Premium fish finder shuttles transform your forward-facing sonar setups into portable, protected systems. Why limit this technology to just hard or soft water? Whether fishing on the ice or open water, mounting it to a snowmobile or boat, feature-rich shuttles provide a self-contained and powered way to transport and protect this technology. Many factory fish finder setups lack the flexibility anglers need, making aftermarket shuttles a practical solution.
In this video, Brad Kolstad from Fish Armor USA explains how these shuttles work, their design, and the options available for anglers looking to improve their sonar mobility.

PROTECTIVE AND PORTABLE: THE PRO EXTREME LIVE IMAGING SHUTTLE
The Pro Extreme Shuttle is built with a rugged, rotomolded frame to handle harsh conditions. Forward-facing sonar units are a significant investment, and having a durable mounting system helps prevent damage during transport. The flush-mounted aluminum lid shields the screen and also acts as a sunshade for better visibility on bright days.
This shuttle is designed to secure sonar components, allowing easy access and customization. It includes internal and external cable management, a dedicated mounting system for Garmin users, wired switches, and integrated USB/C ports for charging additional devices. Accessories like LED lights make it easier to use in low-light conditions, whether night fishing or organizing gear before a trip.
THE PRO LITE LIVE IMAGING SHUTTLE: A COMPACT, VERSATILE OPTION
For those looking for a lighter, more compact setup, the Pro Lite Shuttle offers a smaller footprint while maintaining key functionality like pre-wired switches USB/C ports. This model is commonly used by anglers who switch between ice and open water fishing.
Its integrated feet allow for quick installation and removal from the Fish Armor docking plate, making moving between boats or other setups easier. The adjustable gimbal mount provides better screen positioning, and the open-air design protects the computer module while keeping it well-ventilated.
LIVE IMAGING PRO POLE: CORD MANAGEMENT FOR FORWARD-FACING SONAR
Managing transducer cables can be one of the more frustrating aspects of using forward-facing sonar. The Pro Pole keeps cords organized by running them internally through the pole, reducing tangles and exposure to the elements. This is especially useful in winter conditions, where exposed cables can freeze to the ice or become difficult to handle.
The Pro Pole is constructed with machined aluminum parts for smooth operation and durability. The fully adjustable handle allows for easy positioning, and the transducer mount simplifies switching between forward, down, and landscape/perspective modes. It’s compatible with Humminbird’s MEGA Live and MEGA Live 2, Garmin, and Lowrance transducers.
WHY PORTABLE SONAR SETUPS MATTER
A fish finder shuttle efficiently transports and protects sonar technology across different fishing scenarios. Whether ice fishing, moving between boats, or mounting sonar units on a snowmobile or ATV, having a self-contained system saves money while increasing usage flexibility. By keeping screens, cables, and components organized, these setups help anglers spend more time fishing, and less time managing equipment or having to own multiples.
