these?


I have this nice Scotty transducer arm sitting on a shelve in the garage, can't get the fishfinder head mount. I don't like the mad frog or other side mount units I have seen, looking for something like the Scotty, any suggestions?

thanks,
finny

When all else fails, go to Amazon and order your Scotty stuff.....delivered in two days free if a Prime member

Are you looking for transducer arms, what about the RAM arm? Or mounts for your fish finder? Or Rod holders? Like everything else, it is based on personal preference. I am invested in a combo of RAM, Hobie and YakAttack. RAM tubes on spline mounts, Ram spline bases with gear track attachments, RAM balls, Hobie H-Bar Rod holders, and Hobie/YA mighty mount and tracks, etc.

The combination may seem strange but they integrate very well and allow me to customize the boat VERY easily for any particular outing. I have even added H-bars to my non-Hobie guest kayak so that I can share accessories when I take my unfortunate yak-less friends along.

I am not sure what the problem is with Scotty in Canada, or how Amazon Prime works over the boarder either. Guess I am lucky down hear in St. Louis, Missouri. I buy a ton of my stuff from ACK and receive it in just a few days, or Amazon Prime and have in two days, and if it an emergency and I need it now, I have a BassPro, Cabela's, and three Gander Mountains within a 20 minutes drive plus my Hobie dealer who keeps a pretty decent stock of H-accessories.

I live in Canada as well and I never had issue getting Scotty products. What transducer are trying to mount?

follow up....a little while after I posted this a friend had mercy on me and picked one up while on a trip so I used it.
It works now so I don't want to go through more hassle. Next time I will consider something else.
Amazon: 2-3 times the price
Hobie: pffft they were of no help, one person did try, another basically shrugged their shoulders.
Buddy: he always comes through.
It is just really strange. One would think that a company wants to make sure its product can be sold. Hobie does a GREAT job in this respect and that makes me happy.
