What Do You Think?
You do a morning session out of La Jolla and the launch is easy with manageable waves. Then it is time for you to re-enter the waves to land.
1. How do you protect your fish finder on a re-entry? You could re-enter many times and stay upright but what about that one time you flip the yak? Dunking your fish finder in salt water just doesn't sound like a good idea since they can cost $$. What do you do to protect your fish finder? What do you think? 2. The Hobie bait tank battery compartment seems to be just a lid that is held on with a bungie cord. It definitely does not look waterproof or secure if you do capsize. Do those of you that have a hobie bait tank remove the battery prior to re-entry? What do you think? Thanks.

I go thru the surf once a week on average throughout the year.
My one year old fish finder (bought brand new) doesn't work anymore. I am 100% certain it has to do with salt water .... |

when in doubt bag it up….Ofcourse I'm talking about the fish finder. Any thing I am wanting to keep dry on the yak especially when coming in thru the waves I will put into a dry bag while on calmer water.

I have a rubber cap I put over the connection to the FF, found it at Wal-Mart and it's for something else. I'll see if I can find the package to show it off. I disconnect the FF before launch and landing and stow it in my center hatch, in a bag of course. As soon as I'm loaded on the truck I remove my little cap and spray the connection with electrical contact cleaner and reapply dielectric grease, save with the FF. Been going strong for over a year now with no signs of corrosion. I am super good about taking care of it, especially since it was more expensive than the yak I put it on.
