Thanks for the replies, it took me 4 hours to finish setting up everything with 2 batteries. I tested everything out and everything turns on.
I ended putting the transducer under the a piece of foam that supports my x-factor seat. I figured since its the lowest part of the kayak, i would just put some water in there and it "should" read fine.
we will see...
I really had a hard time trying to find a good place to set the transducer on the x-factor.
