Default Rig Rite bracket mount for transducer??

Anyone have experience with these? They're cheaper than the Humminbird trolling motor transducer mount and are metal. They get better reviews but may require modification for different transducers.
I just ordered a Humminbird Helix 9 DI from Hodges Marine.

Followup: I received the Rig Rite bracket and mounted my new Humminbird transducer to it.
I haven't put it in the water yet, but the Rig Rite mount is SOLID. It uses plastic spacers to make it able to fit any transducer you throw at it. The actual bracket is metal, and like I said, SOLID.
If you need a new trolling motor transducer bracket mount, this is it.
* I did have to cut and shave one of the spacers down with a hacksaw and some 60-grit sandpaper, but was able to get a perfect fit. It was quick and easy.

Followup:
I used this trolling motor transducer for a day on the water. Nothing to complain about; it functioned as it should.
I also didn't have to keep re-adjusting the angle of my transducer. The fact that you can sand/ grind the supplied spacers down to your requirements is a plus, allowing you to get the perfect fit for your specific transducer.
