Through scupper transucer mount
Has anybody tried one of these? I have three kayaks and my primary kayak is set up with the HDS-5 but my other two kayaks do not have FF. I was thinking if I used this set up I could transfer a new FF between the second and third kayak (tandem) relatively easy. Just curious if anyone has had experience with this set up.

I used this set up for swapping my FF between my Xfactor and Tarpon 160. It works well. The problem I had with it was I was overly concerned about hitting the transducer while loading and unloading my yaks.
It fits some yaks better than others depending on the channels that run with your scuppers. It fit the Xfactor great, but hung out a little far on the tarpon. |

Yeah, I was thinking it might stick out a ways (depending on yak hull) but I would break it down after each use (looks easy to do). Jimmyz, thanks for that link. It makes me want to redo my HDS-5 setup.

Create the ring that he did and then put a thin layer of putty in the bottom of that well, this provides the media needed to conduct the readings. pinch the putty around the ducer and it will not come out and you'll get good readings.
