I am assuming the flasher, right? MarCum Accesories
You can use the same gimbel bracket from the winter setup and mount to a ram mount or mount direct to whereever you want via stainless bolts or screws.

If your anchored and want the camera over the side of the boat, I have seen some people tie the camera cable off on a anchor cleat to hold the camera at the desired depth.

The more stained the water the closer you’ll want to get to the bottom or where ever the fish are at.
The first section of this video (that was one of my first ) was taken over sand in a relatively even bottom. If I recall about 26 feet of water.
Notice how the camera turns to follow the fish? That’s me twisting the cable in my boat to keep the walleye on the screen.
The last part of the video is in 50 feet of water with boulders. In this case the camera would need to be not only rotated but raised and lowered vertically to keep from being stuck in the rocks.
Flexibility in movement is your friend in viewing fish in their natural environment.

What’s with the whiskers later in the video?

You should know that spot. P4 scour hole.
If I remember right there was a glimpse of a mud puppy in there too..but it’s only a blink of an eye appearance.

An “EYE” appearance you say?
