Old custom made Kentucky-style mount on several different boats from Kentucky and Illinois deploying both Broadband (BB) and Rio Grande ADCPs. A pole can be fixed to the mount for deploying a GPS antenna located on top of the ADCP. The Kentucky-style mount constructed of Speed Rail is recommended for Rio Grande Workhorse, RiverPro, RioPro, and Sontek M9.
