Hey there Lector,
I made my mount for my all-in-one buddy III fishfinder but you could use some of it for your finder. Go to a thrift shop and buy a straight walled cooking pot that has a circumfrence a little smaller than your tube. Cut the bottom out of it with a hack saw then cut out a section you feel would serve as a solid mount for your finder screen/box. Go to Home Depot and look for parts (strap iron, this, and that) and have fun.
Even if your tube deflates a little as your mount follows the contour of your donut, u-boat or pontoon bladder it won't slip or droop into the water. That looks funny unless it's yours.
There is a site that sells mounts and the eagle mount is on this site. Check here first and if not do a search with Google.com with keywords such as tube, fishfinder, mount. I don't like the mount because the 'foot' of the mount is, I feel, too small and you're asking for disaster if your tube suddenly deflates.
Hope this helps
