Lowrance Transducer Scupper Mount

Just finished mounting a Lowrance Elite-4x DSI Sonar on my malibu x-13 yak using the new Lowrance Transducer Scupper Mount. Had to trim a few piece's but it worked out rather well. I think the price of the kit from lowrance is rather expensive but it really makes it easy and a very clean install. By trimming a few piece's it sits tight in groove under yak. Beach landings should not be a problem if your careful.

Before anyone asks, it was mounted in the second hole so the transducer is more protected. Mounted in the first hole it hung down an extra 1/2 inch. The nice thing is it can be removed and remounted as needed.

DSI will not read properly or at all for that matter thru the hull!
